Vector Dynamics' Antiques | JP-6 "Invader" Strike Fighter

---

Originally developed by Vector Dynamics during interim period between the 3rd and the 4th Corporate Wars, the JP-6 "Invader" was designed to counter top-of-the-line Air Dominance Fighters like the FC-35. However, Lackluster missiles and a slower top speed ultimately made the JP-6 a poor choice for the role.

While its role as an Air Dominance Fighter was quickly challenged and proven inadequate during the 4th Corporate War, the JP-6 Invader nevertheless proved to be a formidable Strike Fighter, capable of single-handedly turning entire fleets and armored reigments into scrap metal with just one sortie.

By the end of the 4th Corporate War, most of Vector Dynamics' existing JP-6 fleet were either destroyed or retired in exchange for better aircrafts. This specific JP-6 is an historically-accurate recreation of the original model made public for purchase.

The JP-6 utilizes the primitive but functional 919 Series Flight Controller for controls and a prototype version of the IMPULSE-Series Atmospheric Ion Drive for maneuverability. Due to the prototype nature of the system, the JP-6 sports a somewhat impressive Pitch turn speed but poor Roll and Yaw controls.

Similarly, the Invader's top speed is severely lacking compared to future Vector Dynamics models, capping out at only 217M/S. Furthermore, Despite having a whopping 40,000L fuel tank, inefficient engine designs meant the Invader can only sustain roughly 8 minutes of flight in max throttle. An internal microfusion reactor ensured the Invader could sustain power to its critical systems almost indefinitely, but does not power the prototype IMPULSE Drives.

The JP-6 carry an excessive amount of missiles and guns. While these are originally designed to overwhelm hostile air power by sheer numbers, they prove to be much more effective against ground and sea targets. These include...

• A Quad-Linked Rotary Plasma Autocannon array with 250 rounds of effective ammunition (1000 rounds in total) equally divided between 4 emitters.
  
• 20 Vector Dynamics "Magnum" AA/AGMs.
  
• 8 NNTC Photon AAMs.

Furthermore, the JP-6 comes equipped with 168 units of chaff countermeasure launchers to defend itself from incoming missiles.

While the munition hardpoints are somewhat modular, the Invader uses an in-house FCS that does not offer EHCS compatibility, making its loadout options severely limited.

The JP-6's avionics suite includes a mixture of third-party and in-house controllers: The MFD system belongs to the KJ-74 "Kishi" while the HUD display uses the widely-used HEVS HUD system. Certain systems, like the Canopy control, landing gear control, FCS, and camera-steering systems are made by Vector Dynamics' internal R&D department. These systems are mostly outdated by today's standards but are still generally functional.

Due to this vehicle being an outdated antique, you do not need to read our Terms and Conditions, nor do you need to sign our Non-Compete Agreement. In fact, you are welcomed and encouraged by Vector Dynamics to refit and upgrade the JP-6 to modern standards and release it as your own creation.

That being said... Vector Dynamics is still not responsible for any damage, casualty or loss of resources caused by:
Attempting to mount munitions incompatible to our existing hardpoints;
Attempting to fire mounted munitions while doing high-G maneuvers;
Reckless behaviors of the pilot;
Reckless behaviors of the pilot caused by the false sense of security provided by our auto-flare features.
Attempting to use this aircraft as a submarine. The canopy is still not water-tight!
Attempting to use this aircraft outside its intended purpose. Please, for the love of god don't use it for agricultural purposes or something ridiculous like that. Sorry, Dave.

Vector Dynamics is also not responsible for any war crimes, human right violations, criminal activities or acts of terrorism caused by the use of our product. Vector Dynamic is also not responsible for any world-ending events caused by mentally unstable mercenary/peacekeeper pilots using our product. Remember, If it's out of our hands, it's none of our business anymore!
