FOREWARD: This is a refinement of an earlier post, the A-74
Despite being designated as a fighter, the F-45A is an attacker operated by the Accilian navy. When the Accilian Navy unveiled their new carriers, the Navy High Command requested the Accilian Air Force to contract a company to build a naval attacker for their fleets. Only accustomed to building fighters, Cyclone Aerospace and Phoenix Industries decided to combine efforts to research this new aircraft. At first, the design process was riddled with conflicting ideas between the two companies. although eventually, a consensus was made and development continued.
Two of the three prototype aircraft crashed due to a flaw in the wing design. The way the wings were designed made the aircraft extremely hard to control in a pitch, so the pilot had to be committed to his maneuver. Unfortunately, this flaw was never really solved, and pilots were trained extra carefully in this area. considering that it was not fighting enemy aircraft, it was not as big an issue.
However, at the same time as this fighter was being developed, the SC-32 was in its stages of design, and parts shortages raged across Accilia. This made engine research and design very difficult, and the result was the initial batch of production aircraft being issued with lower quality engines.
In it’s early stages of design and testing it was known as the A-74 Vorpal, and at that stage it had extremely poor handling and weight. The plane also had no weapons or even provisions for said weapons. Now, however, the F-45 is armed with 2 Sparrows, 4 AMRAAMs, and 4 Hellfires

CONTROLS:
AG1: AMRAAMs
AG2: Hellfires
AG5: nosewheel steering

NOTE: This plane has NO countermeasures!
