Template:Vehicles The A-20 Razorback is a ground attack plane in use by the United States Joint Strike Force.

Overview

The A-20 Razorback is essentially an F-22 fighter that has been up-armored to enhance survivability as a ground attack fighter. While the additional armor makes the A-20 less than ideal for dog fighting, it is a highly capable bomber and strike craft.[1]

In Game

Its weaponry used on selected targets varies by the Air Strike level you have. Note that airstrikes do not damage shields; they bypass shields and directly damage an enemy unit.

  • Air Strike 1 will result in A-20s bearing down on enemy forces with a gun run.
  • Air Strike 2 will have A-20s fire air-to-surface missiles.
  • Air Strike 3 will use laser-guided bombs, devastating to vehicles and infantry in a large radius.


Callsigns

A-20s are given callsigns when Air Strikes are launched, with their callsigns referring to violent attacks followed by "Leader":

  • Storm Leader
  • Strike Leader
  • Smash Leader

  • The A-20 looks remarkably similar to the F-22 Raptor, though its mission profile is drastically different (ground attack as opposed to air superiority).
