The last of the prop-driven fighters from the Raiden Fighters series: the Griffin.
Originally conceived as a seaplane, the Griffin was redesigned to meet the squadron's needs for a rugged, attack aircraft with a long loitering time. With 4 heavy cannons and 6 weapons pylons, the Griffin can bring tremendous firepower to bear against hapless ground targets.
Making the Griffin made me wish that HE cannons are in the game. After looking at photos of A-10, the Griffin probably needs more pylons. Because of the high mounted pushers, beware of the excessive pitching down in flight. You can VTOL down to almost eliminate that effect.
- VTOL: Adjust the angle of pusher engines.
