((OOC: My first fighter design ever, as well as the first thing I've ever put up for sale. Comments, questions, all are welcome.))

The Reich announced today that it's primary ASF design, the Raven XG/3T, which has so far seen action in three wars and has successfully held it's own against several other designs is now up for sale to the international community. The statistics speak for them selves, and we hope to find a market for this fine aircraft, as it does rock. It really does.

Avionics: The Raven features four primary sensory systems, the foremost being an AN/APG-77 AESA RADAR system, a smaller aircraft variant of the SMART-L RADAR system, a LIDAR/LADAR system for secondary target detection and acquisition as well as munition guidance, and a GPS system designed for munition guidance as well as battlefield mapping.

Stealth: The Raven possess a skin of Radar-absorbing material as it's primary stealth asset, but the design also incorporates a variety of composite materials that are transparent to Radar. The intake ducts are also coated in RADAR absorbent material, and are uniquely Z shaped. The canopy is also coated in ndium-tin alloy to deflect RADAR waves directed at it. The Reich has also recently successfully fielded "Plasma Stealth" variants of the Raven fighter, which are harder to detect than their more conventional stealth variants.

Counter-Measures: As a very important and expensive asset, the Raven contains a variety of counter-measures to defend against attacks. Four ports are installed on the belly of the fighter, two containing thermal flares and two containing chaff capsules. The total number of counter-measures are 26 chaff capsules and 20 thermal flares. A powerful RADAR jamming system is also featured.

Thrust Vectoring: The Raven features an all-aspect, 4D Thrust Vectoring system, enhancing it's maneuverability considerably when compared to the Reich's past ASF's. This particular 4D system allows for frightening maneuverability. The Raven's ability to perform sleek 360 turns being a prime example.

Weapons: As stated above, the Raven XG/3T features eight external hardpoints where various types of missiles as well as an internal bomb-bay, enabling the Raven to Carry out various strike missions. The Raven also features an internal Mauser BK-27 27 mm Autocannon.

Electronic Warfare: This variant does away with some of the weapons systems in place of various electronic warfare equipment, such as a more powerful RADAR jammer, radio jammer and enhanced target designators and communications equipment to serve as a supporting role to other Ravens.

Uhh...the X-02 has become so common as a aircraft design that I remeber seeing one a couple days ago. Was it called the F-32 Dogma?

The Imperial Air Force is interested in this design, and we would like to inquire if it would be possible for us to buy DPR for this craft (with plasma stealth), and permission to add a few of our own electronic systems to the craft such as our unique ATHENA artificial AI system.

At the moment, DPRs for the XG/3T design are not available, due to security reasons. How ever, if you are still interested in the design we do grant you permission to add your own electronic systems.

OCC: what game is that pic from?

OOC: Ace Combat: Zero. I can tell by the Ustian markings. (At least I'm pretty sure that's an Ustian roundel... Hard to see. If not, Ace Combat in general.) It's the X-02 Wyvern, one of the best planes in the game along with the Falken and the Morgan.

We'll take 1600, we understand it may take some time but the sooner you can deliver the better. We'll even pay double if needed.
