BACKSTORY: The ESI-174 was a secret Soviet interceptor. This is the AG (Anti-Ground) Varient. ESI Stands for Emergency Supersonic Interceptor. Made in 1988, the prototype XEI-1, was not succesful. Its inlets were made of 2mm aluminium sheild and a thin rod of copper, so the fan in the inlet was hit by a bullet in an AI Dogfight Test and it cut the sheild and broke a major support point busting the wing off and ultimatley destroying the engine. Other promblems began to emerge with this varient. The front landing gear would fail constantly. This is when this plane was developed. With inspiration from the F-104, the supersonic XEI was developed. CONTROL: Normal Flight controls | Ag1 is Parachute, Ag2 is Navigator Lights
