Behold

My newest air-superiority fighter to replace the F-33 and possibly F-34, the F-36 Phoenix-Attack.

So, the F-36... I'd like to say what it was built for, but I can't because it's purpose always gets undermined.

So originally, this F-36 was a memorial replica for a model I built myself, dubbed the Phoenix-Attack (well, actually just the Phoenix. Phoenix-Attack is the name of the upgraded variant), as the said plane was presumably lost and/or destroyed. However, much to my happiness, the Phoenix was found.

Here he is, built around a pencil.
Now that he was found, I decided to get serious and make the F-36A a supercharged aircraft to replace to F-33 and F-34. However, this wouldn't work either, as the Falchion is still upgradeable (take for example JSTQ's F-33J) and its A and D variants will now be sold to CrestelAeronautics and MIGFOXHOUND31BSM26. As for the F-34, it still has potential, we just need to give it time.


The F-33A (Falchion) and F-36A (Phoenix-Attack) perform a mock-dogfight prior to the TC-War. Believe me, the F-36A looks quite large in comparison to the F-33A.
Then the F-36A was made to fight in the TC-War, but if the word of the rebels is kept, that won't happen either. The F-36A got some test flights in before the war imploded (oof but lol).

An F-33A, B-8B, and F-36A prepare to take off for war. The B-8B was the only one of these three that actually saw any combat, but it was really just an attack with no opposition.

Taken shortly after, the F-33A broke up from the formation, the F-36A also beginning to fall away because in real life this maneuver would look much cooler.

So... yeah. RiP Phoenix-Attack's purpose, I guess now he just looks cool and flies well.

He has missiles and guns. Do I really need to say anything else?
Yes actually; AG8 for lights.

So... that's it. Here's some cool pics now (I like photography)

A BTA-60 (Enargite VII) lurks by the hangar of the F-36A as he emerges...

The AMX-10M bangs its cannon on the wall in frustration while the F-36A idles after learning the TC-War is over before they got to do anything meaningful.

Beautiful shot of the Phoenix-Attack on the runway as the sun rises over Yeager.

In stark contrast, an ominous shot of the Phoenix-Attack climbing after a nighttime takeoff at Snowstone. Yes, he goes everywhere.
