Wintermob Air Co. presents the Zakashi. A not quite next generation fighter, it has a forward swept wing design., which makes it fairly maneuverable. Armed with 4 Interceptor and 2 Guardian AA missile and of course the obligatry forward mounted guns, it is a force to be reckoned with.

This is based on an advanced aircraft, the name of which totally escapes me right at this time.
I'm fairly sure the only similarities between this aircraft and that one is that they both have forward swept wings, the rest is totally out of my head.
All missiles are mounted on the outer wing because of the canard in front, I'm pretty sure the missiles would hit it otherwise.
The engines are everyone's favorite BFE150 (who doesn't love afterburners?) made extra thin, and with halved power.
I am wondering if I should have mounted the big BFE300 Turbo Fans instead, it seems to lack the power to climb at high (30K+ ft) altitude.
I sort of planned for a single engine, but mounting it right at the end made the aircraft very unstable for some reason and in the end the plane looks cooler with the loooong air intakes.
I had the PC fly vs a F-15 and it was able to go head to head and win more often than not, although you shouldn't take my word for it.
It turned out far better than I hoped it would.
EDIT: I realized that the F-15 I had the PC fly against ( @Sulaiman123 ) may not be the best, but it is certainly the most recent one I could find, so, I also downloaded an F-15 made by @KCferrari and it did pretty well against that also.
Is there a F-15 Eagle here that is considered to be the 'Best' version?
I have also tested it against a Su-27 and while it didn't do too badly if it survived the first pass, it was mostly outclassed. That's a real next gen fighter for you.
