F-17A "Ripper"

27.8k IAmSteve  one month ago
Auto Credit Based on IAmSteve's F-17

Intro

My most realistic build yet! With it pulling about 9.5 Gs with no drop tanks and at Mach 0.87, has wing flex and stuff too! Also, I would like to thank all the early access testers for their suggestions too! The suggestions I didn't use I will use in the F-17AX.


Lore

In 1977, Northrup and Lockheed made a fighter to go against the F-15, and entered service to work with the F-15, due to its fuselage design, it gained the name "HotDog." The F-17 is still used today and is being upgraded, the F-17AX is the newest variant, which entered service in 2022.
(Not alot, I know.)

AG2: Jettison missiles

    Gotta give Peter Sellers credit, he made it extremely uncomfortable to watch Dr. Strangelove himself... exist.

    @Graingy ahh, I've heard of that movie. It's ending is really messed up. But I haven't watched the full thing yet.

    @MosquitowithaMachineGun The best character in Dr. Strangelove, a very British man politely trying to be the voice of reason to the insane (and fluid-obsessed) General Ripper.
