CF-180B Avro Nika Fighter Jet Stealth Military Colours RCAF

The CF-180 Avro Nirliq is a fictional fifth generation fighter jet created by Avro Canada, as part of a programme to develop jets for the nations of CANZUK. It comes in two variants: The CF-180A “Nirliq,” the all purpose version, and the CF-180B “Nika,” the carrier based version. Both names mean “Canada Goose” in one of the languages spoken by some of the Indigenous peoples of Canada, the former being in Inuktitut, and the latter being in Ojibwe. Planes used in British service are referred to as “Gwydd,” the Welsh word for goose. The Government of Canada awarded the contract to build a new fifth generation fighter jet to Avro Canada in late 2005, after the success of the first prototype. The CF-180A Nirliq officially entered service in mid 2014, while the CF-180B Nika was made available by the end of that year. By the time World War 3 broke out in 2030, there were around 1,000 of these jets in service, with about 250 in Canada, 280 in Australia, 150 in New Zealand, 300 in the United Kingdom, and 20 in South Africa.

Current KDR: 3.5

*If you take out any enemies or your aircraft is taken down, please tell me on my discord server or in the comments so that I may add the stats to the spreadsheet. If an aircraft is lost in a non combat situation, please indicate this and whether or not the aircraft was recoverable, even if only partly (If half of the plane is mostly undamaged, please indicate it as half or ½ or 0.5, and indicate which part of the plane remains). Also indicate the in-game price and mass of the vehicle if possible, otherwise estimate. Please indicate what variant of the aircraft was used if possible.*

Startup Procedure

Turn on electronics (Flip switch located on the left side of the cockpit)
Turn the throttle up to around 30 rps (Arrow buttons located on the left side of the cockpit)
Turn on the engine starter (Flip switch located on the right side of the cockpit)
Wait for the engine to fire up
Turn the throttle up to the maximum of 190 rps
Turn the brakes off using the hotkey indicated on the seat (4)(There is an indicator at the back right that shows whether the brakes are on or not)
Use the up and down arrow keys to change how much thrust is output (Recommended max for quick takeoff)

It is suggested you do not pitch down right before firing a missile. Doing this will blow up in your face. I'll see if it's possible to fix.

I will probably go back to working on the Bremerhaven’s wreck and the Prydain Fawr after I’m done with these jets. I might choose to build an aircraft carrier.

*Search and Destroy DLC needed for the missiles and autocannons*
