There isn’t a TON of differences but wings and drone placement are different. The engines also got some fin upgrades. The missile racks also got an overhaul. Couple those changes with all the new weapon options and I think we have a winner!

What’s your take? Like the new Barracuda AX-5-2 or do you prefer the old one?
