While not advanced, it is reliable. The crew have ejection seats, but the aircraft is not capable of in- flight refueling. Twilight 2000 v1, v2/2.2/ 2013 Stories: This aircraft gained more customers around the world as the Twilight War wore on, before shipping finally stopped. Twilight 2035/Merc 2000 Stories: The Pucara gained acceptance all around the world, as it was far less expensive than aircraft like the A-10. The US even bought about a squadron’s worth, supplementing their A-10s in actions which were less heavy in EW, AAA/SAM, and enemy aircraft.

Though it was presented as a contender for the US Joint Primary Training System competition, it lost in that competition to the European Hawk aircraft (which became the T-45 Goshawk), and never saw any other foreign sales. By the 2020, almost all Argentine pilots had received their initial jet training on the Pampa. It is an economical aircraft to operate, but has only rudimentary avionics. Twilight 2000 v1 Notes: The Pampa does not exist in the Twilight 2000 v1 timeline. Twilight 2000 v2/2,2 Notes: A new aircraft in the Twilight 2000 2/2,2 timeline, the Argentines had only 12 of them in service at the beginning of the Twilight War. None were built after the beginning of hostilities, with production shifting primarily to the Pucara and an Argentine copy of the Mirage III. Twilight 2013 timeline: Though some were retained at the rear area airbases for primary training, many Argentine pilots using the Pampa were essentially getting OJT. And thus the Pampa did not have a good combat record, This is not because of the aircraft, but the inexperience of the pilots. Twilight 2035 Notes: Due to early Pucara losses, the Pampa took up the slack in the ground support role. They were modified to use almost all air weapons in the Argentine inventory, from GPS-guided SDBs to 30mm cannon pods. Merc 2000 Notes: The Pampa was the primary jet trainer for the Argentine Air Force, and was also sols across South and to an extent Central America, Price Fuel Type Load Veh Wt Crew Mnt Night Vision Radiological $338,029 AvG 1.55 tons 2.82 tons 2 12 None Enclosed Tr Mov Com Mov Mnvr/Acc Agl/Turn Fuel Cap Fuel Cons Ceiling Armor 1674 419 (100) NA 113 8/5 80/50 1300 694 12900 FF4 CF4 RF4 T3 W4 Combat Equipment Minimum Landing/Takeoff Zone RF Armament Ammo Radar Warning Receiver, Flare/Chaff Dispensers 890/565m Hardened Runway +2 5 Hardpoints None file:///E/My%20Webs/aircraft/argentine_attack_aircraft.htm[5/28/2021 7:55:50 AM] British Attack Aircraft Buccaneer Notes: This was one the first British jet carrier aircraft. When Britain went to the smaller carriers with Harriers, the Buccaneers were relegated to land bases, usually as anti-ship planes, and then were eventually phased out. They were also operated by South Africa, usually in the long-range strike role, but were also phased out by that country. The Buccaneer has an internal bomb bay, unusual for an aircraft of its size; this bay can hold 1.81 tons or 2040 liters of fuel. The aircraft has ejection seats and is capable of in- flight refueling. Twilight 2000 v1 Notes: Buccaneers became a primary long-range attack platform, as numbers of Tornados were lower than expected in the RAF due to the withdrawal of Italy from NATO and the need to replace German Tornado losses early in the Twilight War. Twilight 2000 v2.2 Notes: Buccaneers were also used against land targets in the Twilight War, though by that war they were largely replaced by Tornadoes and were operated only in a secondary role or to replace Tornado losses. South Africa also used some of these aircraft in the Twilight War. Twilight 2013 Notes: Buccaneers were out of service by 2013, though the British scraped up six for duty in the Twilight War, and South Africa managed to put two in the air for duty. Twilight 2035 Notes: Buccaneers were for the most part museum pieces or rusted, picked-over hulks by 2035, though the RAF managed to scare up enough intact airframes and parts and avionics to put one in the air in 2036. (This Buccaneer, however, was shot down within weeks after beginning to conduct missions.)

Its low-power engine does not lend itself to speed, maneuverability, or lifting power, and its lack of an afterburner does not give it good acceleration. However, it is a decent ground attack aircraft, and its four 30mm cannons pack quite a punch. The Hunter has the rare ability to fire only half its cannons at a time, if desired, usually done to save ammunition when attacking soft targets or to load different guns with different types of ammunition. Though the aircraft has a lot of hardpoints, eight of these may only be used for rocket pods or single rockets, with a load limit of 100 kg per hardpoint; if these hardpoints are used, the two center wing hardpoints may not be used. If the two center hardpoints are used, the eight rocket hardpoints may not be used. Twilight 2000 v1/v2/v2,2: The Hunter’s primary playground during the Twilight War was the Middle East; they were taken out of storage by several Middle Eastern countries during that war to replace aircraft losses Twilight 2013: Most Arab Air Forces have replaced their Hunters with newer aircraft, and the remaining hunters sit idle, awaiting their call… Twilight 2035: Hunters are found in museums or bombing ranges, long having been replaced by up-to-date aircraft, Merc 2000: Another non-descript aircraft used by mercs, Price Fuel Type Load Veh Wt Crew Mnt Night Vision Radiological $712,318 AvG 2.54 tons 8.35 tons 1 14 None Enclosed Tr Mov Com Mov Mnvr/Acc Agl/Turn Fuel Cap Fuel Cons Ceiling Armor 2250 563 (150) NA 141 7/4 70/40 1800 4523 16155 FF5 CF4 RF4 T4 W4 Combat Equipment Minimum Landing/Takeoff Zone RF Armament Ammo None 1200/800m Hardened Runway +2 4x30mm Aden, 14 Hardpoints 1200x30mm BAC Strikemaster Notes: This light strike aircraft was developed from a jet trainer known as the Jet Provost.
