Tiger Shark AX-1-0

The Tau Tiger Shark A-X-10 fighter-bomber is a new, experimental variant of the standard Tiger Shark aircraft. It was developed in response to encounters with the Imperium of Man's Titans, and through field tests, has proved extremely effective. It is armed with Twin-linked Heavy Railguns as a main weapon. These Heavy Railguns are a much more powerful version of the normal Railguns mounted on Tau Hammerheads gunships and XV88 Broadside Battlesuits, and are usually mounted on the Manta. It is also armed with a Twin-linked Missile Pod, and is sometimes armed with a networked Marker Light and Seeker Missiles, increasing its versatility so that forward Pathfinder Teams on scouting missions can use its missiles as long-range artillery support. The most notable example of its effectiveness came during the Taros Campaign. This campaign marked the first time the Imperium had encountered this experimental variant of the Tiger Shark, and during a single attack run, it used its Seeker Missiles to bring down the Void Shields of a Warhound-class Scout Titan. One salvo from the heavy railguns then punched through its midsection, causing it to fall and explode. After this, the other three Imperial Titans being used in the campaign were withdrawn from the front in case of another encounter.
