So~ the cannon I have no idea where to place, the missiles not modded, ground performance appalling, weird instant turn response and various other maladies exist on this aircraft. It stole some modded fuel tanks and uh. Try not to die from the G's it can pull; capische?

That ups the drag a lot, it's actually a problem with the infinite fuel tanks. @luzernsaphir
maybe you can try use the struct wings rather than panels build the main wing shape?
Yea... I'm tossing this into the bin. I give up. On the other hand, the Project 32-1 (33-1)'s new "beauty remake" is working well.
To state clearly what I want this to become, I've decided to make a full post on it.

Armament;
It's armament should consist of several missiles all mounted on the wing section closest to the fuselage for a total of 6 Type 54A's and 10 Type 53U's. With an outboard/gunpod mounted 37mm cannon (specs; on Project 33-2 Forum post). As a dedicated air superiority fighter unable to match the high altitude performance of the Project 32-2, it was designed for the close combat that the Project 32-2 was never expected to perform even moderately well in.
Visuals;
It should have a visual similar to... Various 1970's aircraft. It looks like the F-15 a lot though. However it uses the engines as part of the wing for a smooth connection (not present here) between wing and engine, a very futuristic concept during it's time, one to maximize the maneuverability of the aircraft. Of course, it's much slimmer than the F-15 for the cockpit section.
Flight Quality;
It's supposed to complete every single maneuver at full and empty almost perfectly smoothly even up to high altitude. 26,000 ft.
Maneuverability;
The Atlantian League had always associated maneuverability and fighter together so closely, they seemed inseparable. So of course the Atlantians fell back on maneuverability due to a lack of recent fighter experience.
Full loop: ~9 seconds
Roll: ~1.5 seconds
(At full load)
History;
Until the 1970's the Atlantian League completely lacked an indigenous jet fighter. It appeared in the Type 54, which shocked the world (mostly because it wasn't bad) as it surpassed several other aircraft during it's time developed by major powers. Not from official reports. Just from military intelligence. To make up for technological inferiority, the aircraft was designed to be the most maneuverable combatant in the sky. Being designed as an air superiority fighter it was also meant to operate from "less than optimal" air bases on the frontline. Though on the offhand, it would have been a somewhat fragile aircraft to cannon fire. The fruit of the collaboration of several military contractors for the Atlantian League, it would never see the light of day.
