CF.43 - Hetic Republican Air Force

8.4 years ago
CF.43 loaded with ASMs and AAMs, in service with the Republic of Hetland, a Robanian puppet-state established after their annexation of the country early in the Westenlands Wars. Robania's inability to field aircraft carriers in any significant number led to a surplus of the aircraft, many of which were sold to the Hetish, who used them as land-based strike fighters against foreign-funded Transitionalist forces.

Cool @Sofa
@Viper28 Thanks for the heads-up. tbh the CF.43 design needs some serious revision in terms of aerodynamics. Furthermore, for something designed as a carrier-based fighter, I haven't once managed to successfully land it on a carrier (though I'd attribute that more to my poor piloting skills than the design). I've been playing with different wing designs, as well as a system for flaps and more effective air-brakes.
A little wonky al low speed and twitchy at high speed, may I suggest larger wings. Ith you didn't make them so thin it would probably be fairly manuverable.
Nice
