[Rythena] A-30 "Buffalo" – Light Ground Attack Aircraft

Retired Aircraft- The A-30 Program started after a replacement for the "Super Tucano" was proposed. The aircraft that the A-30 would be replacing was loud, inefficent, short range, and a tad ugly. The older Super Tucano was also quite… interesting and suspicious design wise (It used many aspects from another Tucano). Development- The A-30 used a Tajin A-29 Super Tucano blueprint to get the outline of the plane. The A-29, though very versitile and amazing, seemed to "strange" to reimplement into the RAF. The A-30 was created to share a lot of parts with the Tucano, but operate and look completely differient. The A-30 has these differiences when compared to the A-29: -Larger -Higher Payload Cap -Radial Diesel instead of Turbine -Longer wings -Longer range (Possibly even when compared to IRL) Service- The A-30 has served in the RAF longer than it has been on the workshop, going all of the way back to Dec, 2023. The A-30 has flown in airspaces defended by long range SAM/Anti Air sites, and has returned with little to no damage. The A-30s NN Autochaff system (Older version) and extensive array of "Quadrochaff" (Mere) allows the A-30 to dodge many types of interception devices. The A-30 has flown in a few mainly ground based "conflicts" and has taken out 11 armored vehicles at the time of this being written.

-Take off at full power on shorter runways (Like MP) if that wasnt apparent to some people. -Cruise at 0.7-0.8 Throttle to keep engine temp down. -If the engine gets to hot, dont worry! The A-30 has a ZE ecu that automaticly compensates. -Stay out of air combat, or do it strategicly. -Use rockets in A-A Combat, trust me when i say it works almost better than the guns lol, especially when you are fighting AI.
