Visually there's not much difference from the Mark I, but the Mark II has a number of improvements under the hood: tremendously improved handling, a much higher top speed, and more powerful railguns. With an upgraded dual-sensitivity control system, in fast turn mode, the Thor II can turn on a dime even at 5000 mph and above; and in precise control mode it can make fine adjustments without the slightest wobble. The Thor II flies steady as a rock (a very fast, flying rock), making it an ideal railgun platform. The bigger railguns make for much larger explosions, which on the one hand make it easy to see when you've hit a distant target, but on the other hand, the giant fireball can obscure other targets nearby - but that's not too much of a problem, just overshoot the target by 5 miles or so, make a hard 180 degree turn, then switch to precise mode to line up your next shot. The best approach speed is between 1600 and 4000 mph, but I've made successful attack runs at 6000 mph. As for top speed, I've reached 15,656 mph (Mach 21) at 75,000 feet - and it's still maneuverable at that speed.
Controls: AG8 to toggle pitch sensitivity, air-to-ground mode to arm railguns.

@Kerbango Good ideas, I'm full of them.
@DarthAbhinav You know your Norse mythology.
@SledDriver OMG what a good idea on the Beacon Light Crosshair I might Implement that if I remember.
Cool! @SledDriver
Thanks, this plane started out as a throwaway concept and turned out to be the best-performing out of all my planes. The crosshair is just a beacon light scaled down really small and positioned where the default crosshair normally would be. @TTHHSSSS
Really love these planes. Nice work! How'd you edit the default crosshair? It's super accurate
@Kerbango When Thor is this powerful, Ragnarok ends with the good guys winning...
Wow, Thor bringing about Ragnarok.
