This thread will be updated as the custom orders submitted to our weapons development teams are completed. In some cases, it will be the final product while in others it may simply be numerous prototypes from which development will be then carried forth.

Once again, we'd like to thank everyone who has submitted orders and we hope that you are pleased with the final products.

Is my ground attack fighter in there?

Is my ground attack fighter in there?

Yes. it is currently under development.

Designed Specifically for Purgatorio, the AMG-001 is the result of improvisation upon requested systems, resulting in an extremely durable and deadly fighting vehicle. Price as yet to be determined for export sale. Purgatorio, of course has rights to the vehicle and may request that it be kept off of the open market. Such wishes will be complied with.

AMG-002 Cossack Light Battle Tank

The AMG-002 Cossack was designed as a custom system for the nation of Dworniev and has since met airborne commanders’ needs throughout the Apostasian Hegemony where it has already begun to see action. Fully air-droppable, the AMG-002 is being considered as an export item and should see widespread use in armies requiring and fast, heavy hitting tank to complement airborne and air assault forces.

AMF-10 Manticore Close Air Support Aircraft

The AMF-10 is, simply, the finest ground attack aircraft in this region of the world. Like the plane from which many concepts were borrowed, it was designed for survivability, agility and high payload capacity, not speed and high-tech gadgetry. Where the A-10 Thunderbolt II left off, the Manticore picks up and delivers beautifully, the end result being a faster, equally accurate and survivable jet with a larger payload.

The fly-by-wire system delivers unparalleled agility and its triple redundancy mean that unless it takes three critical hits, the Manticore will be making it home. Of note is the new AES-EagleEye I ground attack radar which uses millimeter wave spectral analysis to sweep the ground, delivering a 3-dimensional image of targets and assigning them designations. The system has the ability to read the profile of the vehicles and compare them with its own database (software upgrades available to customize friend/foe profiles) and declare them hostile or not without IFF. If the target is identified as friendly, the computer will refuse to acknowledge it as a target. The pilot must then actively designate the target himself, taking on the responsibility of potential fratricide.

Other systems of note are the digital terapixel and low-light cameras that are positioned to give the pilot a full sphere of visual accuracy in all conditions. The image is transmitted into the helmet via the radio feed and displayed across the visor allowing the pilot to turn his/her head in all directions and see with increased accuracy. A tongue switch activates the zoom, giving hte pilot the ability to see beyond his/her own eyesight to accurately engage targets.

Also, the AWG-9 system of the F-14 Tomcat has been adapted, shrunk and installed to give the Manticore limited air-to-air capabilities. The wintip missile rails can hold up to medium-sized mid-range air intercept missiles and are fully wired for program interface should that be necessary in flight.
