Description: The A-20 Banshee Fighter Bomber was developed in parallel with the F-98 Phantom Heavy Fighter. Both designs share the same hull and the same cockpit layout. The Banshee was a turning away from traditional fighter bomber design since it didn't have a turret at the rear for self defense. The ship rather relied on its own built in radar jammers and ecm-equipment. Armament consisted of a black hole generator cannon and nightmare torpedoes.
