Auto Credit Based on Panzerfausst's ELCAS-2 Mk.III

PLEASE READ THE NOTE SECTION BEFORE DOWNLOADING

Light Close Air Support 2 is the pinnacle of Valkyria Company technologies, it incorporate the know-how from ELCAS-1 (now LCAS-1 "Carinth"), all previous prototypes of ELCAS-2 and even our LAT-Family technologies to pour it all in these single-engine-prop aircraft. It finally enter it's production line after 8 prototypes built and tested in all possible conditions, it is the proud of Valkyria Company for now. It enables a nimble, agile and stable CAS plane. After fixing the major flaw design in various prototype versions, it transform this air-worthy version to a whole new beast at a whole new level. Outfitted with a whole new engine, it can now reach up to 610 mph. While the definition of subsonic planes is the one with speed less than 609 mph, this plane is our first transonic plane. It’s ability to carried by carrier is improved by the ability fold it wings to save space in cramped carrier hangar, folding wing didn’t only save space but also means pilots can change wings dihedral rate at virtually anytime. Flaps is now installed to make things easier for pilots in any way. And now wings could be folded twice (compared to ELCAS-2 Mk.III) to further save storage room for more planes. It's weapon payload is yet to be decided due to wings shape and capability, so we install only 2x20mm gun in each wings.

    @Panzerfausst Well, for what it is, i'd say its fine, u might want to replace the wings with unbending wings from here: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/s6dR76/CHALLENGE-XML-Cheat-Bench
