This is for "[Ace Combat]Erusea Challenge!" by FranzPeterSiegfried

Backstory

"The Kingdom of Erusea requested for a heavy fighter jet that can replace their FA-18EX AGILE hornets and X-02S Strike Wyvern to beat the RF-44S Super Angelcat of the Osea Federation and the ADFX-01 Morgan by the Belka Empire."

Description

The Seventh Experimental Fighter Project codenamed "Night Moth". Heavy fighter proposed to Erusea Air and Space Administration to compete against cutting-edge fighters from other nation, adapting the latest experimental drone "Raven" the aircraft has two body that can be separated in mid-flight to increase survivability.

Separation Process
Ejecting from main wings

Extending secondary wings

Completely discarded main wings

20 possible hardpoint attachment, and equipped with excellent Air-Air configuration, able to strike down enemy from close, medium, and long range.
The main body can travel really fast but doesn't have any guided armament, but it is intended to do so to survive, it is best to avoid engagement if the main body already discarded its wing.

Will EASA accept this design ?

Technology & Wildcards

=> CWS6 - AQAAM
Improved version of QAAM with all-around lock on capabilities but with limited range.

=> Airferno Missile
Modified Inferno missile that lock on to air target instead of ground target, deal heavy damage but lacks on homing capability.

=> CWS10 - TLS (Tactical Laser System)
High-power tactical laser capable of dealing significant damage to both land and air targets.

=> CWS11 - HVAA (High Velocity Air-Air Missile)
High-speed air-to-air missiles that make mincemeat of slow-witted targets. Their ability to travel long distances makes them ideal for surprise attacks.

=> "Red Sylph" PLMG (@User1)
A powerful Pulse Laser machine gun from Super Sylph jet fighter, the red light trace and extreme fire rate are intimidating, it says that an entire carrier strike fleet are no match for this gun.

=> Weapon Bay
Equipped with weapon bay for internal loadout and compact design.

=> Reverse Thrust
This aircraft equipped with reverse thrust, increasing its braking performance.

=> Thrust Vectoring
Equipped with thrust vectoring nozzle, this will improve the aircraft agility significantly and can shorten the take-off speed.

=> Post-Stall Maneuver
This aircraft can perform Post-Stall maneuver such as Pugachev's Cobra or even kulbit due to its thrust vectoring nozzle. Speed to perform Post-Stall Maneuver : 250 mph (with Thrust Vector Active and full throttle)

=> Discarding Wings
The aircraft can discard its main wings to increase survivability, the main body have faster speed but sacrifice both agility and stability.

Controls

Fictional and sci-fi looking planes are not really my thing but ill give it a shot, its a fun challenge tbh Xd.
