The SB Shaitan |

Description:
FS1 Tech Room Description
The Shaitan bomber is only slightly superior to our own bombers - it's shielding is better, but its capacity seems to be far worse. Perhaps the Shivans were so assured that they would only need one payload to destroy a target.
We consider the Shaitan to be a Class C threat.

Color me confused, but the Shaitan is faster and more manueverable than the Herc but carries considerably less firepower. Yet the Herc is a "heavy fighter" and the Shaitan is a "light bomber". To make classification matters worse, the Shaitan actually doesn't carry any bombs, just a mediocre missle load.
In the first few Shivan missions, Shaitans may carry Unknown Bombs, or Tsunamis. If you are fighting them while unshielded, shooting down their warheads is a bad idea. The best way to deal with them during the first missions are to pull up behind them and let loose with a bank of Fury dumbfires.
