The XM-12C is a carrier-based version of the original XM-12 and XM-12B. The aircraft features a full removal of A-G ordinance, with the only thing staying being the Lead Venom cannon. It also features a strengthened nose gear, to cope with the mechanical stress of halting a rapidly descending aircraft. For some reason, this aircraft is just as popular with the Wright Isles Navy as the just as carrier-capable XM-12 VTOL. Finally, it has an ejector seat, with a tub to allow more room than the standard ejector. This tech is currently planned on being implemented into the A and B models.

AG's 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8 are Arresting Hook, fold wings, drop payload, eject, Gyroscope, Landing Lights, and Nav Lights respectively.
