HF-322B Nighthawk Close Air Support
In response to a competition for Close Air Support aircraft, Flame Crafted Engineering refitted the popular HF-322 Heavy Fighter to perform CAS roles. With 2, more powerful inlet mounted cannons compensating for reduced firepower from wing mounted guns as well as more AtG focused HE weaponry, this beast is a demoralizer for any ground troops going against it.
