Slower than the fighters, the Vulture instead has a bomb bay for carrying torpedo bombs.

Slightly faster than the Vulture, the Firebat has two hardpoints for bomb loads, usually
carrying standard bombs and rarely torpedo of inferno bombs.

Probably upgrade to bar 3(wood) or bar 4(light metal/alluminum) as in TRO 1945.  A bit heavy compared to the TRO, but definatly good at what they do.
Their is no problem Jump Jets and an assault class auto-cannon can't handle.

Okay, quick question.  How many of these would you have to fill the sky with until they can pose an actual threat to a pirate lance of aerospace fighters?  Assuming equal skill in the first case, and having one 0/0 ace crew per ten atmo fighters in the second case.

Oh, and TT, I'm almost done with the Essex design.  Not happy with it, but nothing I did can make it have a 3/5 movement profile.  Sorry.
