Full specifications
Performance
Speed, range, altitude and engagement capability.
- Effective range
Distance at which the weapon reliably hits point targets. Higher extends engagement envelope.

- Rate of fire
Rounds per minute (cyclic). Higher increases suppression and hit probability.

Firepower
Armament, payload and guidance.
- Main armament
Primary weapon: main gun, cannon or missile type.
