The Saltwater Carrier Air Force

37.9k Typhoon03  5.1 years ago

This is a break-down of our Air Force, for your entertainment.

F-52 Juggernaut: The Juggernauts are the air superiority fighters and interceptors of the fleet. They have a highly stealthy tail-less delta configuration with provides fantastic manoeuvrablity, speed and some "interesting" yaw characteristics. The pilots of F-52s are considered heroes in the eyes of the civilian population because of their exploits defending the fleet.

F-112 Destroyer: These aircraft are the backbone of the strike group. Slow and lumbering, the bombers have only ever managed two kills in their 6 years of service, but have proved incredibly effective against ships and military installations alike. Pilots like the Destroyer for its strength and load-carrying capacity.

Dark Arrow: When there's overwhelming numbers of enemy forces this is the strike fighter the Saltwater Carrier Nation calls on to level the playing field. Combining high speed, outstanding manoeuvrablity and huge firepower no operation carried out by this aircraft has ever failed. The pilots of this aircraft are considered the elite of the strike force.

MV-22 Osprey: The Saltwater Carrier Nation relies on the MV-22s to keep the population supplied with food, stores and weapons. These hard-working aircraft have been making the same trips between port and ship for over 4 years and are respected by the people of the Nation thanks to their direct impact on the population.

S-3 Viking: Without these aircraft the fleet would be at the mercy of the Algorithm submarines and torpedo boats. Bought second-hand from the United States Navy and extensively modified the Vikings were among the first aircraft bought by CENSOREDNAME from his fledgling country. They provide 24 hour coverage of the sea surrounding the Nation, in all weather and at Christmas.

AW101 Merlin: These choppers are among the busiest aircraft on the carriers, flying supplies and passengers, searching for submarines, capturing rogue ships, dropping special forces into battle and going on SAR missions.

AW101 Merlin AWACS: When a Merlin is fitted with a search radar it becomes the Merlin AWACS. These craft are tasked with searching for enemy aircraft and cruise missiles beyond the horizon. They are responsible for spotting many an air raid before it starts.

Avro RJ: The RJs carry wounded and exports to shore and supplies and tourists to the Carrier Nation. Without the Avro RJs our tourist industry would be dead, probably meaning our country would be too. 25 have been in service for a number of years and 5 more are being purchased.

Raython Sentinel: Surveillance of ground forces is the task of this aircraft, which works closely with the Saltwater Marine Corps. In their secondary maritime patrol role they have been instrumental in several battles and are in the process of being upgraded for the next decade of service.

Blackburn Buccaneer: An ancient old bomber that still won't die. Updated with new avionics and engines the Buccs provide a very-low-level strike capability for the Saltwater Carrier Nation. They remain effective in combat against even the most cutting edge opponents, despite being designed and built almost 60 years ago.

Lynx Wildcat: These choppers provide battlefield mobility for our ground forces. 10 are currently in service.

AW109: The 109 is our dedicated SAR aircraft and executive transport. They have been in service for almost 5 years now.

IAI Kfir: This aircraft carries out air superiority, precision strike and recon missions and has a top speed of Mach 2. These aircraft are used for the most difficult of targets.

FP-2B: A biplane interdictor aircraft. It uses its low speed and altitude to evade enemy aircraft and strike its targets without warning.

    @marcox43 No, it's not a plane of mine. Here's a link:

    @TheFantasticTyphoon I meant, I can't find the F-52 on your profile, unless I overlooked...

    @marcox43 I'm not sure what you mean by how can I test the F-52 Juggernaut. There is now an improved Dark Arrow with missile capability.

    how can I test the F-52 Juggernaut? the Dark arrow is giving me some serious headaches at close range, but it's vulnerable to interceptors at long range

    I recommend putting (Roleplay) in the title so the mods and non-rp’ers don’t start having seizures in the comment section. I’m not against you or anything.
