[1.0] ZRM - Shikaeshi: attack fighter (using BDArmory)

[Uzric]

Actually it's not highly weaponized. But it works.

ZRM - Shikaeshi.

Indeed, ZRM⁽¹⁾ has built an attack fighter in order to increase its air force (and make it's cousin ZRM - Shinobi less lonely). Its strongest points are its speed, its high fuel amount and its high maneuverability, making it perfect for skirmishes against enemy key facilities. Its weakest point is its low weapon array.

It's made with BDArmory.

I updated the craft.

The looks are radically different, now it's based upon the old version of the ZRM - Shinobi.

A fourth of its weight is now those cruise missiles, so beware when launching them as doing so shakes the craft a little. Furthermore, since it's so heavy for its size, landing is quite difficult unless you fire most of its detachable weaponry. The maneuverability is underpar when fully loaded too, so the best use of this plane is to reach a far away objective, fire everything, and flee ASAP.

EDIT:

Little update: simplified action groups.

EDIT:

Craft updated for version 1.0. I decided to ditch FAR because stock aero is enough for me. It has changed quite a lot aesthetically (check IMGUR album).
