Improved version of QAAM with all-around lock on capabilities but with limited range

=> CWS11 - HVAA (High Velocity Air-Air Missile)
High-speed air-to-air missiles that make mincemeat of slow-witted targets. Their ability to travel long distances makes them ideal for surprise attacks.

=> Prism's Inferno Missile Pod (Credits: @KaiserTheKeyboard)
The cutting-edge and compact design of this weapon can save enough space for your plane loadout.

=> Arresting Hook
Optimized for carrier landing.

=> Weapon Bay
Equipped with weapon bay for internal loadout and compact design.

=> Reverse Thrust
This aircraft equipped with reverse thrust, increasing its braking performance.

=> Gyroscope

=> Thrust Vectoring
Equipped with thrust vectoring nozzle, this will improve the aircraft agility significantly and can shorten the take-off speed.

=> Post-Stall Maneuver
This aircraft can perform Advance maneuver such as Pugachev's Cobra or even kulbit due to its thrust vectoring nozzle. Speed to perform Super-Maneuver : (lmao just be carefull when pressing 4)

=> 360 Lock-On System
Equipped with cutting edge technology, this allow the aircraft to target enemy plane behind her.
