A-24B Mulefoot (Night)
The A-24B Mulefoot is a 2 engine, 2 pilot, CAS(Close-Air-Support) aircraft created for the sole purpose of destroying ground targets. Armed with both air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles, regular “dumb” bombs, and a rocket propelled “Smart” bomb, the Mulefoot can strike any target you lock onto. If that isn’t enough destruction for you, the A-24 is also equipped with a 100 millimeter Gatling-style auto canon with high-explosive rounds, nicknamed the “Eraser”. Beware, the recoil of the “Eraser” can and will cancel-out you velocity if not fired in controlled bursts. With a dark paint job, this aircraft is perfect for striking targets at night.

It is recommended to have full flaps and trim and 75% throttle for take off. Due to the offset front landing gear, when rolling down the runway during takeoff the aircraft likes to turn to the right. To counteract this, just slightly yaw left until you are going straight. To jettison your armaments during an emergency, enter the cockpit view, press and hold the “Jett. WPN” button for 3+ seconds.
