In the Universal Century of the anime Mobile Suit Gundam, the Dopp Fighter is the Principality of Zeon's only fighter aircraft in use during the One Year War. Zeon's Gaw Atmospheric Attack Carrier could eight of the Dopp Fighters.
The Dopp is a relatively weak fighter aircraft. The twin 20mm Vulcan guns are far too weak to peirce a mobile suit's armor. Only the the missiles from the 6-tube missile launchers could pose a threat to a mobile suit. However, those missiles launchers could only pose a very little threat to a mobile suit.
The Dopp Fighter was designed to attack the Earth Federation's naval ships, land battleships, and other fighter aircraft. They were smaller and faster than Zeon's Zaku II when on the ground. A Dopp was more likely to get an attack in on the Federation's Big Tray-Class Land Battlehsip and not get hit or destroyed in the attack.
However, the Dopp Fighter would be completely phased out and discontinued after the One Year War.
