Transcript from Harper & Wolff Aerospace
Harper & Wolff, we bring good things to life!
Flying low and steady over the world of Pinard is a new threat my Pirate friends.
Thats right. Harper & Wolff Aerospace, a newly organized defense contracter of the Taurian Concordat, announced today the unveiling of their first offer into self defense: The F/FB-6H Heron.
Based on the successful F/FB-1X Heron, built by hand by Linus Harper and Simon Wolff, the F/FB-6H Heron is an entirely new form of Conventional Attack Aircraft designed to fill the roll of both Fighter and Fighter Bomber.
This beauty is designed with the latest weapons and equipment developed by the top scientists within the Concordat. Thick armor and readily availble weapon suites guarantee this fighter a place on the battlefield for a long time.
Reliable. Dependable. These are the code words of Harper & Wolff.

Overview
The Heron was designed by scientists within the Taurian Concordat to provide powerful and deadly, yet cheap, fire support. Based off of the successful Rocket Launcher weapon systems, the Bomb Cluster weapon system seemed to be answer that was needed, and the Heron was built around carrying enough bombs to make any attacking force have a hard time.
With two SRM launchers and two heavy miniguns, the Heron is also capable of limited air superiority roll, but is actually lightly armed compared to aerospace fighters. However, the overwhelming numbers of Heron's that can be thrown into a fight usually makes up for that loss.
Althoug the rugged design allows it to take off from any flat field or road, it still needs a lot of room to get airborn. As such, the Heron is not as flexable as a Guardian or VTOL, but still performs well enough to earn it the respect of her enemies.

Thats the point  its a defensive fighter, it doesn't need speed to race to a battle, and in a dogfight it has them outgunned. GRR!
So you like?

Need to look it up but I think you can put only as much armor in tons as is your internal structure. This is why conventional aerospace has always been so fragile. It was 16 pts per ton, and the locations are cockpit, fuselage, right and left wing, and I think tail. Cockpit has a max of 16 pts. I am doing this off of memory but I use to make a ton of conventional fighters to mess with the PCs.
AWAD- Nothing like a conventional fighter with hordes of SRMs to go after wounded mechs
