My first attempt at a classic craft, make sure to launch on final aproaches or any airbone spawn. Used AI for lore, not sure if its a good multi-role tho.

The ZT-12A “Barrel Fish” is a specialized, lightweight, experimental strike aircraft designed under the 1962 Tri-Service Aircraft Designation System. The aircraft's most distinctive features are its wing-mounted fuel tanks, which earned it the nickname "Barrel Fish," and the large air intake positioned just beneath the cockpit, giving the plane a streamlined, aquatic appearance.

Engineered without landing gear to reduce weight and enhance its in-flight maneuverability, the ZT-12A relies on parachute recovery after completing its mission. It is deployed via a larger aircraft, making it ideal for rapid, disposable strikes or reconnaissance missions where landing conditions are uncertain or the plane needs to be retrieved after a mission.

Its small, compact fuselage and delta wing configuration allow for a high degree of agility, making it effective in close air support or strike roles in high-risk environments. The "Barrel Fish" can also be equipped with a variety of underwing armaments, such as bombs or missiles, for versatile mission loadouts.
