Shrike

3,030 geek1love  2.4 years ago

The Shrike is everything you want in a dog fighter: sharp maneuverability, adequate power, and multiple offensive options.

Weapons:
8x Guardians
2x Interceptors
4x wing guns

Controls:
1 - lights
2 - gyro
3-6 - N/A
7 - drop missiles
8 - deactivate missiles

Tips: The Shrike is susceptible to unrecoverable flat spin in a stall. Gain airspeed before any significant roll input when stalled. Gyro can cause sudden, undesirable roll when aircraft is inverted. Deactivate the gyro for greater maneuverability.

Production notes: This plane is among the first I created in SP. I've decided to upload many of my older planes in case anyone finds them useful.

Have fun!
