FairchildMitchell designed the A-15 while experimenting with newly learned parts clipping techniques. It's purpose is to provide adequate CAS and be balanced, both with it's payload and without it. The only way to achieve this was to add two VTOL nozzles so that they could be adjusted on the fly (pun very much intended). The plane may be difficult to control, but after acouple tries it does not seem so complex.

1- Bomb under fuselage
2- Short range missiles (4)
3- High Velocity missiles (4)
4- External Fuel
5- Landing Gear
6- VTOL Nozzles

On takeoff, which may be tricky at first, activate both 5 and 6, and go to full throttle. Once at a decent speed (a little over 100) pull down on the slider until the plane lifts off of the runway and adjust it so that the front gear is perfectly inside of the nose. Next, deactivate 5 (the landing gear) and adjust the slider so that the plane is perfectly balanced. This should put the slider SLIGHTLY above the center. You may now use the VTOL slider to aid in turns to make them tighter.
"Himmel-Jager" is German for "Sky Hunter", which is an apt name given the slow(er) flying jets CAS role. The user may re-outfit the plane with whatever armaments they like.
NOTE: The missiles can not be fired while the plane is grounded. FAIRCHILD-MITCHELL INDUSTRIES: Innovation, that Excites
