This jet is very heavy and versatile. | |||
'''Additional Notes''' | |||
The Firehawk VTOL fast attack jet is a new GDI weapon system combining AI programming and human piloting skills. The jet possesses a dynamically unstable airframe that requires computer control to stay in flight. However, it is capable of quickly altering the course and speed of the craft, making it an excellent air superiority fighter. The embedded AI functions as a highly sophisticated targeting system, threat assessment and tracking module as well as weapon control and navigation. The pilot interfaces with the AI, allowing him to truly dominate the skies. | The Firehawk VTOL fast attack jet is a new GDI weapon system combining AI programming and human piloting skills.

Firehawk attack jets have variable weaponry, and commanders can choose between two highly destructive Hellcat firebombs or four Rattlesnake missiles, allowing it to act both as the ruler of skies or the messenger of death to ground forces and installations. It's slight disadvantage is that it requires an airfield to operate, as it has a limited weapon load. | Firehawk attack jets have variable weaponry, and commanders can choose between two highly destructive Hellcat firebombs or four Rattlesnake missiles, allowing it to act both as the ruler of skies or the messenger of death to ground forces and installations.

The fighter can also be upgraded with stratosphere navigation systems and special stratofighter boosters, allowing it to move much faster through the battlefield (by traveling through the stratosphere) and engage targets where they least expect it. With the boosters the Firehawk can ascend to such a high altitude, and at such great speed, that it is untouchable by enemy anti-aircraft weaponry. The immense heat generated by this boost means that the pilot must wait a short period of time before he can utilize the Firehawk's boosters again. With proper planning, a Commander can have Firehawks utilize their boosters pummel targets across a battlefield with impunity, then return them home in the same manner without retaliation | The fighter can also be upgraded with stratosphere navigation systems and special stratofighter boosters, allowing it to move much faster through the battlefield (by traveling through the stratosphere) and engage targets where they least expect it.

They are very notable in Albania. | ||
'''Counters''' | |||
Use anything that can shoot it down. ITs bombs are not as effective as the Vertigos bombs. | |||
