#Mechbuster (Sniper)

Sometimes you just need to saturate an area with fire.
A variant of the classic MechBuster, this little conventional aircraft trades the AC20 for a Sniper Artillery Cannon. Paired with the 10 ton bomb load, this little guy can dish out plenty of area damage on fly-bys and will absolutely ruin conventional infantry, defensive emplacements, and clustered units.
However, it retains the MechBuster's incredibly thin armor and even gives up a ton of fuel, restricting it to very short range excursions and defensive postings.
It also retains the MechBuster's ultra-cheap price tag, coming in at a mere $973k and 246 BV.

That's pretty impressive
You'd probably have to use external fuel tanks, though
External fuel tanks, by the way, are probably why fuel is not required for a design to be legal

External fuel tanks would be wise, yeah, but that would take away from the bomb load. Still - a fair exchange and a bit flexible dependent on what range is needed.
