M.W. 430 Mk.5C Patrol/Support Fighter
Tweaks, Improvements and optimizations throughout.
INFO: This is my second entry for the desert challenge The M.W. 430 Patrol fighter is a main-frame aircraft designed to destroy ground and sea targets alike. This is not really a fighter, but more of an attacker. It can fly against fighters, though. Enjoy, modifications below. Fixes at the bottom of desc.
