Short History: The KFZ-49 was designed to phase out the outdated KFZ-45 as the country of Nexunia knew that it will be outclassed by aircrafts of foreign countries. The KFZ-49 was designed in October 19,2015 and was introduced into the Nexunia Air Force in September 27, 2022. In April 20, 2023 the NAF had 8 KFZ-49s and all of them was assigned to the elite pilots (all of them was previously assigned to the KFZ-45), changing the squadron name from Ace of spades to Black thunder, and their new callsigns are now Blitz 1 up to Blitz 8. The KFZ-49 is a much more agile, faster, and able to carry more payload than the KFZ-45. The 49 can be clearly distinguished by its forward-swept wing design which made the aircraft look futuristic in the eyes of the Nexunian populace.

Armaments:
6 XS-023 Missiles (Missile bay)
6 XS-023 Missiles (Wing pylons)
1 20 mm Opus Type 12 rotary gun

Controls: VTOL for flaps, Trim for... well, trim.

Designer's Description:
Hello, pilots! I am back after three months of no internet and now here to give you a new aircraft. :D A short fun fact, this was what I initially wanted the KFZ-45 would look like but because I haven't figured out how to make the body wider. You may or not have noticed it but I tried to make this aircraft to have fuselage wings to make it look more slick-ish and smooth, I still have not mastered the art of wing fuselages but I will try my best to implement wing fuselages in my future builds from now on. Also you can change the missiles on the wings if you want to. :) Also, it may be only me but this aircraft looks familiar and I can't pin down which specific aircraft it is. Also, there will be an upcoming aircraft that will have an almost identical design to this one but it will have a special surprise but I will tell you that when I am done with it. :)))

Note: This is an “””improved””” (Not) version of the past aircraft since I forgot to rename the missiles and fixed the wings, I just did JamesPLANES’s approach on fuselage wings which is simpler to make and has less parts.
