Document II: Description
Document II.A: Synopsis
The F/A-468M is a single-seat multirole fighter created by the Corporation for the German Luftwaffe and is its sixteenth aircraft. It is the culmination of Darkhound's decades of experience in producing military aircraft by mixing together elements of their previous products and adding new features to create this well-rounded fighter.
Document II.B: Design
The Dunkelhund III uses the Corporation's old but still potent VII.ADG engines fIrst used on the Corvo, which directly preceded the F/A-468M's namesake predecessor. The design of the Darkhound III's main body and the upper half of its engine nacelles took inspirations from Darkhound's previous Arthur, its wing shape and the lower half of its nacelles were taken from the XFA-401, and the configuration of its foils are drawn from the Corporation's first variable-sweep wing fighter, the XFA-328 Phönix.
Document II.C: Armament
The Darkhound III uses a brand new weapons suite, featuring the brand-new Umgeben.V411 Long-range AESA Radar. The new radar set complements the BVRMPM-332 that can lock at air targets from 40 kilometers away and at surface targets from 15 kilometers. The MPM-293 is more inclined for medium-range to close dogfights, with a maximum 15 kilometer lock range for both air and ground targets. A new feature that debuts on the F/A-468M are retracting guns, which are DHC MR-20Z rotary guns used numerous times on its predecessors. However, instead of ammunition loaded from the rear and to the side, bullets are feeded directly to the side. The gun's length dimension is able to be made more compact, and garnered it the name MR-20ZK "Kurz".
Document II.D: Production
The Dunkelhund III currently has 22 prototype units and 145 production units as of early 2031, though the Corporation plans to build 1,750 production units by the late 2030s and keep them up and running to the 2090s and even beyond. Like the F/A-168M, it was called "Dunkles Herz" and "Bluteborne", alongside new affectionate nicknames from Luftwaffe pilots of "Wyvern", "Scharfschützin", and "Schwarzerot Riesin".

@ThomasRoderick Oh, makes sense now!
@Darkhound Sorry, just an obligatory "cute dog" joke about the plane's name...
@ThomasRoderick no idea
Who's a good boy? Who's a good boy?
@Darkhound
Thank you, your words are comforting
@TashaTashaTheBuggy Yes, I am.
@LITVYAK013INDUSTRIES Make the plane to your liking and to your device's capabilities, take screenshots at high quality if you have PC, organize the description with controls first before the lore, and then take the specs of your plane. But if you don't have the time, effort, and/or resources, it's totally fine. Just work on your pace, don't force yourself to chug out as many planes as possible, and the improvements on your builds comes with experimentation, perseverance, and listening to constructive criticism. Hope this helps!

yer alive, my man
It is an excellent machine, or rather an airplane, it has good weapons and is fun to use, I think one of the reasons why my publications are not so seen is because they are boring, and I want to ask, how do you organize your publications?
