|
The Thunder Air superiority fighter is the Workhorse of the New Covenant Aerial fighters. The Engines, and technology are all built into a armored hull that makes it an exceedingly tough fighter compared to many others, and its powerful engines make it have high maximum speeds, with a loss of maneuverability, and an excellent dog-fighter for keeping the skies clear once air dominance has been established. It is an atmospheric fighter that can be deployed from space, but is not powerful enough to make a good space combat fighter, where it excels in atmosphere.
Use
Typical used as a heavy fighter capable of shooting down other craft with superior firepower, and armor capable of taking sufficient abuse, it is maneuverable at combat speeds which allows it to be an effective dog-fighter. It is typically deployed after the Lightning Fighter, to sustain air dominance by shooting down enemy craft that attempt to retake the air.
Due to its effective armor, weapons, and versatility it is typically used in escort missions for bomber craft where its firepower makes an effective deterrent for the enemy
It is versatile and can be used as a quick strike bomber for delivering precision strikes, and its heavy armament allows it to be a vehicle hunter as well, usually given clearance for free engagement of the enemy.
