It's because everything about that plane is awesome.
I really can't argue with that. That is one serious aircraft.
Let's see...
Small arms: Selective fire A4, with the ACOG or Reflex sights, and a Surefire light mounted. No to the forestock, I don't like 'em.
Light support weapons: One of those new grenade launchers with the five-round rotating cylinder mag woiuld be cool. I forget the name/designation. Indirect fire capacity = good. A SAW would be awesome too.
Supporting Indirect fire: A mid-range mortar battery.

Those Metalstorm multibarrel versions are intresting... I haven't checked lately to see how that prototype stuff is coming along.
Air support: well, I can't argue with the A10 Warthog, but if I had my wish I'd go with Tashah's Triad.
Antique weaponry: A "long rifle", black powder muzzle-loader. Flintlock, not percussion-cap. Traditional, not in-line. Set-trigger. Handmade with the fancy brass fittings. I got to shoot one belonging to a bud once... way cool. A wheellock pistol. Gatling gun.
A spanish cup-hilted rapier with matching main-gauche dagger. A German greatsword with ball-pommel, and a matching set of early-Renaissance-era light field plate. A two-handed warhammer, the kind with the armor-piercing pick... or perhaps a hauberk of riveted maille with coif. :mrgreen:
