F-52 Condor

The F-52 Condor is a two-seater, all-weather multirole tactical attack fighter that is used by the Orion Nero Initiative Sky Legion.

Although it can engage in aerial combat, the F-52 was primarily designed for class air support (CAS) of friendly ground troops, attacking armoured vehicles and tanks, and providing quick-action support against enemy ground forces.

Because of the Condor's multi-role purpose, its armament is extensive with the only fixated weapon being its 20mm M61 Vulcan cannon. The Condor's extensive armament includes the carrying of air-to-air missiles and air-to-surface missiles, as well as being able to carry additional fuel in up to four external fuel tanks.
