XSF A-3 Diplomat

403 JunkyardLeader  6.0 years ago

This is my most complicated plane yet. It's not the prettiest thing ever, but I think it has a bit of a charm in how it looks, nonetheless.
It is a short-range attack/C.A.S. plane as its armament is A.T.G. orientated, and it burns through its supply of fuel quite fast. It can be a quick plane for low-altitudes, but is no dogfighter. Your best bet if encountering enemy fighters is to try and outrun them. You also won't be able to take off very well without using the afterburner.
Its loadout consists of 28 Rockets in rocket pods, 2 machine guns located in the wings, 2 A.T.G. missiles, 2 Boom 25's, and 4 Boom 50's.
AG 1 for engine ignition and for lights to turn on,
AG 2 for Machine gun arm,
AG 3 for A.T.G. Missile arm,
AG 7 to drop all ordinance.
External fuel tank doesn't detach. I apologize for the horrid camouflage.
