The Zweihander is the Blessed Germanic Empire's standard long-range strike aircraft. A polivalent design with night fighter, interceptor and recon variants, it can be seen in many ways as a companion to the Spiess bomber, as it was originally made to soften up defenses for said bombers to get through more easily.
Currently, it's losing ground to the Dussack, which at a cheaper cost can do many of the same jobs; but the Zweihander's speed and range still allows it to find plenty of use. The aircraft depicted here is a strike aircraft, armed with the typical complement of 4 20 mm cannons and a 30 mm gun, as well as an internal and external payload.
