The Haddock is the most numerous fighter in the neo-Hansa. A simple, no-frills plane that can be adapted for many engines, it's a good pick in the export market and as a home defense aircraft. In neo-Hanseatic service, Haddocks are most often used by cities along the Baltic coast, where the League's armed muscle is less constrained by the delicate neutrality they must maintain between the Western polities and the greater threat posed by the various warlords descended from the remnants of former militaries. Unlike in the West, Eastern Europe has struggled more to recover from the Crumbling since one of the worst wars to have occurred during the period hit the region, and is a major contributor to having brought down most of the major States in the continent.

The Haddock depicted is a typical Baltic one, armed with six 7.62 mm machine guns and two 14.5 mm VHMGs in the wings and nine 50 kg bombs. While air opposition is reduced (but not nonexistant), Eastern European geography has lent itself to a resurgence of ground armor and airpower is much less relevant than in the West and specially the Mediterranean, and as a result, Baltic Haddocks are much more likely to operate as fighter-bombers.

Meanwhile, the ones in the North Sea are usually not equipped with bombs due to treaties with the Blessed Germanic Empire and the Sixth French Republic which restrict the presence of bombers there, and are normally simply equipped with four heavy machine guns. These are usually used to defend against Scandinavian air attacks.
