CATHEL-91 (Previously Mentioned)

Cost-$60 Million

Tag OOC Note: Price seems a bit low...

Actually, The Alconian Navy (Yes Navy...would like to purchase)

400 for a total of 24 billion USD

And for the FKC Joint Defense Force I'm going to ask for
1,200 for 72 Billion USD

Thank You....

OOC: Who ever made that model missed a detail... the EB-52 solely has a V-tail, there is no horizontal tail.

We'll take 25 of these planes.

$1,500,000,000 wired upon confirmation.

I will take 25 of those superb aircraft aswell, that is a very reasonable price for a re-jigged B-52, very good indeed.
1.5 Billion USD, money wired upon confirmation.

OOC: Well, bang goes my theory that only about three people in NS used Dale Brown stuff. Damn it.

OOC: Well, damn... I guess I'm not the only one who uses the Megafortress...

OOC: Nope, have done since about two weeks old.

I also use the EB-1, StealthHawk, Al-52, NIRTSSAT, MADCAP MAGICIAN, Wolverine, EB-2 (based on the modified B-2 used in a couple of books), Valley Mistress, plasma yield warheads, Cheetah, ANTARES, and a couple of other funky things like the non-lethal cruise missiles.

OOC: Well, we couldn't expect such brilliant ideas to stay under the hat forever... could we? :)

OOC-The price is actually pretty good. The B-52H runs for about 45 million...

But I've been using the B-52I "Old Dog" type unmodified since June. It saw action in some of my first (And purged... Grrr...) conflicts, where it worked really well. (June was also when I read flight of the old dog). After that, I went to more space-techish things, and the Old Dog didn't do anything. Finally, when I came to my senses and got rid of my space fleet, I found I had a ton of money. So I revamped my B-52Js (Modified Is) into EB-52 "Ravens" (The kind I'm selling... I made a Galactica variant, but haven't sold...), and whipped all my Bones into EB-1Cs (Vampires) LB-1Ds (Based on the laser equipped B-52s, they were in Air Battle Force), and EB-1CMs (Vampires with microwave projectors, escort strike groups and use the mircowave weapon and HARMs to kill off Air Defense.). Somewhere earlier, I had made a bunch of UCAVs based on the FlightHawk and StealthHawk. The QuickBird and B-5 from Pirhana are in service too.

And on the tail, yeah, the model got messed. But It was the best EB-52 site period, made things a lot easier than going through the books. Anyway...
IC-
All orders confirmed and shipping. Thanks for the purchases.

I'll buy 3 of these planes . I will wire the money after delivery .

No, you wire it before delivery. I'm not giving some Dec 7 nation a chance to steal my aircraft.

-Money Wired-
Thanks for the planes, done a really good job.

98 Billion Wired...

too cheap, by the way how is it stealthy, I have read Dale Brown and it deosnt make any mention to the EB-52 being stealthy.

The EB-52 does incorporate RAM to lower RCS and, later, stealthy weapons pods to carry the air-to-air missiles on the wings.

OOC-A B-52H goes for $45 Million. It isn't expensive to make a computer and copy programs, the real reason why it costs so much is the laser. Also, read flight of the old dog. Carefully. Very carefully. The part about RAM. And the Fibermetals. It's near the beginning of the book.
