— · INTRODUCING THE F/A-77B "Mosquito-Beetle" · —
The YF/A-77B (YF: Prototype Fighter) was a Multi-Purpose Carrier-Based Fighter Jet that underwent development for a period starting in Mid-2024 and being finished in Sunday 4th of May, 9 days before my birthday. It is the direct successor to the F/A-72A Block 10 Pelican, which was a Fighter Jet filled with malfunctions and with an horribly defective design.
The F/A-77B is the FIRST "B" Variant of the Mosquito-Beetle, since the ED/VTA Variant was basically the AB Variant, just with two engines.

SHORT HISTORY
The F/A-77 Mosquito-Beetle (formerly called F-72A "Pelican" and YF/A-77B → F/A-77 "Mosquito" → F/A-77 "Mosquito-Beetle") went from being a Turboprop Light-Attack, Patrol and Reconnaissance Carrier-Based Aircraft — to being a Multi-Anything Carrier-Based Fighter Jet capable of carrying the equivalent to a cargo truck of armament. This aircraft wasn't actually made thinking of fulfilling any role in specific, which is why believe it can do anything (⁠ ⁠╹⁠▽⁠╹⁠ ⁠).

It used to be poorly designed until I began putting more attention to detail and started giving the plane lots of aesthetic and/or conventional features that eventually turned it into a BEAST. One of the things that evolved the most was its cockpit, which was a Copy-Paste from the Pigpen, but began evolving shortly after it became a Fighter Jet.

This specific variant of the F/A-77 Mosquito-Beetle isn't a continuation — it's a FULL REMAKE. It starts when I wanted to add more Avionics into the Cockpit, but it was too small, so... I decided to remake the entire aircraft from zero, I initially procrastinated a little about it. But then I noticed I was running out of time because two November Dates which were personally important to me were fast approaching, so I just said "Fuck it, I'll rush it", which ended in me doing everything so fast and Troubleshooting Engineering Issues within the Airframe so fast that it didn't have to take me 3 months to finish it (like earlier variants of the original F/A-72 / F/A-77 Series).
I've already talked a lot, so I'll just give some specifications about its Features and what little Armament this Low Performance Device Variant has.
