Big thanks to @Cplgocho and @Sheeper for tips on the landing gear!

After many weeks of development, I am extremely happy to introduce the all new A/F-17 Guarder. Originally designed as a heavy fighter, it's potential as a dual-role attack-fighter was realized, and all production was focused on models that could carry out both tasks (Based off the F-16 and Su-34). Granted, the fighter aspect has been downgraded since then, but the capabilities are still numerous. Equipped with two heavy ATA missiles and a high-tech minigun, you'll be certain to take down any air target you encounter! It is also equipped with 2 more heavy ATG missiles designed for both naval forces and other ground forces in mind, plus 18 rockets fired from a custom, lightweight launcher.

OTHER FEATURES

-Highly detailed cockpit
-Over 100 flares for ATG and ATA use
-Custom engine (with interior detail and extra exhaust ports)
-Custom control surfaces--including flaps
-Unique pentagonal fuselage shape

INSTRUCTIONS

-Normal SP Controls
-Pull trim all the way down for stable flight
-AG1 for lights
-AG2 for drop-tanks

BACKSTORY

In 2005, the RAF commissioned P.Corp (formerly Phoztek Incorperated) into developing a cheap heavy fighter to escort bombers and carry out other missions after the escort was over. After some performance setbacks, P.Corp realized the jet would be much more useful as an attack and fighter role aircraft. After lots of convincing, the RAF allowed P.Corp to continue developing their airplane and gave the heavy fighter commission to Boeing Aviation. In 2018, testing had finally finished and mass-production of the Guarder had begun. The RAF quickly realized the economical implications of the Guarder and began putting it up for sale to other countries. Soon, it became widespread in the UK and Europe. The U.S. airforce began buying some to help in Chinese trade wars (ahem) and from there it became a famous (or infamous, depending on perspective) P.Corp airplane that would be in service for decades to come, starring in air shows and movies.

I am insanely proud of this plane. It is definitely my best aircraft I have made. Feedback--as always--is supported and encouraged.

Enjoy!
