EDITOR’S NOTE: The gameplay audio was a bit over-tuned in this video. I’ve identified the issue and have corrected it in future videos. Closed Captions are recommended if you struggle to hear dialogue.
In this video, we take a detailed look at the F-99 Shrike aircraft mod by Arix for Nuclear Option, a dedicated rapid-response interceptor engineered to scramble quickly from forward airfields. Bearing a superficial resemblance to the F-18 Hornet, the Shrike trades multi-role capability for raw twin-engine acceleration and blistering vertical climb rates.

I love loading this thing up with gravity bombs and doing tree-top attack runs at mach plaid. The air defense laser cannot intercept your cruise missiles if you are the cruise missile.
Reminds me of the Taiwanese indigenous fighter
Aryx weapon pack = Fuel Tanks and additional ground options, plus it wouod give you the opportunity to make your first MULTI-AIRFRAME Long-Play.
Also, the Torpedo mod means it can be a strong naval threat, and since the torpedo balance is their ludicrously low speed, the Sbrike's high speed is even more valuable.
I note you have a CBO-400. Interesting. Haven't seen that specifically by itself.
Would be interested in seeing which mod that canes from.
Hey man! Just wanted to say that I love your video style, no over the top editing, you just explain & show how these aircraft work.
It's perfect. Keep doing this!!
So basicaly it is the YF-17
17:20 that Ifrit kill was clean. 🙌🏻
With the weapons pack it's actually a pretty great ground attacker for quickly striking hvt's or if you equip the bomblet deployer thing you can actually attack columns, sure, you don't get a lot of hardpoints, but you can land and rearm really quickly on this thing, I kinda love the gameplay of it.
Aryx should probably make the front lg collapse on grass though, that's kinda busted imo.
The new aryx weapon mod can make the F-99 more flexible, because it's add a fuel tank to the aircraft! So you could fly longer and further!
DryHeatAndSand: makes a lobg play tutorial on the shrike
Shrike fuel tank: no long flights here mate!
Just what I wanted
