Twin-engine variable sweep wing air-superiority fighter based on BillKerman1234’s drawing on the Shipbucket forums.
In-universe description: Shipborne fighter-interceptor from the mid 1970s. Based the V-507 and F-14, with the profile of the former downscaled to the size of the latter. Meant to perform fleet air defence against enemy maritime strike aircraft, with a major focus on long-range interception thanks to her very powerful nose-mounted radar array and complement of four to six Type 50 LRAAMs. In addition to that she also has a high top speed, good thrust-to weight ratio, and surprisingly manoeuvrable airframe which allows her to effectively combat aircraft that slip though at shorter ranges as well.
