The “Wallace” is a aircraft made by NJB Corp. for the Krakabloan-Wright Air Force based off of the earlier N-65D-4 “Frogmouth” and has been changed into a heavy close air support and COIN aircraft. The Wallace is capable of VTOL and has variable geometry wings, but because of the much lower speed than the original Frogmouth the wings only sweep back 25 degrees. The Wallace was also given a much more advanced cockpit with more options and better avionics. With the role switch from a high speed interceptor to a low speed ground attack aircraft, the airframe itself has to be changed, the major changes were the installation of armor plating around the pilot and on the underside of the aircrafts around the fuel and engine along with the radar being removed to let the nose slope down harder and give the pilot better visibility. The decision was also made to add on specially made pylons on the wing to allow ordnance or drop tanks to be fitted under the wings, and because of its ability to move with the wings and stay straight, they are permanent.

Controls—
AG1 - Master Arm
AG6 - Jettison Ground Munitions
AG7 - Emergency Drogue Chute
AG8 - Gyro-Stabilizer
VTOL Down - Lift Engines
VTOL Up - Swing The Wings

Armament —
Six - Air-to-Ground missiles
Four - 500 pound dumb bombs
Two - Air-to-Air dogfighting missiles
One - 25mm rotary cannon

Side notes —
The Wallace is very hard to control when trying to land in VTOL, and it is suggested that you jettison all ground munitions before you start the landing procedure, since the engines and underpowered and respond very slowly to power increase and decrease. The emergency drogue chute is to be used when one or both of the lift engines are damaged and there is no proper runway to land on or the aircraft is going too quickly. Other than that, the aircraft has a mostly working cockpit , good visibility, and is able to take out most ground and naval units on the map without rearm or refuel.

Also, the name “Wallace” comes from the Wallace Flying Frog, and was just shorted to Wallace for simplicity.
