Roles[]
Intruder[]
- Main article: Fighter_Roles#Intruder
This is the MA18's main role. It is hardy and fast enough to quickly penetrate enemy airspace at short notice and reach difficult targets. It can change its role mid-mission, depending on the level of the enemy response. If need be, it can turn from intruder to "pathfinder" at a moment's notice.
Marine Interceptor[]
- Main article: Fighter_Roles#Marine_Interceptor
The M18 is secondarily a Marine Interceptor. Its ability to launch quickly from marine aircraft carriers and engage enemy aircraft makes it perfect for the role. It can also intercept enemy ships and torpedos, making low level flights above water if needed.
Anti-sub warfare[]
- Main article: Fighter_Roles#Anti-Sub
The MA18's powerful sensors allow it to track submarines if they are are close enough to the surface, and as such, it is able to track and destroy them from above water, and from a distance.
