Warbird

Warbird
A new aircraft class, remnicient of both Bombers and Fighters, Warbirds are propeller driven aircraft that boast a distinct and unprecedented mechanic compared to other Aeros. For every weapon equipped to one of the three normal slots, a Warbird will fire two instances of this weapon simultaneously, effectively doubling the damage output and ammo of any normal weapon.

While these planes do not lend themselves to any broad descriptors (nor are they, technically, a class in of themselves), they tend to heavily mimic the Bomber class in both stats and usage. Know for being the slowest class in the game, their options when confronting enemies are highly limited.

Another more roundabout limiting factor lies in the dual-weapon mount; while this may seem overpowered at first, pilots should note that some of the heaviest ground attack equipment can score one-hit kills on most targets already, so equipping those to a warbird gives very little advantage in exchange for their reduced speed. The same principle applies to air-to-air missiles, somewhat; double Diamondbacks offer very little advantage other than ammo conservation in a one-on-one dogfight, since a full volley from any other plane would score a kill just the same.

Though powerful and unique, Warbirds find themselves in a slightly narrower bomber niche than most bombers. They are excellent at successive strikes against highly populated areas, and are best suited to slower, methodical strafe runs that would vex some of the more hit-and-run bomber loadouts.
