The ES-59 is a VTOL light attack aircraft designed with versatility in mind. Squirrel industries also went to extra mile to create a crude cockpit for this model. However, this is not the first plane with a Squirrel Industries cockpit, that crown goes to the ES-75… As you can see, Squirrel Industries has quite the backlog of planes and has currently ran into a technology gap with competing companies because of this backlog.

However, the ES-59, while lacking in some areas because of the backlog, has made up for this with its VTOL capability and high top speed in comparison to later conventional attack aircraft. For weapons, the ES-59 sports 4 inferno missiles, 4 boom 25’s and 2 rocket pods. These are also coupled up with 2 miniguns imbedded into the wings.

Those with a keen eye will notice that this is a dash 1 variant as despite being made a while ago, it was revisited and subsequently upgraded to satisfy customers.
