90 Valaritas2  3.8 years ago
Auto Credit Based on Valaritas2's Val MK7 (Fixed)

A small, short range carrier-based strike fighter. Has three Blasto J50 jet engines. Armament is of 6 wing guns on the wing roots, a minigun in a gunpod and 20 slots for ordnance (5 per pylon). Comes pre-equipped with the recommended loadout of missiles. Has a takeoff speed of 600 km/h on flat ground if not fully loaded, but will easily fly off from a carrier after dropping off from the deck. The activation keys are : 1 for the arrestor hook, 2 for the parachute, 3 to select chaff and 4 to select flares. A lot has changed in this new version : It has nearly doubled in fuel capacity, another engine was added to make up for the extra weight, the tail section is longer and wider to make the aircraft more manoeuvrable, the wings are bigger and a gunpod has been added to accomodate a minigun under the fuselage.
