PLEASE READ THE NOTE SECTION BEFORE DOWNLOADING

LCAS-1 NG (Light Close Air Support 1 Next-Generation; NATO Codename: "Darmith"), this plane still a derivative of LCAS-1 family, but it’s a whole new plane compared to the predecessor. This plane is now haves enclosed bomb bay to increase its payload without sacrificing performance (due to drag force) and RCS (Radar Cross Section). Improved speed, stability, and agility also come with this plane. Addition of fuel widen its service range which resulting in wider array of missions. This wide array of missions can further improved with 4 external pylons, users can decide which combination work best for the required missions, from bomb, rocket pod, air-to-ground missiles, gatling gun, or maybe some air-to-air missiles for self-defense, After some complaints, we finally differentiate the lights into navigation lights and landing lights. Smoke screen deployer installed as self-defense in case the plane under attack while still on the ground, or also to mark some ground target before the big boy came in. It’s now on the production line, and we expect a bigger amount of orders from some prospective countries.
