Background

The YF-33 begain when the UN Spacy asked DOOLWATT Insustries to create a Variable Fighter candidate that would help the VF-19 to replace the VF-11 Thunderbolt. DoolWatt began designing the fighter immediately and after the initial design failed aerodynamically, DoolWatt then redesigned it. The YF-33 was designed in early 2048 and was built and tested at and around Dumersq test facility in Dumeresq shire, NSW, Australia, Earth. When the YF-33 was trasported to NEW EDWARDS AIRBASE the engines too powerful and a pilot was killed in the use of the orignal test mecha, after having a new engine placed on a new prototype (the YF-33 Tango-one II)more testing begain.

When the winner is found it will be use by the UN Spacy for the Defence of Earth and will fill up the ranks of most fighter squadrons as

NOTES:

1.Destroying the head of the YF-33 will knock out the mecha's major sensor systems, including all of the optics systems (infrared, nightvision, thermal). Radar and communications will be unaffected.

2.Depleting the MDC of the main body will destroy the mecha. The pilot and cockpit section/escape pod will be automatically ejected from the doomed fighter before it explodes by the mecha's main computer.

3.The pinpoint barrier shield regenerates at a rate of 50 MDC per round. Even if completely destroyed the shield will regenerate within 2 melee rounds. The shield is usually generated on the right arm of the YF-33.

1.ANTI-AIRCRAFT LASERS : The  YF-33 is equipped with head lasers similar to
those used on the old VF-1 Valkyrie for use in air combat skirmishes and other defensive purposes. The four lasers are mounted on the head of the mecha in soldier mode, and is located at the front of the mecha's cockpit in fighter and gerwalk modes. Unlike the lasers mounted on the VF-11, these lasers can be turned to point in front of,
above, or behind the mecha in fighter and gerwalk modes.
