Overview
The Tsunami is a multitool, with multiple variants procide a full range of firepower and offense. The C models especially are often used for two phased support - starting with sustained LRM fire to break through enemy air cover, then diving in for ground attack with their A model wingmates keep any remaining fighters occupied.
Capabilities
The Tsunami Aerofighter was built to be modular - not in the field, but in assembly. Currently there are three major variants in use, with the chassis praised by support crews for adequate space, well-designated wiring runs, and easy diagnostics. The primary A model is meant to tangle with Corsairs and the like, with Magna Hellstar PPCs backed by a B3M laser in each wing. The Bravo Tsunami is built for close range punishment, with a massive Defiance Killer Type T autocannon centerline and a pair of B3m lasers in each wing. Rounding out the trio is the C variant, with paired LRM-15 racks providing long range fire and keeping the B models lasers for close defense and strafing.
