AbOUT

The Tigershark was one of the playable starfighters in the computer game Wing Commander: Prophecy and was available for use in the early stages and often throughout the game.

The Tigershark was dubbed with the "multi-role" fighter title because of its technical specifications. The fighter is well suited for a number of assignments; from convoy or carrier escorts to offensives against enemy groups. Its speed, size, and mass made the fighter ideal for quick strikes and patrol assignments and its weapon arsenal was sufficient for offensives. A Tigershark is equipped with two laser cannons and two mass-driver guns as its front-mount weapon array. For its missile loadout, a Tigershark could hold two Image Recognition missiles, two Friend or Foe missiles, four heat-seeker missiles, and thirty-six unguided Dragonfly mini-rocket pods. With its weapon arsenal, technical specs, and Confed's newest technologies, the Tigershark is a worthy fighter that carries on the Hellcat V Medium fighter's legacy as an excellent mid-range fighter.
