Fast PPC ASF + Fast PPC conair
« on: 04 March 2023, 18:01:31 »
So in conjunction with the fast ppc asf that I posted in the combat vehicles thread, these are fighters that are basically supposed to use as much of the same logistical chain as possible. 30 tons, 180 FE, PPC
I'm fairly certain this configuration has been done before but not so much in the context of being slotted into a pre-existing logistics chain.

SRM 2                   LWG       1.0      2      2    0    0    0 

The fighter on the other hand is aimed at supporting the ground forces. While normal conventional fighter eschew pointlessly expensive weapons, the PPCs already have service shops so you know, smoke em if you got em. The primary weapons are the SRM2s which are probably loaded with frag or inferno on top of the normal bomb load.

Not bad, but I'd drop a Medium Laser from the ASF version to at least prevent threshold crits from Medium Lasers on the Nose...  :)

Nice combination of vehicle, ASF and CF. Along with a few nice canon mechs and you have a supply officer's dream.
