Butcher Bird
« on: 15 April 2012, 08:07:00 »
The Butcher Bird took its name from an Ancient Warbird which was flown by the German Luftwaffe during World War II. The Focke Wulf FW 190, called "Würger" by the Germans. The Allied Forces called it Butcher Bird due to its sheer efficiency and Firepower.
The modern lyran Butcher bird was intended as a Dropship and Warship Hunter, bearing the brutal firepower of 3 Defiance Desintegrator AC 20 Us packed as a tight group in the nose of the fighter. This firepower requiered some sacrifices though. First is the fuel Capacity with only 4 Tons lower than you would expect for such a heavy Fighter. Also critical is the lack of any secondary Weapons, so some Escorts for this "Anti Ship Bomber" are necessary. The Armor of the design is as heavy as it could get witrh 15 and a half tons of heavy Ferro Aluminium Armor. A Squadron of six Butcher Birds has good chances to cripple all but the heaviest Warships since the punch of the 18 Autocannons is enough to penetrate all but the Leviathans 2s Armor.

Hows this for an alternate version? A bit less damage, but it can shoot out to long instead of just medium range.

Too little damage.

The Butcher Bird was intedned to break through Warship Armor. 66 Damage aka 7 Capital scale makes in a squadron only 42. Not 54. With 54, the only Warship you get no chance to crit it is the Lebiathan 2. All others have a problem.

Besides I'm not a friend of the H Gauss. Neithter the normal nor the improved.

Still can crit the hell out of just about everything not above 1.5 million tons. Plus it has twice the effective range, which improves its survivability.

Ah. Bias then.

This concept... seems familiar.

OTOH, naming yours after the shrike was an awesome idea.

I like the triple UAC/20s. Perfect for killing DropShips, Pocket WarShips, or even real WarShips. Not too shabby with the Striking as well on the ground.

My my... 90 points of damage if you use the abstract stuff. That's going to hurt something even in pairs.
