[Gen3] Falcon Fighter

[Tim_Barrett]

With the new aircraft building abilities that came out with .15, I have decided to recreate my gen2 fighter the 'Falcon' better than ever before.

The new fighter now has 18 missiles and 6 bombs, making it the ideal light all-purpose ship. It can also reach speeds of 350-400m/s under 1km altitude.

And... that\'s pretty much it. Cya next time!

Thats a LIGHT FIGHTER? Man, I expected more out of you.

Pretty large for a light fighter. Looks more like a medium tactical fighter-bomber to me.

Compared to his other Tim-Class fighters, this one is pretty small. His usual light fighters are about four times as big

His heavy fighter is a stratofortress.

Now imagine his bomber stratofortress.

On the second post you can see what the second generation Falcon had looked like.

This one seems more useful, with bombs for ground targets, so that missiles are dedicated to anti-air.

And with the speed, it is even harder to target and take down.

I see you use 3 turbines.

Explains the speed, but how much fuel does it guzzle?

It\'s actually pretty efficient, since they are built for atmospheric thrust. That also means it no longer has spaceplane capabilities... but hey. 8)
