Welp, this is my fourth entry into the same challenge, WE BETTER WIN THIS ONE! Anyway, this is a delta-wing, single engine, multi-role fighter that is designed to be operated from land bases. Because it's a relatively small fighter with nothing too ambitious about its design, it should be fairly cheap to produce, and thus we should have plenty of them for the war effort.

Controls:
Ag1-Drop Fuel Tank
Ag2-Master Arm
Ag8-Activate Engine (on by default)
Control Stick-(Trigger=Fire guns, Button 1=Fire Weapons, Button 2=Launch countermeasures)
Trim-Trim

Like with my previous builds, it has enough hardpoints to where it can be suited to different missions depending on its loadout. The current loadout is its multirole configuration, but I may post other loadouts sometime in the future as unlisted builds with links to them.

Current Loadout:
2xADRA-M Missiles
4xGBU-112 bombs
2xGuardian Missiles
4xJT-12UR Missiles
1xMinigun

    Yeah, I didn't even remember that post if I'm being honest. More than anything I was trying to make a remastered version of this post for the challenge.

    I see it as being closer to an F-16xl if I'm being honest, but I can see some resemblance to what you're talking about.

    I'm honestly not sure if I'll make another plane for this challenge. This 4th submission ties my record for most submissions into a challenge, the other being my 4 submissions into the War Challenge II hosted by the same user.
