Strikeblade

This strike aircraft is certainly weird...

Well, I put an inverted-gull wing on a 4th gen attack aircraft. I also gave it six 30mm cannons, two 37mm cannons, and four 20mm machine guns. And two engines so it can go pretty dang fast. Why?

Of course, to beat the Reformists!

Granted, it can't turn as well as pretty much any fighter operating in the M-War II, but on the opposite end of the spectrum, it can outrun pretty much any fighter operating in the M-War II. It can also out-gun virtually everyone in the sky with its hefty armament (especially considering I included neither missiles nor the full pylon capacity). Really only the A-40D has it bested in speed and armament, but we'll only sea one of them playing a naval support role. And guess what?

This is just the first, flawed, and frankly rushed version of the FA-34. As development goes on, it'll keep getting better!

Controls

-AG1 activates the airbrake
-AG3 activates all pylons
-AG5 activates the time-delayed bomb

CAUTIONS:

-The Strikeblade is too heavy for its landing gear. I'll fix this on later variants, but don't attempt hard/carrier landings.
-The FA-34A also has a tough time taking off. Turn steadily to counter any forces if needed, or use airspawn.

Happy hunting!
