You're all briefed on the mission. Apparently the Zentragoths are running out of steam (it is theorized that it is because they have overextended too quickly and are finding themselves bogged down by having to divert more and more troops to police actions in occupied territory), and an opportunity has arisen to halt their advance entirely. An Imperial tank battalion with very minimal air support is currently rolling over a NAUC-Mercanan position ahead of a city home to a major manufacturing plant. Defeat means taking a huge hit to materiel production in this theater, but a victory here could break the back of the Imperial offensive and allow the GTO to finally go on the attack.
Air units will be present, but not in large numbers. This is primarily an air-to-ground mission. Plan accordingly.
Can I be of having a not bad aircraft for mission?
you do have a not bad aircraft, the j-10's small size combined with its good agility makes it a total richardhead in a gunfight, and it's got decent durability to back it up
now that i think of it, "size" is probably a somewhat important thing to take into account when choosing a plane, should i throw that in the spreadsheets as well? not anything too specific or nerdy like wingspan or exact dimensions, just stuff like "this plane is tiny/small/medium/large/huge"
