Savalto Sa. 24
HISTORY:
The Savalto Sa. 24 was a heavy attacker produced by aircraft manufacturer Savalto for a 1979 Cantrini Air Force specification. It was built for anti-ship, as well as CAS purposes and was successfully used for both. The Sa. 24 was mainly used in the 1982 Cantrini War where it sunk most of the enemy’s navy and destroyed 7 of their tank divisions. The Sa. 24 was loved by many Cantrini pilots but would slowly veer to one side when in a steep climb and caused it’s pilot to bail out in a few cases, leaving the plane behind. 3450 Sa. 24s were built, becoming one of Savalto’s most successful aircraft, however the Sa. 24 was retired in 2005 due to being outdated.
ARMAMENT:
The Sa. 24 could carry many armaments but one of the most popular consisted of two 3000 lb. (1360.7 kg.) RM 3000 bombs or “Dexter” as pilots referred to them. The “Dexter” was an anti- ship bomb and could rip through the thickest of armor, once one pilot even remarked, quote “If a dexter ever failed to detonate it would be more dangerous than the enemy.” Every time a “Dexter” was dropped pilots would pull up sharply to avoid being caught in the blast (we recommend you do the same) and while such a thing never happened, it shows the sheer power this bomb held. The Sa. 24 can also carries one LDM 30 AGM, (Air to Ground Missile) which could blow most targets to pieces. The LDM 30 contains a lot of explosives but must be within 1.22 miles (2500 meters) of the target in order to lock on and fire. The last weapons on the Sa. 24 are two LDM 16 AAMs (Air to Air Missiles) which, at the time were the Cantrini Air Force standard. The LDM 16 has a good lock on range and excellent explosive mass but lower-than-average mobility.

@MiGEater No problem
@MiGEater The A-10 warthog might look kind of ugly but it is incredibly effective and the same goes for your plane, also your builds will only get better and better.
This might be my most advanced aircraft and i am very proud of it!
