Designed specifically for down-low agility, survivability, and payload, the Thunderstruck features immensely unusual and cutting-edge forward-swept gull wings and twin tail booms. The split booms allows the fuselage to be smaller and assists in compartmentalizing any potential battle damage.

The lower rate of fire is not as effective at suppressing hostile infantry, but the larger round ensures it is more lethal against modern armored targets, and also helps increase time-on-station by expending ammunition more slowly. Despite the new cannon armament, the most utilized weapons are the large array of laser and GPS guided bombs as well as either laser or electro-optically guided ATGMs.
