Me-272

The Me-272 was a primitive jet that was the Garry's Mod Alliance Pact (GMAP)'s main jet. It had limited maneuverability so it was outclassed by other jets. However, due to its variety of weapons, it proved useful for strafing runs on ground-based enemies and structures, which is why it was used in the EI - GMAP War.
==Design==
The Me-272's arsenal consisted of two 30mm heavy machine guns, two air-to-air AIM-9 missiles, and 40mm flares. The jet itself seemed to be hovering and powered by wiremod thrusters. On its underside, there was a flap that could be used to slow it down if needed. It also had landing gear that would automatically deploy once near the ground. Although many of its weapons and thrusters provided much firepower and speed, the Me-272 could not steer well. Tracking or evading other aircraft would have been very difficult to do for that reason.
==History==
The Me-272 began it's service in 2016, when it was provided to the nation known as New Germania by an engineer. It was given the official designation of Me-272, and saw service in several battles, mostly during the late 2016-early 2017 stages. It briefly saw combat in the Second Novoslav War, FMC War, and various other skirmishes, where it proved to be decent enough for the time. Since the dissolution of the first New Germanian group, it was shelved for a year, before being given out to GMAP after GKR's membership was confirmed. From there, it saw service in the EI - GMAP War as a multinational jet with subpar combat capabilities, but managed to do the job from time to time. Since the hiatus of the original GMAP, the fighter still sees action with the original member states as a close air support vehicle, further extending it's service life far beyond the original expectation and design.
