UEB Durga in Blue Planet

Description:

Original Tech Room Description

The FTB-01C Saracen is an assault bomber with a three man crew that was developed to inflict as much damage as possible and not just survive long enough to fire its payload. it is the only bomber in the fleet that is purpose built to carry the sledge hammer heavy fusion torpedo which is not the extent of its weapon load out. with a quartet of built in fold away mass drivers, 2 interchangable gun banks, 2 interchangable banks for missiles and one dedicated to the sledge hammer the Saracen easily out guns any GTVA bomber fielded to date. Compared to the Ursa it is faster, more manuverable and posesses a greater offensive capability by far. it falls short however on shielding, armor and self defense capability basicaly meaning it's shields are substandard and it lacks turrets. its defensive capability relies heavily on what weapons the crew can aim and fire at their attackers. Saracens excell at surgical and deep strike as well as ambush and medium assault rolls. like all Federal fighter craft Saracens are capable of operating in atmospheric conditions which gives a strong advantage over most GTVA bombers

Blue Planet Tech Room Description (UEB Durga)

With a firepower rating that is termed 'excessive' by many of those in the ruling Council of Elders, the Durga assault bomber carries enough ordnance to level several large planetary cities. As a weapons platform, it is more than capable of dispatching ships approaching destroyer-class specifications. The Durga is the hammer blow when negotiation has failed, and the complete destruction of the enemy is the only option. The Federation possesses extraordinarily small numbers of Durga bombers, and they are being held in strategic reserve until the war enters a critical phase. The presence of Durga bombers near Earth and Mars has single-handedly prevented the GTVA from launching an overwhelming warship attack.

Veteran Comments

Please read the Veteran Comments policy before editing this section.

It may seem like the Boanerges, but don't let that fool you. Sure, it may not have a turret and it presents a large target profile, but given the sheer power of UEF anti-matter bombs, the Durga can prove its chops, especially with the high amount of armor points it boasts. Where it really shines is the use of long-range ballistics to deal the opening volley of damage (mainly by way of the Redeemer) before closing in with bombs (however for surgical strikes and SEAD [Suppression of Enemy Air Defense], the Uriel is best at that, thanks to the Archer cannon and Paveways).

The added bonus is unlike the Uriel and Vajradhara, you can link all three primary banks together.

Primary Bank 3 has a draw out animation, so wait five seconds before you can fire it (you may want to place an anti-armor ballistic weapon there instead of a self-defense primary).
