Design

An aircraft produced by a heavy industry corporation at the request of the Japanese Self-Defense Force. Since Azuma's purpose was not specified in the construction blueprints, the aircraft was built as an all purpose unit. As a result, it can be depended on to perform well in all areas of combat.

However, this versatility could also be considered its weakness. With no real specialization, the aircraft lags behind the foreign made Fighting Thunder in some areas. This aircraft, as with many Japanese models, primarily focuses on excellent maneuverability. Quick as a lightning strike, this aircraft's combat style has earned it the nickname "Azuma", meaning lightning bolt.
