Veteran Comments

Please read the Veteran Comments policy before editing this section.


If anybody ever had anything bad to say about the GTVA's earlier heavy fighters, they will fall silent upon seeing and flying this ship. Not only is it agile and durable enough to handle most fighters, it also has the speed, firepower and weapons compatibility necessary to fly as an interceptor or heavy missile boat. As always, the presence of eight gun banks means that attempting to mount dual Kaysers is not exactly the best idea in the world.
