the RE-4? Well, turns out he had a son (more accurately a grandson- the son would be the RE-5, which I haven't made yet). The RE-6 is quite similar to the RE-4 in some aspects, but also different in several others. For example, It still uses 30mm cannons, but that's really the only similarity in armament. The RE-6 has three 30mm cannons which fire quickbursts, and four 100 lbs bombs attached to its hardpoints, while the RE-4 has four 30mm cannons which each fire a single shot. The RE-6 is also faster, and has much better roll control compared to the RE-4, but it doesn't turn as well and its roll is still a bit unstable. Other than that though, not much too new about the RE-6.

Trivia

-The RE-6 doesn't have a heads-up display, but rather a unique reticle.
-One could dub the Collider better than the Brawler; the former has more cannons, faster fire rate, and better turning.
-The RE-series planes are German.
-Accidents sometimes lead to masterpieces, and this is an example of that: the RE-6's wing was supposed to be fully swept at a shallow angle, which is quite conventional for its time, but an accident when forming the second half of the wing resulted in the shape we have now, because I thought this looked cooler.
