Recognition notes
The Lightning LTN-G15b is a 50-ton fighter flown as a dogfighter, built on an XL engine in place of the LTN-G14's fusion plant and wrapped in ferro-aluminum armor rather than the primitive plating of that first model. The nose autocannon/10 is gone, replaced by a Gauss rifle alongside the nose medium laser carried over from the LTN-G14. Each wing now carries a medium pulse laser next to a medium laser, doubling the weapons per wing over the single medium laser the LTN-G14 mounted on each side, and the aft medium laser continues unchanged. Ten double heat sinks cool the type, down in count from the LTN-G14's thirteen single heat sinks despite the greater cooling capacity of the doubles. Tengo Aerospace builds it at Sarna.
