Gannet

75 sabremeister  3.2 years ago

A nippy and agile interceptor with limited ground attack capability. The primary design conception was to be a low-mid altitude air superiority fighter to assure battlefield air superiority for both friendly ground units and dedicated ground attack/CAS aircraft. Capable of Mach 1.8 at altitude, and trans-sonic speeds below 10,000ft, this is both a manoevrable dogfighter and a stable missile platform. Tends to get twitchy at low power and below 300mph (makes landing fun!), and can lose speed quickly in turns if below 75% thrust, but nevertheless accelerates and climbs quickly and can cruise happily at 560mph at 50% thrust and 10,000ft while still remaining manouevrable. 1 - Deploy chute. 4 - Arm guns. 5 - Jettison missiles. 7 - Canopy. 8 - Running lights.
