(1-4) ejects external stores. (5) activates afterburner. Flaps actuated by VTOL.

"Our commander told us not to tell others about the presence of the Viper on the continent to prevent loss of morale. Having flown in a Viper during a visit to Paternia, I know why."
-Lt. Frederick von Steuben, Jagdstaffel 15, Prussian Air Force

The Bandit F-7C/ER Viper is a 4.5-gen fighter aircraft designed by Bandit Aerospace. The base F-7C features the improved AN/APG-78 phased array radar as well as revised canopy and improved aerodynamics.

This particular Viper is in service with the African Union Air Force for air defense, and is fitted with conformal fuel tanks. The introduction of the type represented a substantial upgrade in capabilities over previous types, such as captured CAF aircraft or the A-8 Hawk II light strike fighter, a Paternian derivative of the Viper Industries Vi-FA-200 Hawk.

The F-7C Viper gave the African Union an aircraft that can challenge Prussian, Awwami, or CAF loyalist air superiority. While the Viper is more than capable of striking targets deep behind enemy air defenses, few such strikes were carried out due to the high risk, small operational fleet, and priority given to air defense and interception duties.

    Well, I was initially a decentralized insurgent movement with very wide support. There was no fixed command structure between the various battalion-sized forces.

    Thus, your Army could not deal with them effectively, since they were accustomed to the very heavy centralization of GLA forces. Taking out leaders had little effect on the AU.

    By the later stages where the AU forces became more centralized, they have already begun to employ more conventional tactics. @PyrusEnderhunter

    You have good generals, I'll give you that. But I also had good generals who were well experienced in counter-terrorism with fighting the GLA (yes, they were completely destroyed by air strikes).

    @Pilotmario Better typist? You literally just said "I have half of Africa now" after like 10 seconds of the conflict. You had to push through thousands upon thousands of units, reinforced by offshore bombardment, artillery, air strikes, and arguably the best tanks in the world. Sure, you took the first shot, but it would take a lot more than some makeshift SPGs, along with Abrams and F-16 rip-offs.

    @PyrusEnderhunter Not my problem that you didn't authorize anyone to take your spot in your absence, so the decay rule settled in.

    @PyrusEnderhunter Not really.

    We'll just be selling guns and maybe getting into fights when we get bored.

    Paternia will remain as the Paternian Conglomerate, a merger of all major Paternian industrial groups, including but not limited to Paternian Defense Industries, Bandit, KRIEG, Dragon, Carlton Firearms, Rocker Armaments, Tesla Electronics, Temco Systems, and the Detroit Arsenal. @PyrusEnderhunter

    Well, at least next season there won't be a Paternia (land of the plot armor, home of the bias).

    Standard takeoff procedure is 50% flaps, full throttle, and elevators up fully. @marcox43
