A-43 Hunchback
! Fixed Version !
Big thanks to
@edensk for the flight model
and @CrazyCatZe for the help with the paint (without him it would have been Black/Purple) and here is a great plane by him the XF-20-s-P-s
This is the A-43 Hunchback it was proposed as a replacement for the A-10 Warthog. The Army didn't need it, but the Royal NAVY did. So with some changes (Arrestinghook, Folding wings, etc.), it was sold to them. It has an automatic nosewheel steering lock (the nose wheel can't pivot all the way above 32 km/h), automatic flaps (1st stage 300-350km/h, 2nd stage 250-300km/h, 3rd stage <250km/h) and a similar boundary layer control- system to the F-104 (it blows extra air from the engine over the Flaps)
It has an IFR probe (In-Flight Refueling Probe)
It has Towed Radar Decoys like the Eurofighter Typhoon
It has three missile types:
The MBDA Meteor (A Long Range Radar guided Air to Air missile)
The SPEAR 3 (A Air to surface missile)
The Storm Shadow (A Long-range Air to surface missile)
(I accidentally oversized this one)
It also has 4 50mm and two 100 mm canons
Controls:
Landing gear, Pitch, Roll, Yaw, Trim -> Standard
AG 1 arresting hook
AG 2 activate SPEAR 3
AG 3 activate Storm Shadow
AG 4 activate MBDA Meteor
AG 5 extend Towed Decoys
AG 6 extend IFR Probe
AG 7 activate thrust reverse
AG 8 on activate automatic flaps + BLC (boundary layer control)
AG 8 off Fold wings (below 36 km/h and below 4m AGL)

@CrazyCatZe kein problem (da ich dich nicht spotlighten kann)
Thaaaaanks
@Judmaierm nice! I can’t wait to see it!
@Mustang51 that's an Idea (I'm actually working on a Fighter)
@Judmaierm fair enough. Maybe a replacement for the typhoon would be cool to see too
@Mustang51 at the moment I'm not planning on building one but there are still a few weapons I have to build so I might change my mind some day
@Judmaierm awesome! Will there be a Eurofighter to go along with it?
@Mustang51 thanks I'm planning to upload a eurofighter weapons pack at the moment I have the ASRAAM, the IRIS-T, the Meteor and the Spear 3 (i have to redo the Stormshadow)
The plane itself looks pretty cool but those missiles are awesome! The meteor especially looks great. Wonderful job!
