PDI Renegade Fighter II Mk 3
Press (1) to release drop tanks, and (4) to release missiles. Press (2) to arm the Interceptor missiles, and (3) to arm the Guardian missiles. Use VTOL to control airbrakes. A much more dramatic improvement over previous models of the Renegade II series. The aircraft is fitted with a new Mk 10 20mm aircraft cannon, sporting a doubled rate of fire and a noticeably higher shot velocity compared to the older Mk 6 20mm aircraft cannon. It is fitted in a new fairing under the fuselage, which also houses the landing gear, incidentially raising its angle of attack on the ground. This and the slightly increased wing area by slightly straightening the wing's trailing edge helped decrease the takeoff speed by 25%, from 400mph to 300mph. This allows the aircraft to take off from Bandit Field, something not possible on older aircraft. The aircraft's missiles now must be armed before firing, since the missile lock function sometimes gave an aircraft's posiiton away when attempting to close in for a kill with the cannon. Now, the Interceptor Missiles and the Guardian missiles can be armed separately.

It uses the same modded engines from previous versions, to simplify logistics. @Delphirier
Engines were not changed from previous versions, as although more powerful engines would yield greater performance, it would bring fuel consumption to unacceptable levels. While it does pitch up at high speeds, I never noticed any tendency to roll left. @Delphirier
There are however, several problems with this .-. for 1. It goes up when going at high speed (about as fast as my Interceptor) but it goes up a lot higher, also when pitching it rolls to its left.
@Pilotmario So lemme guess this uses more modded J50s xD
The Renegade II Mk 1 and Mk 2 couldn't due to the poor acceleration from the use of modified Blasto 50 turbojets, meaning it would take the whole runway at Murphy/Yeager or Wright/Tarpley to get to speed. The Mk 1 Navy could in fact take off from the USS Tiny, but that was a V/STOL fighter. Thing literally could take off from anywhere level and large enough to fit the jet. @Delphirier
Wait, your older planes couldn't take off from badit airfield??? All of my planes can take off from bandit airfield...
