The Thunderbolt is equipped with a gunsight allowing for target lock-on,{{Fn|13h}} an [[auspex]]{{Fn|13a}} that includes a lock-on warning and collision warning system,{{Fn|13b}} electric autoloaders for the autocannons,{{Fn|13g}} a gun-cam,{{Fn|13d}} a [[vox]] linked to other aircrafts and mission control{{Fn|13e}}, a rear [[pict|pict unit]]{{Fn|13g}} and afterburners.{{Fn|13j}}
The Thunderbolt also has vector-nozzles, allowing it move in a non ballistic way by shifting sideways, nearly turning end-on-end,{{Fn|13b}} braking up- or downwards during flight,{{Fn|13h}} coming almost to a standstill,{{Fn|13f}} or turning forward momentum into a gentle hover.{{Fn|13c}} The vector thrust system also allows the Thunderbolt to perform vertical takeoff and landing-operations both downwards{{Fn|13c}} and upwards{{Fn|13e}} by swivelling the nozzles to vertical.{{Fn|13c}}
The Thunderbolt can be modified for better night-fighting by mounting black, antler-like antennae arrays on the nose.{{Fn|13c}} It can also be modified, if necessary, to have its weapons controlled by a voice-activator,{{Fn|13i}} allowing for weapons switching and firing by voice-command.{{Fn|13k}}
