Featured in Battlefield 1942: Secret Weapons of WWII, the Natter is a fighter jet issued to the German Elite Forces. It has one position and fires four rockets at a time. It is lightly armored and won't survive concentrated small arms or anti-aircraft fire, though this is offset by the Natter's sheer speed and maneuverability. It is best used against ground targets.
Unlike conventional aircraft, it takes off from a special launching unit. Once launched, it will maintain flight until its fuel runs out (a couple of minutes) and will then slowly start to descend. It cannot be landed properly, so it is advised to eject the plane and parachute to safety. It has a Rocket launcher with 20 rockets, which can be fired without stopping. It has very little health, and is vulnerable to AA guns, Machine guns and even pistols can destroy it in one clip.
