Here comes the wave (of destruction).

The NFA-26 Tsunami

The NFA-26 Tsunami is as simple as it gets: an air-to-ground airframe that delivers punishment to whoever made the wildly poor decision to live that day. Being able to hold 7,000-7,500 lbs of pain, this aircraft should not be able to take off an aircraft carrier. It does anyways though, which makes me rethink my decision to skip leg day...

Let's look at the interior

(fun fact, this cockpit was given to the watchdog, which is why they're similar)

Do you feel overwhelmed? You shouldn't. This is bare-bones compared to a lot of stuff on this site, but you knew that already. In here, there's a lot of stuff you can do, such as, well, everything you can do in the aircraft. Here's the rundown, top to bottom:

- Working HUD, thanks to PlanariaLab

- All AG group buttons in the correct order

- Ammo screen, main screen, compass, and flap/airbrake

- instruments, gear control switch, and basic interior lighting

- Individual engine control, targeting buttons, throttle cutoff, parking brake, hook/catapult control, and vertical/horizontal trim

- (below trim) pylon control

- Throttle, joystick, brake/airbrake/landing-gear controls

- (below brake/lg control) comms. No, it doesn't work.

That's everything in the cockpit, now, let's get to the fun stuff.

The fun stuff (weapons)

The BMB-26 "Hammer"

Maybe I should've called it the whale or something. This bad boy clocks in at 2,091lbs and holds serious chaos inside its sheet-metal tomb. Using shifting fins after detachment, it spins to increase linear accuracy. If you want to handle less like a boat, maybe take these off before flight.

The MSL-15 "Sheriff"

Like an Inferno, but it stings more. This has very similar characteristics to your run-of-the-mill Hellfire missile, except it REALLY hurts. Not what you want going through your truck's windshield on a Tuesday afternoon. Say, what did you do to get targeted like that anyways?

The RKT-29 "Punisher"

When 7 rockets aren't enough, 11 might do it. They also fire fast, so watch your ammo. I recommend dropping these after use to reduce drag.

2-set of Infernos

What's not to love about these truck-deleting boomsticks?

The MSL-23 "Pouncer"

Truly a fine missile. Great maneuverability mixed in with an active radar-guided missile equals (almost) certain doom. They can act a little wacky sometimes though, so it's best you avoid dogfights.

A knockoff M61

If you failed to avoid a dogfight, and the missiles didn't cut it, remove the adversary's foreskin with tooth and nail. This gun fires at an unrealistic 100RPS (rounds per second) so they won't be escaping your man-made laser of death.

The big one

That's right. The 100mm gun. If you managed to run out of literally over 7,000 lbs of ordinance, you still have 200 rounds of pain to give you the time to think about how you wasted $1,000,000 in taxpayer dollars. I did my math, it's actually over $1,000,000 dollars. Inflation, am I right?

I almost forgot to mention the fact that this plane does all things carrier operations. Checkmate, Su-25. There's not much to cover on carrier operations, as I'm sure you taught Maverick how to fly or something. I trust you! There are a few things I should mention, however.

- When landing, the hook does NOT like to do it's job, so hold your Angle of Attack around 10-13 to ensure connection. This airframe hates landing, so it's okay to take an attempt or two, or three, or sixteen.

- Make sure your engines are actually enabled before launching. Trust me, it can happen.

- When launching, give a few seconds for the engines to spool up instead of instant launch. This mainly applies for full loads, like what's on the aircraft on download.

- Keep your AoA below 15. This aircraft wasn't meant to be THAT athletic, so it generally avoids doing its job. I'm sure you understand the feeling.

- The shocks are stiff, and the brakes lowkey suck. She didn't come with Brembo brakes (even if she should've), so just keep that in mind.

I believe that's about everything. I've had this aircraft for some time and thought I should upload it. Even though it won't get much attention, I'm still happy that I made it. Please, enjoy.
