Changes: YF-12A

Revision as of 14:31, 27 November 2020

The Lockheed Corporation YF-12A is a proposed interceptor variation of the infamous SR-71. It is a twin-seater version of the A-12 Oxcart (In turn, the recon aircraft that would lead to the production of the twin-seating SR-71). However, it was eventually cancelled. It only appears in Airforce Delta Strike and features prominently in the mission Hyper Speed Rick.

Design

This aircraft looks identical to the SR-71, unsurprisingly. It has the same incredibly large profile, humongous jet engines, and small wingspan and narrow front section.

Performance

It is the second fastest aircraft in the game, (Slightly beaten out by the F-108) but outside of that, stats are incredibly poor. It has decent Anti Air, but mobility is horrible, defense is trash, and it's only good for a niche role. If you want a dogfighting plane for Rick, this is NOT a plane for you (We recommend the Su-37, which you unlock by this point anyways).

Compared to the F-108, this craft is superior in overall control (It rolls slightly better), and it has decent Stealth. Anti Air and Anti Ground is also superior. However, it has a worse special weapon (ML-AAMs are much less accurate than HM-AAMs), and lower armaments overall (70 standard missiles as opposed to the F-108's 150).

Trivia

Although this plane is unlocked for free, its price would technically be 200,000 credits due to how repair prices for planes are calculated (50% of the plane's price to purchase, hundred-digit numbers rounded up).
