S-041B Quake

Stanni: Sotilaslentokone-041B Maanjäristys

Propulsion

Due to even worse fuel efficiency than the original planes caused by added drag on the gun pods, Quakes have an additional supplementary fuel tank directly under the pilot's seat to extended the range of the aircraft. This has lead to recorded horrible instances of fires caused by penetration of this tank engulfing the unlucky pilot in flames. This unfortunate, albeit fairly rare occurred has lead to this plane being even more feared to fly than its predecessor.

Weapons & Armament

In addition to the standard 6 15mm machine guns, the S-041B posses two gun pods, each containing a 30mm cannon that fires at 160 rpm and 300 rounds of ammunition. These were primarily added to supplement in air to ground strikes, but these planes have often been seen engaging with air targets, the 30mm high explosive rounds wreaking havoc when they do finally make contact.
