B-16 PRN II Bomber
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v293/grunt74/NS1/PRN-2.gif
The B-16 PRN II Bomber is based on the old PRN-1 Bombers we had in our inventory. We have improved upon the original, PRN, which was a cheap, easy to use weapon of last resort which carried a single 10,000lb bomb.
We have added a retractable nose cone, so that once the bomb is released, the aircraft remains aerodynamic. Two ports on the side of the "fuselage" near the engine ports hold 2 defensive air-to air weapons (one 20mm ChainGun and one AIM-132 ASRAAM). It has a FLIR scope to target the AIM-132, but no conventional radar, the chaingun is manually targeted with HUD aiming assitance.
We suggest you use satelite or television guided bombs.
If you must use a laser guided bomb, a trgt designator can be put in place of the scope.

The UB-21 Unmanned Bomber will replace the F-117A, and B-1 in The Phoenix Milita Airforce. The airframe and engines are based on blueprints found in the abandoned military base code named Area-51. The UB-21 uses the same control system as the FU-29K Scorpion. With the UB-21 you can safely attack targets without the risk of losing pilots. It is also highly stealthy, with RAM coating and a stealth shape.

The Ministry of Defence would like to inquire as to the range of the UB-21 without refueling?

That said, we here at the Ministry of Defense are still drunk in celebration over the doubling of the national defence budget (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=379834), and would like to order twenty bombers. $2.70 billion USD shall be wired upon confirmation.

Thank you for the information. I assume our order is confirmed then?

Yes, of course, I thought perhaps your purchase was pending confirmation of the unrefueled range

Yes, of course, I thought perhaps your purchase was pending confirmation of the unrefueled range

The Ministry of Finance has released $2.7 billion USD to your treasury.

:D

We would like to place a HUMONGOUS purchase:

5000 x UB-1 Aurora x 135 Million USD=675 Billion USD

Total Money Wired=675 Billion USD

"It kinda looks like a dolphin, sir, PETA will go nuts if we employ such a bomber…” said Sub-Commander Fires

“I know…I don’t really care…anyways, send them a message, ask for…a squadron (12) for testing purposes and evaluation.” Replied Director-General Davis

“Yes sir.”

Orders confirmed, due to back orders, it will take 5 (NS) years to deliver

Greetings from Toulouse

new product!!!

OOC: How hard is it to teach the average citizen to fly the B-16.

OOC: Well, how hard would it be to teach the average citizen to fly a Piper cub or cessna?
That's about the level of difficulty associated with the B-16.
Some parachute training would be recommended, both to get the civillian aquainted with high and low G-forces, and to prepare them for a likely ejection from the aircraft. It should be noted the PRN operates at high speed, and while dropping the bomb and fring the missile is quite simple, firing the gun accurately would require practice and training.

OOC: That is what I was wondering, if the difficultly was at Cessna level or at say AV-8B Harrier level.

IC:
We will order 5000 B-16's for a total of 5 Billion Dollars. We will most in storage as a means of last resort. Is there anyway we could get 1000 of those converted into 2 seat trainers. We would gladly pay extra.

Order confirmed, there will be no extra cost for the training version :)

Money Wired and WooHoo.
