Auto Credit Based on ShiptyTheLucario's Shipty Co. NJ-1 Cowboy {WW2 Jet Challenge}

In the wake of the disater of the NJ-1 back in the early 40s, Shipty Co would make some drastic changes in order to make something that could actually be competitive. Serious redesign allowed the installation of a stronger jet, resulting in the removal of the pistol engine for an intake. The only other improvements were the installation of air brakes, and a lessened payload. Designated the NJ-2, it performed somewhat better than the NJ-1, yet had the same issues with landing gear, speed, and capability. Instead, it was used as a strike fighter against massive pirating rings and guerilla fighters in hostile areas.

Basics
-Top speed is around 400mph
-Fully carrier capable from USS Beast, landing is painful
-AG 2 for arresting hook

Armament
- 4 Colt Mk.12 20 mm cannons, 200rpg (800 total)
-12x Explosive Rockets

(Despite being a successor to the NJ-1, this is not for the challenge)
