F-57 5A guardian

My return after a bit of not posting
BEHOLD! THE 5A VARIANT!

Now with afterburner, activated by the push throttle in the cockpit
Also now fully balanced without fuel or payload (because apparently I didn't pay attention to that originally)
Dropped by around 3,000lbs and 126 gallons of fuel (a very significant amount of fuel considering the new afterburner) but definitely worth it for the balance

The 3A variant took a significant dive in performance but has an internal bombing bay, wasn't worth posting

4A variant was very excellent and outperformed the 2C in almost every way, but wasn't as good as the 5A, potentially worth posting later
