Background
The Guardian Aerospace GB-4A Screecher is a radial engine attack aircraft. Heavily inspired primarily after the famous Douglas A1D Skyraider, it inherits many traits. A similar engine, weapons load-out, configuration, etc. The GB-4A Screecher is armed with 1 Boom 50 dumb bomb, 2x rocket pods (7 rockets each), 4 machine guns, countermeasures, and even 2 guided missiles in case of aerial combat, it is prepared for any ground target. Even ships. Originally designed as a naval fighter, it was going to go onboard aircraft carriers for fleet patrol and attacks. But we found more relevant usage in the Air Force to defend against ground threats as the GB-1 is well outdated by now. Soon jets will be seen, but do not underestimate this plane. It is capable of some pretty impressive and useful maneuvers and tactics. It has enough strength to haul thousands of pounds of weapons and fuel combined.
Instructions
VTOL-Flaps
AG1-Spoilers
AG2-None
AG3-None
AG4-Jettison Weapons
AG5-Navigation Lights
AG6-None
AG7-Canopy
AG8-Gyro
Landing:
Set Flaps to full and maintain a speed around 160mph-190mph. Remember the stall speed is around 120mph. Maintain this speed until touchdown. Once the wheels have met the ground gently, and speed has decreased below 120mph, start braking and set the tail down.

@froge thanks!
looks really good :)
@UnitedinOne90 yea, i fixed that. I am abt to upload the aircraft carrier and naval GB-4N. It has moved rocket pods to avoid the detonation of the plane from collision with the propeller. And I am not joking when I saw the GB-4 Naval is a BEAST. It can take off at 140mph, can land on a carrier whilst still deploying the hook, and firing a fox1 at the exact same time, fold its wings for taking less space on the deck of a carrier, the engine is mounted higher up to not have the props hit the deck of a carrier, the wings and landing gear are moved up, im gonna add a dive bombing configuration because it already has spoilers, and it can dogfight against jets with ease. Im so surprised how it came out. It’s twice as powerful than this is already,
@B1BLancer when turning off the gyro, firing rockets detonates the plane.
@dabestsock idk like 2mil with weapons and avionics measurements included
@B1BLancer do you know what it would cost in USD
@B1BLancer actually very available
@KPLBall ahh, not the same versatility, cost-efficiency, availability, etc
@IDK0 its inspired by it
@B1BLancer I-100 is a mach 3.25+ Interceptor powered by a single hyperfan and has swept wings to increase speed. It has rapid fire missiles, being Aim-240s, and has an insanely power 37mm cannon. The I-121 is slower and has a much heavier armament for ground attack
@B1BLancer im getting AD-4 skyraider vibes
Welcome to ancapistan ahh flag
@Bugati87 thanks!
Hmm nice plane
@Erionh thanks!
Omg this Shi fire
@TheUltimatePlaneLover lol
@B1BLancer Man we really went from a rough and rugged attacker (Skyraider I) to a cropduster with missiles (Skyraider II) lol
@TheUltimatePlaneLover yea, in the desc i said it was inspired by it too. Btw you need to specify that you meant the Skyraider 1. The cropduster stole the title. Skywarden’s official name is now the Skyraider 2
Kinda reminds me of the Skyraider (prop with missiles)
@KPLBall elaborate follow sigma
Time for I-100 and I-121 to cook :D
@DeeganishCountryball sigma skibidi
