The GTB Artemis |
Contents
Description:
FS2 Tech Room Description
The GTB Artemis is the most agile bomber in the GTVA fleet, which makes it ideal for quick-hitting missions against warships and other slow targets. Of the same technological generation as the Boanerges class, the Artemis is less heavily armed and carries a lighter weapon payload, but it is significantly more maneuverable. While the Boanerges can inflict more damage, the Artemis can undertake (and return from) missions the slower Boanerges would have no hope of surviving. All Artemis-class bombers in the GVTA fleet are currently serving with the 2nd and 3rd Battle Groups.

Veteran Comments
The Artemis may be the physical successor to the GTB Medusa, but something of the FS1 GTB Athena's spirit must have snuck in there, as the Artemis manuvers fairly well and is faster then the GTF Hercules Mark II, on a par with the Vasudan GVF Tauret.
While it may feel a bit like a heavy fighter, the Artemis isn't one, and that is most clearly demonstrated by its gun configuration. Hitting a fighter-size target with both shots from the Artemis' single primary bank almost requires divine intervention, with the consequence that dogfighting in an Artemis should be considered a stopgap solution until your escort can pick the offending enemy fighters off you.
