This is a modified version of Homemade1’s EF-18D Viper. I made it a single-seat fighter as opposed to the two-seated D version. I also added flotation devices to the plane to make it more feasable for Carrier Ops. I added nine additional hardpoints for additional armaments. I recommend leaving the super heavy weapons like Cleavers and extra fuel tanks to the fuselage hardpoint. The inboard wing hardpoints can carry weapons up to Boom 50, while I would leave the outboard hardpoints for Interceptors and lighter weapons. The Guardians on the wingtips and the gun are XML modded, while the Interceptors are not. Huge thanks to Homemade1 for the base aircraft.

I would also really recommend jettisoning your weapons before landing on USS Beast or any other carrier
@Homemade1
I didn’t think of that, but I guess they could use the jettison if they need to do a belly landing.
The only reason i didnt put hardpoint on there cuz the weapon will be hit the ground if the pilot do hard landing or belly landing, did you think of that?
