KerbalX

The Leo

One of the Zodiacs, it is designed to be quickly deployed and capable against both air and ground. It is equipped with 2 Cluster Bombs, 4 AIM 120s, 4 Sidewinders, 6 Tow Missiles, and 2 Mavericks. It’s VTOL capabilities allow it to take off from nearly everywhere and it’s big fuel tank gives it a long range. It is also equipped with chaff and flare to be able to evade attacks.

It’s heavy weight makes it a little slugish, but with afterburners and the rear VTOL engine on, it can reach mach 1 once the 2 bombs are gone.

VTOL Take Off Procedure

-Turn on SAS to stabilize while taking off, then press 9 to turn on all VTOL engines and turn on vertical mode for the rear engine.

-Full throttle up, then press 0 to activate main engine. Press 9 again when ready to turn off the VTOL engines and to put the rear VTOL back into horizontal mode.

-(Optional) Press RCS to activate afterburners and to turn on the rear VTOL.

Notes:

-Never press RCS when in VTOL mode.

-When taking off horizontally, be careful to avoid hitting the tail. I shouldn’t even need to remind you this.

-Let your craft speed up a bit first before maneuvering again at speeds of around 60m/s.

-Be careful when landing vertically, I haven’t compensated for the change in center of mass once there is little fuel and no armament.

-Brace when landing horizontally and you’re coming in hot, there are no airbrakes!

-OH NO, I forgot to put on a targeting ball or pod, remember to put one on or you have to use a gps target for the Mavericks and Tow Missiles. I’m so sorry about that!
