DragA-7 Nightstalker Night Fighter

5,795 DragonAerotech  8.1 years ago

Dragon Aerotech's first "official" release is this twin-engined devil of the night. While outclassed in terms of avionics and high performance of jet aircraft what the Nightstalker does not lack is maneuverability and center-mass forward armament. Its nose is outfitted with a trio of 12.7 mm machine-guns and a pair of 20 mm cannons easily capable of reducing an enemy aircraft to scrap in a dogfight.

Additionally it features a rear cockpit, fixed mount 12.7 mm machine-gun with a lower rate of fire than the nose mounted types but mounted at a 45 degree angle to allow the Nightstalker to discourage enemy aircraft from taking a rearward position on her as well as taking down night-bombers from below.

(CG 1 to operate the rear gun. Note that the 12.7 mm guns have blue-white tracers while the 20 mm guns have green tracers.)

* Inspired in part by the Bf-110 as well as the new tutorial aircraft.

    @TheOwlAce So I've seen! I've been preoccupied with my father being in the hospital with an uncertain outcome. He won't be home for months at the very least, at the worst .. well I don't want to think about it.
