OOC: i suspect your mass might be a bit off seeing as your engine is likely to be in the 1500kg region at least.

Also is this a twin engine fighter as indicated by the picture or are you offering a choice of engines?

OOC: Hmm...it's a double engined fighter, with a choice of engines.

Good work. If this is made by an independent company, would I be able to buy some?

I'm sure his government would block the sale.

OOC: Why, thank you. However, the Royal Armoury Corporation is owned by the Government of the Britannic Commonwealth, which has blacklisted your nation.

Damn, it looked like a decent plane. I'll just attempt to make my own...

Why don't you simply invest in the Earwig, cheap and resourceful, it is probably the best multirole aircraft for small budgets.

OOC: Hey, I'm trying to sell my aircraft here. Laquasa, I will allow sell of my fighter, but you have RP signing a document promising that you will not wage war against me or my allies, and the price will be £31m for the standard, and the B-version won't be available.

An excellent fighter. I am glad we purchased some, though I assume the B-Version is a newer modification... in which case we would like 2 at 70 million pounds less the 5% from the Bronze Discount Card for a total of 66.5 million pounds sterling. A Bank Authorization through the usual channels awaits.

The Federation of New Albor thanks you again for providing quality armaments at reasonable prices.

General Hamilton Cherbourg
Defense Minister, Federation of New Albor

Recent attacks on our nation, and the increasing longevity of the Su-34's service in our air assault branch along with its lack of technological superioty compared to most fighters has brought up a new issue in the Cnian Air Command's agenda, a new aircraft. We find the RAC Curiatii fighter exactly what we need and will be buying an air fleet of fifty of these exquiste fighters for our air assualt branch. The total cost being 1.5 Billion.

OOC: Do we recieve any kind of discount seeing as we are in EVIL also?

OOC: All CA and EVIL members get a 15% discount.

Communiqué to New Albor and Buddha C

I thank you for the purchase of our fighter aircraft. Shipment is beginning forthwith.

Signed,
Chloe Sinclair
Minister for Defence
Supreme Commander, Londinian Expeditionary Force

The sum of 1.275 billion £ has been wired to your corporation/nation.

OOC: Hope you don't mind the change, lol. TY

OOC: It has no... tail?

OOC: It has no... tail?

Like the B-2, though I felt the fuselage is a bit too protruding.

OOC: No vertical tail means less visibility on radar...there are two small, outward-canted fins to provide stability.

Bump for comments.

Bump for customers.

Due to the low weight this has I take it that it has a small combat payload, yes? In comparison the F-22 weighs 14,366 kg, to your aircraft, which weighs 2,721 kg.

OOC: Hey, I'm trying to sell my aircraft here. Laquasa, I will allow sell of my fighter, but you have RP signing a document promising that you will not wage war against me or my allies, and the price will be £31m for the standard, and the B-version won't be available.

"Damn. Looks like a pretty good plane."

"So we have to sign the stupid treaty to get it, General?"

"Yes, Sadly. Go give this to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Commodore. And while you're they're, give her my card."

Official TG:


The Imperial Air Force places their order for 100 Curiatii fighters, totalling 3.1 billion pounds.

Laquasa Isle: Sold, assuming you signed the treaty. The Minister for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs burnt your card, and then proceeded to have sex with the President. Too bad, so sad.

Does the President have a wife?

You up for an RP, his Girl Friend gets pregnant and your nation is shocked? It'd be fun...

Okay, once I get the OK to RP the girl I'll delete the spammy posts.

My nation, Fornelia, would like to purchase 5 at 175 million to slightly boost its air force as it is realitively new. We hope that this alright as we have done little on the political stage and hope we will not offend in the future.

Fornelia: Confirmed. Expect delivery of your aircraft in the next NS month. Thank you for your business; if you are pleased with this aircraft, I suggest that you try the SPECTRE storefront listed in my signature for more goods like it.

OOC: Hmm...it's a double engined fighter, with a choice of engines.

OOC:
Then your weight is way off seeing as the engines alone will weight more than that.

2,721 kg might work as the internal payload (assuming it uses internal bays) but not for any of the actualy aircraft weights (empty, combat and maximum take off weights) esspecially in the really big fighter you would need to house 2 F135s.

Your pic does suggest a light twin engine jet which size wise would be using Adours or at a stratch EJ-200s but i suspect your actual envisaged design is soemwhat different to the pic.

BUMP for customers/comments.

The Kingdom of Fornelia has a question about its recently purchased aircraft. Are they Carrier-capable? If it was previously stated and we missed it, we apologize.

This was not previously stated, but, yes, they can be based on a carrier.

That will fit our purposes excellently. Thank you for confirming that fact.

Bump.
