Carrier capable Night Fighter and Radio Intercept Aircraft
, fitted with a small radar antenna allowing the aircraft to detect targets within 2-4km
if and only if they are directly in front of the aircraft within 45 degrees
.
Brief Lore:
As new technology developed, a new variant of the Deadalus rolled off the assembly line. Featuring a small radar, along with 'airborne cigars', the aircraft was now capable of radio intercept operations and detection of aerial targets to some extent, giving it a very much needed edge in combat operations.
Unlike previous variants, the D-7 doesn't have bulges on the wings to support the landing gear. The landing gear could now fold into the fuselage, creating less drag, while also looking a lot better being tucked away.
Combined with its speed, maneuverability and versatility, the PG-25D
proved to be a powerful platform.
