Armament

  • Guardians: 4
  • Interceptors: 2
  • Trident anti-ship missile: 2
  • Boom 25: 6
  • Boom 50 3

Specs

  • Top Speed: ~870+ mph
  • Max Altitude: ~40000-45000 ft
  • Minimum range: 480 mi (100% throttle, fully loaded)

Notes

  • The aircraft rolls to the right very slightly. I'm not entirely sure why, I think it's just the airframe or something.

  • This aircraft is good at pulling high alphas (and staying stable most of the time), and can do the cobra maneuver.


I've been working on this plane for a bit now, glad of how it turned out

I have a plane and a troop carrier type vehicle in the works, I'll probably post a build update at some time in the next month.

Happy flying!
