AV-8B Harrier II Night Attack Strike Fighter

T3, available in the VIP Battle Pass.

Features:

AV-8B Harrier II Night Attack is a British upgraded vertical takeoff and landing strike fighter, designed for combat operations under any visual conditions. It is equipped with improved avionics, including a thermal imaging sight, as well as a reinforced airframe and new Pegasus 11 engines. The machine's arsenal begins with a powerful five-barrel GAU-12 Equalizer (25 mm) cannon, which accurately hits surface targets at long ranges. The board also carries AGM-65K NA long-range anti-ship missiles that ignore heat decoys. In addition to them, there are some high-speed AGM-122 Sidearm missiles for medium ranges, which are excellent at overloading enemy air defense systems with frequent attacks. This arsenal is completed by medium-range laser-guided missiles Zuni APKWS NA (70 mm), which can be manually aimed at surface targets

MAH Marineon Helicopter

T3, available in the VIP Battle Pass.

Features:

A strike version of the South Korean Navy MUH-1 Marineon. It has short wings and an extensive ammunition supply of missiles, including hypersonic ones, as well as excellent flight capabilities. The helicopter's arsenal begins with a nose turret with a three-barrel large-caliber GAU-19/M (12.7 mm) cannon, which can accurately hit surface and aerial targets at medium ranges. There are also European light Polyphem missiles on board, which can engage surface targets at long distances, flying close to the water. For particularly hard-to-reach targets, there are South Korean TAipers, which have an increased ammunition supply and are guided by a laser sight. The Marineon's armament is completed by a novelty for helicopters - the Sky Dragon MAH-M hypersonic air missile, which ignores decoys and is suitable for the priority elimination of surface targets at medium ranges.

Type 65-76A Kit Torpedo

Features:

A Russian nuclear torpedo suitable for long range-shots. It takes some time to reload, but it deals devastating damage, as well as area damage.
