Roudland Air Force
The Roudland Air Force is mainly Naval-based, in that Roudland believes that it needs air superiority at sea and over deployment areas. Potential enemy air travel over Roudland is near impossible due to a large air defence network, and a number of friendly airbases stationed within Roudland itself. Considering this, Roudland’s current air power, excluding the transport dropships that belong to the Army, is centred on fighter-bombers and rapid-response fighters.
Aircraft in Service
The Hawk J-35 is a multi-role fighter-bomber that is deployed with the Naval and the mainland Air Forces. It is designed as a low-to-medium altitude craft that penetrates enemy lines at up to mach 1.7, and drops a payload that varies from air-to-air missiles, anti-armour missiles, heavy and light laser-guided bombs, and anti-emplacement bombs. It cruises at 26.000ft, and has a crew of 1. The Navy version has a VTOL (Vertical Take Off and Landing) capability.
Armament-27mm Mauser Cannon, 2 Sidewinder air-defence missiles, 8 Brimstone anti-armour missiles, 2 Paveway bombs.
Crew-1
Speed- Mach 1.7
Typhoon Fighter
The Typhoon is an all-weather attack fighter that is designed to be sent out in front of allied operations to clear the skies of enemy threats. It also has a limited ground attack role and several were used in the Feetbunions conflict to take out supply convoys for the enemy armies. However, its main strength lies with its ASRAAM and AMRAAM anti-aircraft missiles.
Armament- 27mm Mauser Cannon, 4 AMRAAMS, 2 ASRAAMS, 4 Brimstone Missiles
Crew-1
Speed-Mach 2.3
C-130 Hercules Moderate Lift Cargo Plane
The Hercules is used to transport moderate amounts of men and equipment to places just behind a frontline, where a runway may not have been constructed yet. It can land on virtually any surface, and forms a useful role as a sort of ‘troop taxi’ during a conflict. Variants include a ‘Spectre’ gunship version for air support operations, and the ‘Crossbow’ command plane that includes Archer Communications Network equipment.
Armament- (C-130) 2 Rear Mounted GPMGs, (Spectre) 2 M2, 4 L7 and 3 Miniguns
Crew- 4 or 6
Capacity- (C-130) 64 troops with some small cargo, (Crossbow) 25 staff plus equipment
C-17 Globemaster Heavy Lift Cargo Plane
With similar applications to the C-130, the C-17 is used as an unarmed delivery platform for long-range deployments of light infantry. It can house a number of troops, supplies, artillery places and jeeps, and travels at a speed that makes cross-continental deployments painless for logistics. A number of airborne divisions are permanently on standby for deployment with these large aircraft.
Crew- 4
Capacity- 102 troops with small cargo, or up to 4 WOLF jeeps with infantry
C-5 Galaxy Ultra Heavy Lift Cargo Plane
The C-5 is a major new joint development with the Kegmenistani Airborne Corps to create an extremely heavy lift aircraft capable of landing and entire Mechanised regiment along with their IFVs. Utilising cutting edge jet technology that powers the craft, the C-5 is capable of tasks that were not thought possible before. It can carry three Main Battle Tanks, six IFVs or 8 WOLF jeeps at any one time.
Crew- 7
Capacity- 80 troops plus aforementioned cargo or 200 troops
