[EA25] Horizon 2.0 - HDF Talon-II

Intended to fully replace the archaic Talon-I CAS plane, the ATARMS Talon-II is the high-capability strikeplane to the Impaler's low-capability; the F-15 to the F-16. While similar in dimensions, the Talon boasts far greater thrust, lift, maneuverability, payload, range - and cost.

While technically more capable than even the Strike-Impaler, Talon-IIs are largely consigned to strike missions, and of the many possible configurations it may have, the up-and-coming revolves around a heavy load of unguided high-drag bombs supplemented by the Hailstorm GaussPod.

While the Talon can mount an internal 20mm gun, such rounds aren't the greatest versus tank and ship-plate. Smaller bullets, however, slung at many times the speed of sound? The Hailstorm is a self explanatory weapon, and will chew through whatever target is placed before it given that the pilot can stay on target.

When neither the Hailstorm nor old-fashioned bombs and reliable SRMs can do the job, though,
You can always call on some orbital fire support, and drop 750 kilos of tungsten at mach 15.

Just keep out of the blast radius - and don't expect credit for the kills.


- The plane itself,
- The GaussPod,
- Twelve Short-Range-Missiles,
- Sixteen Bombs,
- The Orbital Strike Targetpod,
- A repair tool,
- An AC3-style third person hud you can switch on like a sightmode,
- The option to turn lock on and off, also through sightmodes
- Ammo States for the bombs and SRMs - the more you shoot, the less are on the racks,
- And full destructibility - rip the wings off, blow the canopy off, break it in half!


This plane isn't quite as polished as I'd like yet, but I suppose it's ready to head out for now.

The sound credits are a mess that I'll probably end up properly crediting in the collection.
