VF-11D Thunderbolt Heavy Combat Command Fighter Notes Debut: Fan made; this is NOT an official design Description: This VF-11D Thunderbolt variant entered mass production in 2046 and was built in small numbers for special combat support. The "Heavy Combat Command Fighter" is designed to operate both as heavy weapons support and command/control unit at the squadron level, helping to coordinate intricate attack and defense maneuvers independantly from the battle group. A co-pilot acts as an independant strategic analyst that relays real-time information to the commanding pilot who can then position his fighter as heavy weapons support in a more effective combat zone. With the powerful engines and heavy firepower of the VF-11D, the Heavy Combat Command Fighter can quickly maneuver from one combat zone to the next while both engaging the enemy and monitoring the overall strategic needs of friendly variable fighters. The UN Spacy found pilot morale benefitted from the omnipresent role of the heavy combat fighter and coordination degraded less during intense combat operations.
