Review by Which Aircraft: "A spectacular entrance for Jay into the aircraft market. It isn't exactly quick or flashy, but its main virtues it exceeds in is that it's cheap, it's there, and it works."

Sold only in GBP, but for an approximate guide Dreadnought = $60,000,000 and Probe = $40,000,000

OOC: There's a problem with the prices...an F-18 about 20 years ago cost Canada roughly 24 million a piece. A bomber costs far more than that. Aircraft are tens of millions of dollars. You might want to fix your prices lol
OOC:
Sorta reminds me of that Baka bomb...

The emphasis is on CHEAP, i.e for nations that have just started out, but would like to build an airforce quickly. Anyway, they're basically a jet-engine with wings and a cargo compartment. No armament, only difference is that the Dreadnought has a hatch in the bottom and a bomb loading rack. Still, prices doubled just for you

(OOC: I'd like to point out that you seem to have mistakenly indicated that the USD is worth more than the GBP, which is far from the case. If the bomber is worth £2million it is closer to $4million than to $1million.)

Bugger. Thanks for that. Prices changed. Now does anyone want to buy them?

it kinda.... looks like a..... erm.... bomb lol
It is too cheap, better increase the amount 20x so its $80 mil for the bomber and $60 mil for the carrier. Try that it works out better.

Hmmm, lack of logic here. I thought people liked buying cheap stuff? OK *prices raised*
Gimme more stats and sure I'll buy!
Like dimensions, thrust, payload, range, top speed, that kind of thing.
