Alternate History: The LaC.55 Leviathan was a multi-purpose fighter used from 1941 to 1957 in the Imperial Ciorian Air Force. The plane saw extensive usage in both standard missions, usually in Europe, and special operations in Asia and Africa from 1941 when it was introduced, all the way until the end of the Third World War in 1951. It was then thrown straight into another bloody war, the Ciorian Civil War, and used up until the middle of the war, when it was replaced with the LaC.63 (an upcoming build) in 1957.

About This Model: This particular model of Leviathan is the LaC.55-D, used from 1943 to 1946. It was a long-distance interceptor, but was also used as a bomber escort. This, however, became increasingly less common as the usage of bombers decreased with the invention of long-range rockets and missiles. The LaC.55-D was also converted into a fighter-bomber on multiple occasions during the Raid of Tunisia, when they where used to seek out and destroy attacking tanks and other armoires ground targets. The interceptor variant was equipped with four 50-cal MGs and one 20mm auto-cannon, located in the spinner. It also had an enlarged belly to accommodate a larger fuel tank. The fighter-bomber variant retained the 20mm as well as the two feuselauge mointed MGs, but the Ming-mounted MGs where removed to accommodate a heavier wing load. The wings each carried one 250lb bomb and four rockets. The enlarged fuel tank was taken out and replaced with a standard size tank. Where the bulge once was was added a mount for a 500lb bomb.

Instructions: AG1 to start engine. AG2 for lights. Rest is normal. And tips on taking off, I would throttle up to like, 50% only. Make sure to rudder. It has a serious p-effect.
