The Avenger is a 2020s-era close-air-support platform optimised for transonic flight. Even with full armor and payload, this surprisingly small aircraft can still reach supersonic speeds in short bursts.
The forward-swept wing and canard configuration allow for extreme maneuverability and excellent slow-speed handling.
Twin 25mm cannons that unleash 130 rounds per second between them are capable of obliterating the toughest of tanks with disturbing ease.

Oops, just realised the part count is too low. I'm actually surprised I had enough time to make it this far lol @mikoyanster
Well here's my CAS challenge entry. The successor system broke because I uploaded an unlisted version first. I tried and failed to fix it @mikoyanster
