Auto Credit Based on Geekpride's GP-151 Stroma
To slow this speedy plane, use the air brakes, controlled by the pitch slider. This plane is a fighter / interceptor variant of the Stroma heavy bomber. It keeps the delta-shaped flying wing design and uses the same main wings as the bomber. The rear stabilisers have been redesigned for better stability and to prevent spins. This is amazingly agile at low altitude, able to pull incredibly tight loops, almost spinning on the spot. This does come at a price, the twitchy handling makes it hard to control at high altitude.

@Pilotmario It is, but it reuses a lot of components from the bomber, so construction is easier. It can also out-turn anything else in the sky and easily dodge missiles. Standard combat doctrine is to attempt to engage at long range with missiles. If that fails and the enemy is able to close to gun range, the pilot is to refuse a head-on gun fight and use the plane's agility to evade and re-engage from a more favourable angle. As this is a low-altitude fighter, creative use of low-level flight around terrain features for this purpose is encouraged.
That's VERY big for a fighter.
