ASF-58

"A long range stealthy air-superiority fighter. High capacity internal weapon bays and dual thrust-vectored afterburning engine."

― Mission Editor Description.

The ASF-58 is a dual-thruster afterburning engine Air Superiority Fighter, reputable as being the most powerful class of Air Superiority Fighter in the enemy fleet. It is designed with stealth and air superiority in mind. It has a very smooth frame and an internal weapons bay, giving it a strong resistance to radar detection and locks. This plane has a default Thrust to Weight Ratio of 1.43, the highest of any fighter in the game. It is also optionally capable of equipping External Fuel Tanks, allowing it to sacrifice its stealth and maneuverability for extended flight range. Unlike the other ASF models, the ASF-58 lacks a launch bar or arrestor hooks, making it unable to deploy from or land on Aircraft carriers.
