Dude, the US only has like 16 B-2 Bombers. Im not COMPLETELY sure thats the exact number, but definately not near 500. Try toning it down a bit.

If you have a large nation 16 B-2s really don't cut it. Besides, This is NS not real life. You can have thousands for all I care. I can just use my AMS or Panzers to knock them outta the sky.

1. He has 23 million people.
2. B-2s are at least a billion dollars each.
3. You're going to shoot down a B-2 with a tank (Panzer)?

I know this has nothing to do with the price of tea in China, but my brother is a mechanic for the B-2 Stealth bomber. ok i leave now

not to mention, each B-2 costs a shitload to maintain yearly, so having 500 would just be a wrecking ball for your resources and economy.

CorpSac your losing money man, the B-2s cost a flat Billion to make.

they actually have a unit cost of 2.1 Billion USD, 30 mill would buy you the pilots seat maybe.. and 500 of them is a ludicrous amount.

Actually, the US only has 12. And they cost about 2 bil. each. Why would you ever need 500? The payload on just one is staggering.

Are they functionable or are they paper planes. Hell if they are real and they work I do believe I'll buy some of that!!!!!

The US has 21 of them in active force. 22 - 100 something were cancelled by congress :(

Yes Ok, NS is not RL, but it's based on it. Having 500 of these is ludicrous, the upkeep costs (A helluva a lot more then a normal plane, they have to be meticulosly checked after every flight) are huge, and they are expensive as hell. Sure you *could* have 500, but's it's a waste. This leaves no room in your budget for purchasing ANYTHING else (And not even home-produced weapons, as you have to buy them from your companies with money) And probably never would since the upkeep will put you in debt.

They are not very flexible, can't be used for Air-to-Air or many other roles, and require a large support base. For a comparison, losing just two is almost the equivalent of losing 1 entire Nimitz class Aircraft Carrier

They're more stealthy than the F-117 and the only time that was shot down was pure LUCK and some poor NATO planning. They have an unlimited range with air to air refueling and they fly very high, we're talking about 60K. If they were to get shot down it would be the magic BB of magic BBs. It'd also take a direct hit to probably take it out or a very near hit and hitting something that hard to detect at that height isn't easy. Secondly, the ECM on that sucker alone is enough to jam anything and sometimes, as was over Bosnia, they fly with EA-6 escorts so good luck!

Yes, and look at who they were facing, an enemy using much older equipment (Old be even Soviet standards), after extensive fighting. In NS you are likely to run into a much more advanced enemy.

2 bill in RL but thinkof it like this the people who make B-2s have to buy parts from differnet places my Privete sector doesnt so its cheaper to make and hence it cost a lil tho i might be upping the price to about 650million

It would be hard for me to even afford 500 B-2's, 1 trillion for the initial purchase, then support costs would kill me...

B-2 cost about 2.7 billion im sorry but who would pay 2.7 billion for a plane that cant be seen by radar. :shock:
