Kalran: Tales of the four nations/Bucky

"Ready to soar!"

-A Bucky ready to takeoff

The Bucky is the basic Multirole fighter of UCAAF. Planned to be voiced by Kelly Baskin.

Tactical analysis

 * Jack of all on wings: Feared by any ground units that oppose the UCA, the Bucky is one of the best multirole attack aircraft in any inventory. Its gatling cannon can tear through tanks and heavy infantry like tracing paper and if it still survives the EMP/MDP pulse it delivers will leave the vehicle briefly stunned
 * Destroyer of swarms: Aircraft should also be wary of the Bucky as the plane also carries anti-air airburst rockets that explode into clouds of shrapnel that rips apart swarms of thin-skinned aircrafts
 * Discretion is the better part of valor: While the Bucky is well armored, the nature of its mission exposes it to a wide range of enemy threats. When the situation gets too hot, the pilot can activate their emergency afterburner and return to base. Allowing the Bucky to attack targets in heavily defended areas and then quickly exit the area before being overwhelmed by return fire
 * We need more ammo: But the Bucky's cannon is made for single target only, and is overkill for lighter vehicles and light infantry. Meaning that massed anti-air vehicles pose a threat, and their rockets, despite their powerful area of effect, lacks the power to punch through heavier aircraft armor, meaning heavy interceptors are a problem, and being built from the Levitation Pad also means it suffers from limited ammunition storage for both rounds, requiring the pilot to return back to reload and unable to fight back until rearmed

Rank upgrades
Experienced: Unit now buffs surround Barnes and gains increased health

Veteran: Unit gatling cannon now deals line damage and gains 2 EMP/MDP anti-vehicle rockets

Heroic: Units attacks now deals more attack per salvo and debuffs target and surrounding aircrafts attack range and speed

Ace: Doubles units ammo capacity, gives weapons splash damage, and unit is now armed with 2 HMGs, which has unlimited ammo and effective against infantry

Trivia

 * The Bucky is based off the A-10 Thunderbolt "warthog"
 * Speaking of which, when in Silly mode, the Bucky pilot will imitate the famous A-10's firing sound.
