[FSF] P-84A Vitiator
"Vitiator"
Congrats, thanks to the P-84A, you just learned a new word today.
Erm, not exactly, actually...
"Vitiator" isn't a word, but it heavily derives from a real word, that being "vitiate," meaning to "spoil or impair the quality or efficiency of" (source Google Dictionary). This is in fact what the P-84 specializes in. Dual engines give it speed. A strong airframe enables its agility. Its armor is average (which isn't a surprise, since it wouldn't be average if it was rare). But those guns... 38 guns worth of raw firepower. This may seem ridiculous, and it is, but balancing does exist in FSF (unless you're the A2R5), so here's the catch: these guns are each 5mm.
Yep, you don't even get the low 7.62mm caliber on these guns. Each gun on the Vitiator is a solid 5mm. This might seem like a bad thing, but trust me, great fire rate combined with the high performance of the plane and sheer amount of guns will still allow you to shred apart enemies, just a lot more slowly and painfully than you'd get with other fighters.
Trivia
-The Vitiatior is the 7th FSF plane.
-I got the P-84A's nickname by looking up "synonyms of 'destroy,'" because I thought it would be funny for the plane with the lowest gun caliber to have the most intimidating nickname (or at least most intimidating nickname meaning). Either way, it is definitely better than Papercut (what it was named before Vitiator).
-The P-84 sports pods on its wings similar to those one may find on the F4U or F6F, but these aren't radar pods; they're extra ammo. Same case with the reinforcements at the wing root, most of the wings, and the entire front half of the plane. Yeah, this thing is just a flying ammo magazine more so than a fighter plane.
-If any FSF knows something about cutting it close, it's this guy. He almost didn't make it into the FSF Teaser Post (and thus FSF Phase 1), but I finished him and got a screenshot just in time for him to make it into the teaser and arrive with the first wave of his FSF brethren. The MuG-2 and Tracer weren't as lucky though, and will be delayed until Phase 2 (you'll meet them in the Phase 2 teaser).

The last FSF... of Phase 1! See you in FSF: Phase 2!
@TheUltimatePlaneLover ok
@Boeing727200F Both actually:
One of the first Phase 2 planes, the Warhead, features both, sporting guided rockets and 20mm cannons. There's also planes like the Airafang with its 37mm cannons, or the Skirmisher with some pretty good missiles.
@TheUltimatePlaneLover so im guessing EARLY missiles or higher caliber guns?
@LoganAviation Fairly Simple Fighters.
@Boeing727200F Phase 2 is just the second set of FSF aircraft set to be released, as I'll be doing FSF in phases. However, each phase will aim to introduce something new to the table, as well as build on the old.
@CrestelAeronautics Bro I just started FSF and I'm already running outta designations ;-;
@TheAerospacecraftNerd77 If you think this looks a Meteor just wait until Tracer Mk.II comes out lol
@TheUltimatePlaneLover
Hmm…
That does not look like one of these: (clicky)
@TheUltimatePlaneLover what does FSF mean?
Meteor, is that you?
Also what is phase 2
