 ===Prime===
-{{fluff|0.18.3}}
+The Corsair Prime variant is a superlative fighter, with one of the most dazzling arrays of Energy weapons in the skies. Lasers abound, starting with a pair of [[LL]] for long-range poking at 700m. Next come a pair of [[ML]] with a 500m range and more efficiency. Finishing off, a pair of tiny [[SL]] provide quick refresh at 400m. This is a high accuracy fighter that gets steadily more dangerous as it closes in, but only the [[ML]] and [[LL]] are safe to use against ground targets without undue risk of collision. [[GECM|Air GECM]] keeps a low profile, but 6 DHS will struggle to handle alpha strikes.

 The Corsair Prime variant is a capable Fighter, with one of the most dazzling arrays of Energy weapons in the skies. Lasers abound, starting at 800m with a pair of [[ERLL]], for longest range poking. Next come a pair of [[ERML]] for 650m engagement and more efficiency. Finishing off, a pair of tiny [[ERSL]] provide quick refresh at short range. This is a high accuracy Fighter that gets steadily more dangerous as it closes in, but only the  [[ERML|Air ERML]] and [[ERLL]] are safe to use against ground targets without risk of collision. [[GECM|Air GECM]] keeps a low profile, but 6 DHS will struggle to handle alpha strikes.

 ===Variant B - ''"Cobra"''===
 A different flavour of firepower from the A, the "'''''Cobra'''''" Fighter trades lead and missiles for pure Wattage. Primary weapons are a quartet of [[MXPL|Air MXPL]], delivering a constant stream of energy out to 600m. Backing this up is a [[NARC]] launcher with 2 [[free tons]], for some ground support capabilities, and [[BHP]] gives first class radar detection. While DPS is through the roof during a chase, on strafing runs performance is limited against ground targets. 4 DHS will cope with the heat in most circumstances.

 ===Variant D===
-The Corsair D Attacker-class aircraft carries area-denial weaponry; twin scatter-shot [[MRM20|Air MRM20]] launchers allow it sandblast the armor off enemy battlemechs and gib battlearmor, and twin [[Bomb#Cluster|Cluster bombs]] can damage entire formations with careful bombing. A pair of [[ERML|Air MXPL]] give it some token point defense. While it is relatively cheap aircraft, it is often more suited for dealing with slower targets that appear later in a match. [[GECM]] for easing on its radar signature.

-The Corsair E is the last Attacker-class aircraft similar to the "D" but mounting the longer range 2x [[UAC5|Air UAC5]] allowing it to strike out against Ground Units as well as Aero. Dual [[SSRM6|Air SSRM6]] means getting up close and personal while commencing your bombing run with Two [[Bomb|High-Explosive Bombs]]. Two [[Free ton|Extra Tons of Ammo]] an added [[DHS]] and 7.5 tons [[Armor]]. What more could a pilot ask for.
