Afterburners allow enough closure to simultaneously let off a dive bomb attempt and gun run with the LPAC. Depending on the point defense coverage on a ship, the Aquinas may be a better option on the anti-hull slot. The Act 2 release changed the Rhea such that the Tri-Gun Bank has two functions (one dedicated for the LPAC, the other for a dogfighting gun), and secondaries launch from both the wing pod and top rack. While the LPAC can deal killing-blow damage to capital ships, it's still viable for anti-system work. Refrain from tunnel vision and strafe targets as needed.''}}

They are larger and pack less primary firepower than the Hercules, significantly reducing their survivability in a dogfight situation.

 ===Tech Room Description===
 The Rhea is Han-Ronald's next generation strike bomber. Basically it is a fighter airframe with a large enough bomb bay to carry 4 Cyclops torpedoes. Additional armament consists of a triple-barreled primary bank under the port wing and a small missile bank on top of the fuselage. Its primary role as a strike bomber is to conduct precisions strikes against targets without the need for a dedicated escort wing. A typical tactic used by its pilots is to punch a hole in the defending fighter screen of their target before the bombs are delivered. Additionally, the Rhea can be deployed in larger fleet engagements to disable and disarm enemy capital ships with Stiletto II missiles and then support the space superiority wings. The Rhea has powerful engines and a large afterburner capacity, making it the fastest ship in the GTVA fleet to carry the Cyclops torpedo. Together with the strong armor and shields for a ship its size, this gives it the ability to survive bombing runs on heavily defended targets. However, that ability comes with the price of reduced maneuverability due to its relatively high mass and asymmetrical layout.
 ===[[Blue Planet]] Tech Room Description===
 The Rhea is Han-Ronald's next generation strike bomber.  Its primary role was, at least in theory, to conduct precisions strikes against targets without the need for a dedicated escort wing. This tactic has been quietly discouraged by squadron leaders, and although the Rhea is generally considered a success, it now flies with escort like other bomber designs. Its unusual asymmetrical design is unpopular with pilots, but it appears to be a statistical success even amongst the historically casualty-prone bomber force.

 Replacing the Artemis in the anti-shipping and anti-subsystem roles, Dynamic Metamer designed the GTB Rhea to be more survivable than the Artemis, without sacrificing firepower. Early designs were not promising, as simultaneously improving the handling of the bomber and incorporating next-generation active armor required sacrificing secondary payload capacity, and the bomber still could not mount defensive turrets. However, the debut of the Light Plasma Accelerator Cannon in 2389 marked a turning point in the Rhea's development. Unlike heavier PAC variants, the LPAC's energy draw was light enough that the Rhea's DM-63 reactor could support it, allowing Dynamic Metamer to sacrifice a third secondary bank in favor of a side-mounted tri-barrel cyclic bank for the LPAC. A recent firmware update also allows the Rhea to mount the new Aquinas in the cyclic bank. Mass restrictions preclude SPELLS implementation.
