Development: As the war had started to come to an end, so did much of the development of new air and ground vehicles. One of the last planes made for the war was the AA-21 also known as the "Super Shark". The thought process for this was quite innovative, but a little early because it could not be perfectly executed with the available technology. They basically just put two A-16's together and added a few things. One such thing was armament. It has um... idk maybe 7-11 guns in the middle and two ground target cannons on the outside of them making this one of the most devastating planes during the Second Global War. Underneath the plane there are two 500lb bombs, four 250lb bombs, 8 rockets, and an experimental cannon pod that was the only one of its kind. Because of how late this had joined the war, there were only about 5 completely produced, with 2 of them being armed for sea targets, 2 being armed for multi-role purposes (air-to-ground/air-to-air once bombs and other things were used), and one used for experimental weaponry used in air-to-air combat.

History: During the war, this plane was one of the most devastating ones, even though it was released during the end of the war. After the war, everyone realized how stupid the whole idea of this heavy fighter was and had realized how lucky they got when only two out of the five models produced were shot down during combat, those being both used for sea combat. However later down the line, it was used again when another war broke out, however it was not as effective as the new planes that had been developed by that time.

Max speed: about 400-425 at most (when armament has been disposed of [not including the cannon pod tho

idk why everything had to be a "Shark" but it worked so whatever. serious note though, if you use it then if you use chase view it will be WAAAAYY more accurate, but if you use pilot view then good luck hitting much most of the time, it works but not very well and when it does then the other plane is always just bye bye.
