(sorry in advance for long description)

BACKGROUND:

the third of the "Blueprint Aircraft". I actually thought I wasn't going to recreate this one but I finally decided to do it. this was originally designed as a long range ICBM but changed during development to carry out precision rocket strikes. This version is more modernized than the original and features XML modded interceptors to have very short lock times and XML modded flares to be basically infinite. it features landing gear to use for takeoff and landing similar to a conventional aircraft but it is very delicate.

CONTROLS:

AG-6 activates the dive chutes and AG-7 activates the drag chute (for landing).

DIVE MODE:

"What dive?" I hear you asking. the aircraft is designed to fly high above it's target and when you are directly on top of the target cut engines and use AG-6 to deploy dive chutes. this will almost instantly stop the aircraft and put it into a slow dive.once in this dive, use pitch and roll (use it heavily; the aircraft is going so slow that simply rolling might take a while. maxing throttle makes this a but easier but makes your descent and strike time shorter) to aim at the target (cockpit view highly recommended) then start firing rockets. when you are done or when you start getting too close to the ground max throttle (if you haven't already) and deactivate AG-6 then pitch out of the dive.

Sorry for long description but it's kinda hard to explain. Enjoy.
