Overview
A heavy class conventional fighter, the ILL-I4 has been designed for close combat support by the Russian Defense Ministry on Bryant. A design that was developed in the Tukinov Republic, the failure of that nation almost spelled the end of the design. However, the blue prints survived and now, the last hold out of Russian nationalism on Bryant, has begun production of this unit as an effective and complimentary system to the MechBuster fighter of Kurita fame.
Capabilities
The Illusions performance depends more on busting and exploiting armor rather then hammering it down such as the MechBuster does. The LB 10x AC is a well designed weapon that grants the Illusion the capability to inflict serious damage against an opponent, and then exploit those weaknesses with small cluster munitions.
However, the cluster munitions also give the Illusion the capability of air superiority that would not seem possible to a conventional fighter. Filling the air with cluster munitions makes it very hard for enemy pilots, even aerospace fighter pilots, to fly their fighters. As the small bullets rip holes and damage their armor, flying becomes harder. Enough Illusions flying escort to a unit can be enough to scare off even the bravest of aerojocks.
The secret to the Illusion's success is that the machine carries enough fuel to stay in the air as long as the pilot is awake, as well as enough armor to absorb damage from the heaviest weapons on the field to any location. Add to that ammazing armor and fuel the ability to fly and land anywhere, and the Illusion becomes one of the deadliest machines in the air.
Deployment
Currently small number of Illusions are deployed with the Imperial Russian Air Force on Bryant. A small number have arrived at the Imperiums long time allies, New Home. More are expected to be delivered throughout the Chaos March.
