the Python Conquest
The Python Conquest is a powerful, experimental fighter jet that was originally exclusive to the G.I. Joe arsenal. However, Cobra engineers got ahold of a black market Conquest or two and subjected them to Dr. Mindbender's Pythonization process, making them even more effective.
The Python Conquest has a top speed of Mach 2.42 (accounting for its incredibly high Speed rating), and a maximum operating radius of 1,200 miles (six hundred out, and six hundred back) - when fitted with two under-wing, 300 gallon fuel tanks, at least. The Python Conquest has the following vehicular capabilities:
C In 40 |
S Sh Y |
B Rm 30 |
P Rm 30 |
Advanced Computer-Aided Control: the Python Conquest shouldn't be able to fly according to standard aeronautics science. However, it is equipped with extremely powerful, computer-assisted control surfaces, which not only enable this craft to fly, but provides its rather high Control rating.
AIM-12 Light Sparrow Air to Air Missiles: the Python Conquest has four of these deadly missiles when fully loaded, which its pilot can use to strike opponents who are out of the range of its cannons. These laser-guided anti-aircraft rockets are possessed of the following vehicular statistics:
C Ex 20 |
S Un 100 |
B Ex 20 |
Damage In 40 Edged Attack |
Blast-Proof Tilt-Back Canopy: the Python Conquest's cockpit has been enhanced by this canopy, one that is made from Amazing (50) materials. This transparent marvel allows the plane to offer its full Body rating to its pilot, which significantly increases the odds of his survival in a dogfight.
"Double-Fang" 25mm Twin Cannons: these twin cannons can be fired separately or in tandem. If one cannon is fired at an opponent, it will inflict Excellent (20) Armor Piercing Shooting damage, while dual fire boosts this deadly damage +1 CS. This powerful weapon can chew up even the mightiest of aircraft.
Invisibility to Infra-Red Light Detectors and Radar Systems: thanks to Dr. Mindbender's revolutionary Pythonization process, the Python Conquest is effectively invisible to most conventional sensors. It possesses this power at Amazing (50) rank, making it invisible to all but the naked eye.
Radio Frequency Array: the Python Conquest can use RF signals for two purposes: to communicate with an airfield with Good (10) range (600 miles, give or take), and to track both opponents and the terrain with a powerful, 'Bogey' threat sensor, one that functions with Remarkable (30) effectiveness.
