DESCRIPTION

The F-68M is a small, special aircraft developed by DHC. The aircraft is the mass-production version of the F-68 Darkhound, with a different paintjob and the absence of the "No-Fuel" engines. The latter factor made the aircraft more cheaper to produce, gaining the aircraft a large production number of 356 units produced and 130 units sold to the Luftwaffe. The downside of this aircraft is that it is a very short-distance fighter, and can only last about a third of an hour with a full tank. Its maneuverability is more sloppier, with the aircraft wobbling after the pilot pitches and rolls it. But the upside is it still maintains the high-damage Barrage Gatlings from its predecessor. It also is hard to distinguish from a Darkhound at night, looking as black as the F-68 but without the reds. Still, the aircraft has decent performance out in the airspace, almost rivaling its predecessor in terms of performance, speed and armament.

ARMAMENT

The aircraft carries:
- 2x Barrage Gatlings
