The NA.23.1 “Lupo”

The conflict was no longer just the Constitutional Monarchy of Oceania and the People’s Union of Ihzair skirmishing over the Western Territories, but now a growing world war.

The smaller Repubblica Mercia had been supplying much-needed aviation fuel and explosive filler to Oceania, which Ihzair didn’t like so much, especially since the explosive filler turned into bullets which Oceanian aircraft fueled by the Mercian oil used to blow up stuff.

There wasn’t much Ihzair could do, being too busy fighting for the Western Territories, so they called their only ally, the Kingdom of the Diamond Coast, to deal with Mercia.

With the Diamond Coast abruptly entering the fighting and destroying their coastal Cities, Mercia knew they needed to get their military in shape. To better-equip themselves for bombing, the Mercian air command began talks with Northern Aviation to see if they could convert the A-23B-1, which was starting to gain fame.

Eager to fill every order to keep their new company going, Northern Aviation started work on the A-23C-1. It rolled off of the assembly lines in the dozens, carrying eighteen 100kg bombs and the removal of the two underwing pylons and replacement of the 40mm guns for the 20mm guns.

These A-23C-1s, known as the NA.23.1 in the Mercian military, were going to be used in the “light-bomber” role, only to be restricted to low-level and quick strikes on enemy infrastructure and columns of enemy armor due to the weak bombsight, short range, and a layout meant for quick attack runs, low altitudes, and maneuvering; not high altitudes and tanking through enemy flak across long distances.

It stayed in service until an actual bomber replaced it, and never gained fame anywhere close to its brothers and remains a little-known piece of the war.
