0312 Raven Nose Art

Couldn't think of a name this time. More fanart for Beagle and his excellent XCOM: Long War series Live and Impossible, this time nose art for one of XCOM Asia's Raven interceptors.

A reliable source told me that while the new XCOM games do not go into detail about the exact characteristics of the Avalanche missile, the original XCOM: UFO Defense explicitly stated that the Avalanche was derived from the AIM-54 Phoenix missile, modified with GAR-11 nuclear warheads. The stated performance capabilities also corroborate this, with a range almost identical to that of the real-world Phoenix missile. Hence, the designation "AIM-54C-7", one that was never used for real Phoenix missiles before they were retired.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown, XCOM: Enemy Within, and XCOM: Long War do not belong to me.
