In TFS, almost every aircraft has two modifications, with the PS-26 being the only exception.
Usually, aircraft receive a rescue modification first, such as the HC-400 and HC-130. However, the PS-26 unexpectedly received a military modification instead — the MS-26. This was especially surprising considering that the PS-26 is a seaplane.
Because of this, I think it would be a great idea to introduce a new modification for the PS-26 called the HS-26.
Here’s why it could be useful:
Currently, several aircraft are equipped with radars, but most of them are quite large. Even the E-42 isn't always practical for searching for Easter eggs hidden in rough or mountainous terrain.
I have also prepared a design for the HS-26:
Its main advantage would be its small size and low weight. This would make it much easier for players to search for Easter eggs in difficult terrain without constantly risking a crash — something that often happens when using larger aircraft. It would also reduce the need to eject from the E-42 simply because there isn't enough space to land.
After all, Easter eggs are often hidden in hilly or mountainous areas where landing an E-42 can be extremely difficult. The HS-26 would solve this problem by being much more maneuverable and easier to land in confined areas.
Additionally, since the Ps-26 is a seaplane, the HS-26 would retain the ability to land on water, which could be especially useful when searching for Easter eggs located near rivers, lakes, or other bodies of water.
Overall, the HS-26 could provide a much smaller, more versatile alternative to the E-42 for Easter egg hunting while also making better use of the Ps-26's unique seaplane capabilities.
