The GTB Artemis D.H. |
The GTB Artemis D.H. is a simple reskinning of the GTB Artemis. It is unknown what D.H. stands for, but HLP members have suggested "Dark Hull" and "Death Head."
Despite the tech description, the Artemis D.H. is exactly the same as the regular Artemis in terms of performance and statistics.

FS2 Tech Room Description
The GTB Artemis D.H. is an experimental variant of the standard Artemis class. The most notable change is that the Artemis's factory-issued Han-Ronald engines have been replaced by the same Nankam NA-27f powerplant now found in the GTF Ares fightercraft. The D.H. variant is faster and more maneuverable than the standard Artemis bomber, at no cost to armor or armament. During the OpEval period, Artemis D.H. bombers are being deployed in only select squadrons in different theatres of the war. If the evaluation trials go well, wider deployment of the Artemis D.H. class is expected.

Veteran Comments
While many pilots, myself included, swear up and down that the Artemis D.H. is superior to the Artemis, this is, as Setekh has termed it, the "placebomber" effect. The only functional difference between the Artemis and Artemis D.H. is their texturing, as examination of the table files shows.
Besides multiplayer weapons compatibility, there is one minuscule difference in the model. The DH Artemis has only three tail fins. The standard has four.
You can "win" the GTB Artemis D.H. by completing the first SOC Mission loop (Second one grants you the Ares). This bomber, unfortunately, suffers from a small problem. They copied the GTB Artemis table entry and then forgot to change the maneuverability table entries. It was SUPPOSED to be more manouvrable (as seen in the tech entries) but they forgot to DO it. Which is a pity for a bonus bomber.
This bomber has one slight advantage over the original Artemis: it is much less visible in space due to its black hull. However, this is almost nil when they can still spot you on radar. It would be interesting to see someone make a stealth bomber out of this...
