A-40 MK IX Vortex

4,446 Showtime  6.8 years ago

A straight upgrade to the original A-40 model. This fighter has a much increased fuel capacity, external fuel tanks and an engine booster which can be toggled on and off (unlike the original version). The armament has been significantly improved (to the point where the AI is actually dangerous with them). The wings have been completely redesigned so now there won't be any clipping. While this model is a general improvement, its turning radius is inferior due to the extra weight. Activate booster with action group 1, detatch fuel tanks with action group 2.
