The Fairchild F611 Brigand is one of the most highly regarded heavy-fighter aircraft available today. Equipped with a powerful 16-cylinder engine, the Brigand has a high top speed, surprising agility for its weight, and impressive offensive capability. It has a reputation as reliable and effective, but also for poor fuel economy, quirky handling and a mediocre acceleration. The Brigand is short for its wingspan, and the uneven distribution of weight due to the heavy engine gives it particularly quirky handling characteristics.
