Computerless Jet Fighter v1.0 (TL 08) Copyright 1996 by Onno Meyer The computerless jet fighter combines advanced materials science with a complete lack of computer chips - find your own campaign-specific reason. The fighter is armed with eight wing-mounted hardpoints (payloads vary, but the performance data assumes 1,000-pound weapons). Without any weapons, the jet can reach 1,320 mph (nearly mach 2). Except for a 45-mile radar and a radio there are no electronics and the sensor countermeasures are limited to chaff and flares. The fighter is a TL08 Vehicle [Oct. 95 errata sheet]. Structure: 500 cf standard extra-heavy body (HT 1,200), max. load 22.5t, superior streamlining, sealed body, three retractable wheels (DR 2, HT 67/134) and combat-stressed high-agility wings (HT 600). Propulsion: Two 9,000-lbs. variable-bypass turbojets with afterburners (DR 5, HT 100) with 360 gallons jet fuel (self-sealing, DR 5, HT 100, fire on 10) for 120 minutes. Power: 180 KW from the turbojets. 155 KW excess power. Accomodations: Two roomy seats, few armored windows (DR 20). Armor: 160 points expensive armor, F4/20 B4/20 R4/20 L4/20 T4/20 U4/20 RW4/20 LW4/20. Cargo: None, but 81.45 cf maintenance access. Accessories: Twenty chaff/flare dischargers, ejection seats, 2*6h limited life support, TL7 cheap long-range air-search radar (scan 22/16, DR 3, HT 20, electronics), improved optical bombsights, autopilot, dual controls, navigation instruments (DR 3, HT 6, electronics), TL7 long- distance radio (DR 3, HT 4, electronics), spotlight (DR 5, HT 2, exposed equipment). Weaponry: Eight hardpoints. Statistics: Cost $4,208,050, design mass 9.8 tons, max. payload 12.7 tons, maximum hardpoint load 12.7 tons, current load 4.2 tons, loaded mass 14 tons, size modifier +4, radar signature +5, IR signature +9, acoustic signature +6 (+9 on the ground). Ground Performance: Speed factor 26, top speed 221 mph (reduced to stall speed), acceleration 8.5 mph/s, deceleration 10 mph/s, MR 0.25, SR 3. Water Performance: None. Air Performance (standard/afterburner, loaded hardpoints): Speed factor 116, stall speed 135 mph, top speed 986/1131 mph, acceleration 17/19.5 mph/s deceleration 10 mph/s, MR 12.75, SR 5, ceiling 14,744/15,324 yards, 5.48/1.57 mpg. One of the most common payloads is an ejectable gunpod with a 20mm caseless gatling and 1,800 rounds API (ver|cr|6d*4|20|15|1.5 mi.|3 mi.|100|1,800). It is DR 5, HT 60, $19,765, 1,202 lbs. and 26 cf (storage volume).
