This design definitely goes in a different direction than the previous aircraft. The Scythe is all about altitude, range, payload, heavy firepower at unbelieveably logn ranges, and speed-speed-speed --- over Mach 3, in fact.
Stealth capability? Bah! This jet has multiple overlapping jammers, and if that fails, just point your nose the other way and light up the 'cans; nothing can catch it at speed and altitude. You can get away with almost anything in a plane like this, so it's perfect for pilots who want to be bad!

This has a serious aura of Dale Brown's Dreamland going on (look up "Flight of the Old Dog" if you don't know what I'm talking about). I can see ol' Pat McLanahan strapping this one on and going on some officially unauthorized mission that nobody'll ever hear about. :P Nice work. :)
I'm not really sure what it means to be "Muck", but I have played Air Force Delta Srtike... to DEATH. The only aircraft I have never been able to unlock is the Sea Vixen --- I have all the rest!
As for supplying you with an operational Type 310 Scythe, I don't think the FAA will let me...

'Muck' is the nickname of Browns Pat McLanahan. You really should give Brown's books a shot, he has a lot of things you would be interested in, like the title character of 'Flight Of The Old Dog'. A super-modified B-52, out-fitted with air-to-air radar and missles, a cannon in the tail which fires 'Stinger' missiles, and a radar-jamming stealth system.
I'm not too keen on pulp novels --- the guys who write them are too far removed from the realities of war, such as the fact that if you rig a B-52, which does one thing very well ---deliver tons of ordnance to distant targets --- to do a lot of things, it won't be very effective at any of them.
The all-encompassing "Multi-Role replacement-for-everything" paradigm is flawed, in that it puts an unsustainably large workload on what inescapably ends up being a very, very small number of airframes.You would either have to perform less missions less often, or spead your forces far and thin to make up for not having enough specialised airframes.

Well, Dale Brown flew '52s and '111s for along time in the Air Force, so he knows his stuff.
And in the books, the 'Megafortress' isn't a do-all, its' designed to beself-defending, harder to kill bomb-truck. I just thought ya might like a few of his toys, is all.
