Upgraded Air to Air combat varient

The Mk.10.4 Thunderbird is a med-long range multipurpose strike fighter built for varied combat in several environments. This version has been upgraded with more weaponry suited for dogfighting.

Armament

12 Forward facing Gatling Guns
1 Autocannon Turret

Specs (Army varient, the Navy varient differs slightly)
100,000 kg unloaded (can carry 10,000 kg of munitions no problem)
101 Small Fuel Tanks
1 Medium Cargo Container
6 Backup reactors (not needed for flight)
14 gyros
3 large batteries
2 decoys (wing tips)


This fighter is designed for survival reliability as well as flexibility, the autocannon turret included is very accurate even in dogfights.

Notes on features
This fighter works fine with thruster damage on, the two forward thrusters have space inside the build for their exhaust and wont damage any parts.
At a glance there are no sideways thrusters, there are sideways thrusters stored in the wings that allow for side to side thrust, similar to the atmo thrusters their exhaust will not damage any components.

Survival Blueprint
This blueprint is reccomended to use if building in survival, it includes the subgrids for the wings.

This fighter uses Whips Horizon script

Whips scripts are awesome


Please feel free to modify, tweak, recolor, use for fleets or carriers, or do whatever you want with this. I only ask that you credit me if you post.

By far my favorite fighter design yet! Its style is exactly what I've been looking for in a fighter for my rover based aircraft carrier fleet. it packs a real punch and I love the army and naval variants, since they work great as dive bombers. They are super survivable, capable of taking ungodly amounts of damage and still keep hitting. I attribute that to your incredible wing design. Please, give me more! I am huge fan of your work and would love to see more fighter designs!
