Kalran: Tales of the four nations/Bucky

"Ready to soar!"

-A Bucky ready to takeoff

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 anti-tank rockets makes short work of all but the most heavily armoured vehicles, with magnetic enchantments ensuring each bomb hit their mark, while its anti-air airburst rockets can handle 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 rockets unable to track infantry, who can easily dodge it, and with its round made for single target means that massed anti-air vehicles poses a threat, and their rockets lacks the power to punch through heavier aircraft armor, meaning heavy interceptors are a problem, and being built from the airfield 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
 * Joint strike: Experienced Bucky pilots are well versed when it comes to operating in tandem with Barnes, and will do whatever they can to support their fellow pilots, so that Barnes pilots can fight more effectively. While the pilots are given an upgraded versions of the Bucky, replacing its rack of bombs and grenades with the powerful GAU "buzzsaw" gatling cannon and "maelstrom" micro rocket batteries. These new weapons tears through infantry and tank armour like paper and destroys masses of small aircrafts with ease, although like with the rockets, ammunition stores for both are limited, and being recently produced means its numbers are limited, meaning that only aces can fly these new planes

Ace upgrade
Unit now buffs surround Barnes. And replaces bombs with gatling cannon, which is more effective against infantry and holds more rounds, and rockets now deals more attack per salvo and debuffs target and surrounding aircrafts attack range and speed

Trivia

 * The Bucky is based off the A-10 Thunderbolt "warthog", especially once it gets its ace upgrade
