Rogue

Op de server

The Rogue is the twin-boom turboprop attack plane from the Smuggler Run update, styled after the OV-10 Bronco. Propellers instead of jet thrust mean it is one of the slowest armed aircraft available, but that is the point: it flies steady at low speed, and its weapon bays take machine guns, missiles and bombs. Against another aircraft it is badly outclassed and has to rely on turning inside a fast mover that overshoots. On MCS the Rogue is a ground attack tool. Loitering at walking pace over a target area lets you actually see what you are shooting at, line up a bombing pass properly and correct without flying a second circuit. It also puts down almost anywhere, so forward basing is easy. The obvious risk is that anything with a radar lock will catch it. Recommended for players working ground objectives with friendly air cover overhead.
