VTOL controls wing sweep. (1-5) discharges parachute bombs. (6) discharges missiles. (7) deploys landing parachute. My take on the classic Hellkeska which graces every SimplePlanes hangar as a dust magnet. It was reimagined as a low-level high-speed penetrator, designed to deliver highly damaging payloads, such as nuclear weapons, deep into enemy territory through speed and careful use of terrain. Fast and powerfully-armed, the aircraft has been given aerodynamic refinements as well as newer, more powerful, and more fuel-efficient engines. It also features integrated electronic warfare equipment. Pylons were mounted on the outer wings, and will move with the pitch of the wings so as to always point forward. The swept-wing design allows it high maneuverability at lower speeds and high stability at high speeds. To reduce the machine's long landing requirements, it has been fitted with a drag chute for landings. A-9s have yet to be tested in battle, but will fill a niche in the wide-ranging requirements of the Paternian Air Force.

I tried this loved it but it fell short against my 86y and 86x and the hydra by a long shot@Pilotmario
@FlipposMC
@Pilotmario Np!
@Gmanndo1000 Thanks!
nice!
Cheap . . . @Pilotmario
@PINK P$4.8 million.
No, new build? @Pilotmario
@PINK Idk, P$1.2 Million per conversion?
@Pilotmario How much money would one of these cost . . . ?

Here's our list . . .
If we wanted to blow up a column of tanks firing on our position, we would use a Rancor.
If we wanted to blow up a column of tanks, we'd use a Rancor.
If we wanted to blow up a column of tanks defended by fighters and advanced air defenses, we'd use FL-22B or FL-27 . . .
The Hellkeska and the Pummeler are two very different kinds of attack aircraft.
The Pummeler was designed for tactical support of ground forces and survive on its maneuverability and durability.
The Hellkeska is designed to strike heavily defended areas and survive on its speed and electronics.
If we wanted to blow up a column of tanks firing on our position, we would use a Pummeler.
If we wanted to blow up a column of tanks, we'd use a Pummeler.
If we wanted to blow up a column of tanks defended by fighters and advanced air defenses, we'd use A-4B Cobra and A-8 Hawk II.
If we wanted to blow up those tanks in a heavily defended depot a hundred miles behind the shooting, we'd use this. @DankDorito
@Pilotmario
Is this as effective as the pummeler in ground attack?
@Liquidfox Thanks!
@Liquidfox I suppose.
However, I just did this out of more of a "why not try this?" sort of thing.
@Liquidfox Managed to disable the base mesh (so it would resemble an unpowered rotator) and then XML'd it via FineTuner mod to make it wide and flat. Then I stuck it to a fuselage piece made to fit more or less flush with the wings, and then stuck a standard three-spot pylon on it.
@WeeBabySeamus Would love to know what you think about my upgrade. Also, tag the other devs, because I would like their opinion too.
spoopay.. by da way, did u is check out the b-300? It has goku afterburners.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation lol
@Pilotmario o.o yrs.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation By a few, do you mean almost doubling the parts count?
Lmao all you did was add a few parts and slap on the Paternian Badge 😂
