Exactly but with some with some special upgrades which make it more like 21st Century close in armored flying artillery & miniguns. More firepower than an AC-130 gunship. Half the payload of a B-36 Peacemaker. Twice the armor and flight controls of a A-10. Way more engine power, much quieter, and slower stall speeds. Bigger bathtub :) Avionics with an R-2 unit. Along with advanced mission capabilities/capacity. Price and dev time = about twice the cost, and 1/10th the time.
