Lore

The F-24 is an upgraded version of the H-MAF-2 used by Vietnam and the Philippine Air force.

The H-MAF-2 was an early production fighter with some performance limitations. Only 38 units were deployed in Vietnam and the Philippines due to the need for fighter jets in the South China Sea disputes.

The F-24 is a redesigned version of the H-MAF that led to mass production.

In April 2047, the F-24 joined the Royal Thai Air Force (RTAF) under the name of F-24 (24th fighter type in RTAF), two years after the H-MAF-2 was introduced. However, no test flight data is available for this model. By 2055, a total of 87 F-24.

F-24 didn't have an official name, but it is often called the "tailwind" by its pilots and crews, that came from aircraft mobilities.
