| − | The '''Xerxes''' was a '''canceled''' [[Clan]] [[Aerospace]] fighter that could not be finished before the 0.7.0 final beta release.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | However, since development restarted, the Xerxes was released in the 0.8.3 patch in 2017. It supercedes the [[Visigoth]] as the heaviest [[Clan]] aerospace fighter by a large margin, as many variants of the Xerxes carry immense anti-ground firepower in the form of direct-fire weapons such as the air [[UAC20]] and a significant payload of bombs for finishing off damaged targets. In this regard, it is very similar to the [[Shiva]] - lethal to unwary ground units, yet helpless against enemy aerospace assets and an easy target for AA.

| |
| − | One of the deadliest aerospace fighters in [[MWLL]], the Prime variant makes use of two air [[UAC20]]s to deliver crushing firepower against any ground assets during a strafing run. The two [[CERLBL]]s provide some additional damage when lining up a pass, while the high explosive [[Bomb]]s are excellent for delivering the killing blow or for hitting targets trying to hide from the rain of shells.
| |

| |
| − | With its incredible firepower, this Xerxes is a player favorite, provided no opposing air cover is present.

| − | The Xerxes is an 85 ton second-line air supremacy Aerospace Fighter, nicknamed the ''Hunchback IIC of the skies''. Its main role was to bring down enemy aerospace quickly, its heavy armor allowing it to survive prolonged engagements against more agile assets, though it was also a deadly ground attack fighter capable of crippling Mechs. Designed by Clan Smoke Jaguar, the Xerxes mounts two [[UAC20]] on its wings and 2 [[ERLBL]], making it able to strip off enormous amounts of armor in a single pass. A squadron of Xerxes can easily bring destruction to any unit that managed to withstand its first strike. It also saw use in space battles, where its immense array of weapons could tear away the main armor of DropShips with other fighters finishing what was left. After the annihilation of Clan Smoke Jaguar, Clan Hell's Horses captured the factory where the Xerxes was being built, leading to a variant mounting two ERLBL and two [[Gauss]] Rifles.
