The primary ''Vandal'' configuration is a high-speed reconnaissance vehicle, carrying a [[Beagle active probe]] with a pair of [[ER small laser]]s to give the pilot something to defend themselves with. The primary ''Vandal'' also carries an extra ton of fuel, which gives it the best endurance of any of the configurations.<ref name=TRO3055U178-179/><ref name=TRO3055-144-145/><ref name=TRO3055R130-131/>

==Alternate Configurations==
*; Alternate Configuration A : The A configuration carries a [[medium pulse laser]] in the nose, supported by an [[ER small laser]] on a pylon above each wing. The ''Vandal'' A is most often used to deliver a massive bomb load onto a target, approaching its target at supersonic speeds and at treetop height, delivering its payload before the defenders have time to react.

*; Alternate Configuration B : The B configuration mounts six [[ER small laser]]s, with two mounted in each wing and another pair directly below the cockpit. Because of the efficiency of its weapons, this version is most used for high-speed strafing.

*; Alternate Configuration C : The ''Vandal'' C is armed with three [[ER medium laser]]s mounted in the nose, making it usable in both ground-support and air superiority missions despite the limitations of its fuel reserve.

*; Alternate Configuration D : A recent variation based on the C configuration, the ''Vandal'' D switches from extended-range lasers to the newer [[heavy laser]]s, mounting a trio of [[heavy medium laser]]s in the nose.

*; Alternate Configuration E : Apparently intended for reconnaissance duties on [[Jihad]] battlefields, the ''Vandal'' E carries a pair of [[ER micro laser]]s in each wing. The [[Beagle active probe]] in the nose is augmented by two [[remote sensor dispenser]]s that deploy sensor pods as the fighter flies over battlefields.
