"Dacoit"

Also colloquially called the "Seadog" due to being either a shipper's best friend or worst nightmare.

This fighter-bomber

looks pretty neat, doesn't it? It's pretty balanced in terms of statistics, not too slow, not to bad at turning, decent armor, etc... However, its armament and functionality are what make the Dacoit extraordinary. It is the first- and currently only- FSF plane to carry torpedoes, which will wipe out almost any ship in a single shot (just don't be too close to them when they explode)! It has some rocket pods too but nobody really cares about those. Also has four 20mm cannons which are ideal for air-to-air combat. As for mechanization, the F-6A gifts you with three main features:
-Activation Group 1 toggles the arresting hook for carrier landings
-Activation Group 2 will make the wings fold for carrier storage
-Activation Group 3 drops all weapons (excluding cannons)
That's pretty much all you need to know about the naval warrior!

Trivia

-The Dacoit was originally nicknamed the "Looter," but that felt too boring. After finding some synonyms for "thief," I settled on Dacoit.
-The F-11 Tiger was the inspiration behind the F-6 Dacoit, with a narrow-ish fuselage and a circular intake wrapping around it.
-The F-6 has some weird pods on its wings. These are only aesthetic ingame, but in reality these would be dual-radar-bearing pods. These combined with a nose and tail radar made the Dacoit aware of virtually anything in the area.
