VF-19 Excalibur Variants

VFA-19A Assault-Calibur
The following stats are conversion notes that detail the changes from the base VF-19A Excalbur stats.

The VFA-19A is an airframe that is a VF-19A with supplemental armaments, and was developed for use in assaults on terrorist bases, support of rescue of important persons, and so on. The underside of the nose is supplementally equipped with the two-barrelled Mauler REB-33D laser gun turret, and the glove laser cannons have also been exchanged for the higher-output Mauler REB-35. Moreover, a greater electrical power can be supplied by making the engines the FF-2550J/rev.2, and by dropping the electrical power of the airframe to the very limit of maintaining the craft's functions, a pin-point barrier can also be deployed in fighter mode. For that reason, it becomes possible to penetrate a maximum of a shelter made of hyper-concrete by rushing into it in fighter mode with a pin-point barrier expanded on the nose and wing-edge. (By the end of 2050,) 36 planes are newly built, and 24 are made from modding the VF-19A.

The VFA-19A is mainly deployed to Special Combat Air Squadrons.

Variants:

DEFENSIVE SYSTEMS
HOWARD PBS-03F PIN-POINT BARRIER SYSTEM:
A Fighter-sized Pinpoint Barrier System. Even if destroyed by combined attacks, the shield will regenerate itself within 4 rounds. In order to use the shield, the pilot must make a successful parry roll to intercept an incoming attack. In addition, by dropping the electrical power of the airframe to the very limit of maintaining the craft's functions, a Pin-Point Barrier can also be deployed in Fighter mode. It becomes possible for the VFA-19A to penetrate up to a maximum of a shelter made of hyper-concrete by rushing into it in Fighter mode with the Pin-Point Barrier expanded on the nose and wing-edges.

OFFENSIVE SYSTEMS
    1. MAULER REB-33D LASER GUN TURRET (1):

    2. SEMI-FIXED MAULER REB-35 LASER GUNS (2):
    Two higher-output laser guns replace the laser guns mounted in the wing-roots of the VF-19.
    • RANGE: 5,000 m
    • DAMAGE: 1D8x10 MD
    • RATE OF FIRE: Single shots only. The laser guns can be fire-linked (does double damage).

OTHER STANDARD EQUIPMENT

FIRE CONTROL SYSTEM:
The following has changed: In air-to-air combat, the FCS is capable of tracking and identifying specific enemy targets, up to 48 targets on the ground and 125 targets in the air, while simultaneously devising and executing fire control solutions on up to 30 ground targets, or 10 aerial targets. The FCS has the following modes: wide-range search mode (using LADAR and IR), track mode (capable of tracking "plenty" of enemy craft, using IFF), ACM mode (capable of tracking more than 30 craft during high-G manuvers, and anti-warship mode (for use with the RMS-4 and other anti-ship missiles, using radar cross-sections).

VC-19V VIP-Calibur
The following stats are conversion notes that detail the changes from the base VF-19C Excalbur stats.

A special operations craft for the escort of important persons and rescue, that was developed based on the VF-19C. 90% of the transformation mechanisms and the fixed armaments have been removed, and the nose has been extended. G-proof seats for 5 people have been installed. within the enlarged dorsal spine. The VC-19C is used for such things as forcing it's way through disputed regions of space while carrying important persons, the rescue of important persons who have been abducted, and so on. A total of 25 VF-19C that were produced in blocks 17 and 20 received remodelled into the VIP-Calibur at Shinsei Industry's L-7 Factory [Plant].
