The Rage-Johnston F10 Wraith is a ground-attack aircraft in Just Cause (1).

Appearance

This plane is based on the Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II, with the cockpit taken from an AH-64A Apache.

The plane has four small bomb bays near the wing root, and a main bomb bay in the underbelly of the fuselage. Due to the lack of bombs in Just Cause, the outer bomb bays fire missiles. It has 2 seats, but you can never have a passenger. The pilot sits in the front seat. This is the only jet powered military aircraft in the game that cannot use its afterburners.

Performance

Despite it being a ground-attack aircraft, a skilled pilot can use it against any fighter plane. However, due to its huge wing-span and the width of the runways it would usually land on, it is especially hard to land. At low flying altitudes it seems to fly quite fast. It may be a realistic aircraft in terms of speed, but in comparison to other game planes, it's unrealistic for a plane with this wing design and purpose. Ground attack aircraft have wings like this, so they could fly slower than other planes in order for a accurate attack.

However, this plane's handling is a bit strange, with poor pitch control, but fast roll. However, due to its large wingspan, performing loops or similar tricks is almost suicidal when close to the ground. It does however make strafing runs on any object in water quite easy.

Strangely, it's one of the fastest Fixed-wing aircraft in the game, but it loses speed quickly in even a slight ascent and its poor pitch control does not help at all.

Weapons

• Missiles - Fires 3 at a time if they lock onto something, or 4 otherwise. Generally useful in dogfights for destroying most aerial threats in one missile volley.
• Machine-guns. There is one each side of the cockpit. These are pretty powerful.

Location

• Encarnación military base, in Encarnacion.

Trivia

• The F10's name parodies the name of the F-111 Aardvark and the F-117 Nighthawk, as it is designated F- for "Fighter", instead of A- for "Attacker".
• This plane is made by the fictional Rage-Johnston company.
• This is one of the two planes never deployed by the San Esperito Air Force. The other plane is the Rage-Johnston F6 Comet. It is also the rarest controllable aircraft in game.
• On the real plane that it is based on, those largest things in the wings contain the wheels. On this plane the wheels are in the plane's body and there's four of those big things, so it's unknown what they are.
• The modding community has discovered that this plane can have faction colors and symbols on it if required, yet the vehicle always spawns unmarked. This may be attributable to a developer oversight.
