In 2020, S. Corp decided to upgrade its newest fighter

It had its engines upgraded to B-189 afterburning turbofans. Also, its gatlings were upgraded to 30 mm and had an increased rate of fire. Two bombs were replaced by cruise missiles. And finally, the landing gear was improved to make the plane more stable on the ground.

How to use:
Weapons
Activation Group 1 = missiles and bay doors
Activation Group 2 = bombs and bay doors
Activation Group 7 = carpet bombing
Countermeasures as usual

Flight:
The usual controls
VTOL down for flaps and variable incidence wings
VTOL up for afterburners
Landing gear as usual
Activation Group 3 = carrier hooks

Special instructions:
When landing, try to keep your airspeed at or above 195 mph. Otherwise, the plane will stall and drop out of the sky relatively quickly (those variable incidence wings are powerful airbrakes). Unless you happen to have lots of altitude, you'll probably impact hard on some other surface than runway.
