Reintroducing the NightHawk


After Mod


Thanks to some helpful criticism from the Grand Admiral, I sat down and revised the NightHawk.
Originally I felt it was maybe “too futuristic” for Crimson Skies, and while the changes didn’t blunt the sharp eges of the ship much, if Gil Shaws sweet little Arctic Guardian fits into CS, I think the NightHawk does too.

Whatever the case, I like the plane better than I did before, AND it’s even more swooshable!

The main changes:
•Different guns
•Removed the rear “rudders”
•Added the extended and moveable “wingtips”
•Toned down the missiles
•Moved the headlights slightly
•Redesigned the drop tanks
•Altered the landing gear

PLMKWYT,
