Maneuver: +2
SDP: 110 (Body 5)
SP: 20 (Armor 1)
Type: Small Jet
Mass: 8.8 tons
Cost: 1.82M eb (1,814,250eb base cost)
Equipment: Ejection seat, fire extinguisher, environmental control, 4 man-hours life support, military radio, autopilot with navsystem, military radar (look-down, terrain following, detector), chaff and flare launchers, visual and radar rangefinders, ECCM.

Notes: A relatively cheap multi-role jet aircraft, the Alpha Jet is used for anything from ground-attack to interception, escort to air superiority and patrol to close-air-support. The Alpha Jet's main drawback is its low speed, Mach 0.96 at its operational ceiling of 50,000 feet, lower than most other modern fighter jets. However, against most other aircraft, the Alpha Jet performs its role well.

The 2-space hardpoints usually carry a 500lb bomb, a 71 gallon drop tank (+1420 miles range) or a 30mm gun pod (300rnds).
Notes: Developed from the P-51 Mustang in the early 1970's, the Piper Enforcer was developed as a COIN aircraft. Though the aircraft passed all tests, the USAF declined to purchase the plane in the 1970's and 1980's, when it was eventually put into storage.

Notes: Developed from the F-5 Freedom Fighter, the F-20 was designed from the ground up for export sales to allied and friendly nations to the U.S. However, the project was canceled due to low sales versus the F-16, mostly since the USAF used the F-16 and not the F-20.

Two 12.7mm machine guns (300rnds each) in a remote controlled dorsal turret. Internal bomb bay able to hold 10-spaces of bombs (two 2000lb bombs possible). Four 2-space hardpoints under each wing for bombs, drop tanks or rockets (no more than 2000lbs of bombs, or eight 5" rockets). Two 3-space hardpoints under each wing are dedicated to twin 12.7mm machine gun packs (300rnds each) each (optional, +22,000eb, +4800eb ammunition). Total 12.7mm machine guns: 6-14 fixed forward, 2 dorsally, 2 ventrally.
Notes: An attack/bomber designed in the mid-1940's, the A-26 Invader (later designated the B-26 after the B-26 Marauder was decommissioned) served up to the 1970's, including frequent use in the COIN role by both the Americans and the French in Southeast Asia and Africa. Civilian owners converted the A-26 to firefighting duty, aerial surveying, even executive transport (able to carry up to 14 passengers). A modern update package exists, as well: military radio, navigation system, military radar detector, visual rangefinder, chaff and flare luanchers and IR baffling (+47,500eb).

Equipment: STOL/off-road capable, ejection seats, environmental control, fire extinguisher, military radio, auto-pilot, flare launcher, visual rangefinder.
Weapons: Four 7.62mm machine guns (500rnds each) in forward articulated mounts. There is a 2-space hardpoint under each wing, two 2-space hardpoints under the left and two under the right fuselage, and a 2.5-space hardpoint under the center fuselage (14.5 spaces total). The 2.5-space hardpoint can carry a drop tank (+786 miles range, 500eb), but typically carries a 20mm cannon (400rnds) gun pod (4250eb, +1200eb ammunition). The four fuselage 2-space hardpoints typically carry rocket pods (2.75" or 5") or drop tanks (+714 miles range each, 500eb), while the two wing 2-space hardpoints carry rockets. Gravity bombs are rarely carried.
Notes: The rear seat can be removed to add extra space (+1) for cargo. There is an updated OV-10D version with IR baffling, chaff launchers, painting laser and FLIR [low light, thermal imaging] (+19,000eb). Can be made amphibious with pontoons (+1813eb, reduce speed to 255 mph).
Boeing T-2 Buckeye [Real]

SDP: 83 (Body 4)
SP: 16 (Armor 1)

Mass: 6.6 tons
Cost: 1.17M eb (1,165,750eb base cost)
Equipment: Ejection seats, environmental control, fire extinguisher, 4 man-hours life support, military radio, auto-pilot with navigation system, military radar (detector), visual and radar rangefinders.
Weapons: One 2-space hardpoint under each wing in the training version, but an armament upgrade increases that to two 2-space hardpoints and two 1-space hardpoints under each wing, with a 12.7mm machine gun pod (200rnds) under the fuselage (+2625eb, +400eb ammunition).
Notes: First flown in the late 1950's, the Buckeye was adopted as the standard training jet by the U.S. Navy until the late 1990's. Phased out in favor of the T-45 Goshawk starting in the late 1980's, many T-2s have found their way into the developing world, as training and light attack aircraft. The plane is designed so no ladders or stands were needed for maintenance, and large hatches provided access to components. This made the Buckeye well suited for field maintenance under less-than-ideal conditions.

Maneuver: +0
SDP: 125 (Body 6)
SP: 25 (Armor 1)
Type: Medium Plane
Mass: 15.625 tons
Cost: 1.15 Meb (1,141,950eb base cost) + weapon and ammunition cost
Equipment: IR baffling, chaff and flare launchers, STOL/off-road capable, ejection seats for crew, military radio with scrambler/decoder, auto-pilot with navsystem, military radar detector, visual rangefinder, artillery computer with remote targeting, crash control harnesses for crew and passengers.
Weapons: Stabilized painting laser in articulated mount on the left wing tip. There are 1-space mounts fixed at the front of each tail boon (1.5-spaces ammunition each) and a 1-space mount fixed to either side beneath the nose (2-spaces ammunition each). Various weapon configurations have been fitted into these spaces, of which the most popular is one 20mm cannon (3 mags) on each tail boon and two 7.62mm machine guns (4 mags each) on each side of the nose (11,880eb + 3720eb ammunition). Other configurations include: one 12.7mm machine gun (6 mags) in each position (8800eb + 4800eb ammunition); one 30mm cannon (3 mags) on each tail boon and one 7.62mm machine guns (8 mags) on each side of the nose (11,440eb + 4320eb ammunition); two 7.62mm machine guns (6 mags each) in each position (10,560eb + 5760eb ammunition); and one 7.62mm minigun (2 mags) on each tail boon (8800eb + 32,000eb ammunition). Besides the fixed gun placements, there are five 2-space hardpoints on each of the wings and the bottom of the fuselage (30 spaces total), rarely completely filled and usually mounting bombs, rockets, a few ATGMs and a few AAMs.
Notes: The Buzzard is a unique design in this age of AVs and fighter jets, looking more like a design from the 1950's or '60's. "[It] is a high wing monoplane capable of landing on an unprepared field and with a cabin capable of carrying several passengers, stretchers or a useful cargo. A small combat team of paratroopers [is] able to jump from the aircraft without worry of static-line entanglement with props or tailfins. ... At each end of the cabin is mounted a piston/turboprop engine, one driving a pusher propeller, the other a tractor propeller, ... ducted to facilitate static-line parachute jumps. The tricycle undercarriage is retractable and the tail is supported by twin boons from the wing. [1]" While more expensive than many AVs or medium helicopters, the Buzzard is capable of fitting many roles and is easily repaired in the field, making it ideal for small forces in underdeveloped regions.
