The Accipiter is a multirole aircraft with VTOL capabilities.
Gameplay[]
The Accipiter's six hardpoints can mount a large payload of bombs, rockets, and/or gunpods. It can accommodate four Medium Gunpods and two Canister Gunpods in total, a larger gun loadout than any aircraft except the Sk.25U and the SP-34R.
It can also slow to zero speed without stalling, although speeds below 10 knots will sink it during level flight and you must point its nose upwards to maintain altitude.
Skins[]
- Gray body with mercenary and Monarch markings.
- Blue marine camouflage with orange linings on hardpoints, tail, nose, and cockpit outlines, Federation Navy markings. Seen throughout the campaign.
- Black body with red outlines on hardpoints, wings, tail, nose, and cockpit.
- Skin 03 but white and green.
Notable Units[]
- Wonder - Conquest mode only. Kickstarter boss squadron, seven members.
History[]
During the Cascadian Conflict, the Federation sortied at least six Accipiters into the Bering Strait at the time of Operation Guillotine. All of them were shot down.[1]
Conrad Security operated six Accipiters at Harkema Industrial Park guarding the facility. Likewise, all of these jump jets were shot down by Sicario's Hitman Team in a raid.[2]
Trivia[]
- The aircraft is named after a genus of birds, Accipiter (part of the Accipitridae family), which includes harriers.
- Due to the fact that your wingmen are scripted to follow you, slowing the Accipiter down to hovering will result in a somewhat comical sight of your wingmen, and sometimes even AWACS Galaxy, hovering behind you.
