Description
The Mecklen LK-3 'Messer' is Vauhgray's faction-exclusive fighter plane. The Messer's main appeal is its speed, which allows it to reach fights and intercept enemy pilots much quicker than most other aircraft. It also sports a dual machine gun armament that gives it a slightly quicker rate of fire than the Pycroft SC-6 'Triplex' and Attack Biplane

Mecklen LK-3 "Messer"
Vauhgray's Imperial Air Service possesses formidable amounts of aircraft at their disposal, but their strength has been challenged in recent years. The presence of newer fighter aircraft in air engagements against Bluvakian forces have resulted in unfavorable findings and shortcomings in contemporary Vauhgran fighters. The main issues found with Vauhgray fighter aircraft was their comparatively lower top speed compared to enemy aircraft of the same type. While a fundamentally new aircraft was not totally out of the question, such a time consuming endeavor was seen as unfavorable by Imperial high command, namely Kaiser Wulfric himself, who allegedly urged designers to "Fix the problem before those damned blue insects overwhelm our skies."
Premiere Vauhgray aircraft manufacturing company Mecklen set about modifying their existing Luft Krieg - "Air War" - series of fighters without a complete redesign of more sophisticated components, such as the engine. Some claim the stroke of genius came when some designers were throwing darts whilst at a creationary standstill, but such a eureka moment is definitely reflected in the finished design. The Mecklen LK-3 "Messer" -"Knife" - was named as such due to its ability to slice through the air thanks to its novel dart-like fuselage to increase maximum speed, range and fuel efficiency without any modification to the aircraft's power plant. This streamlined design language has since been adopted by Mecklen's subsequent aircraft designs, along with most other aircraft now in frontline use with the Imperial Air Service.
