The GTF Erinyes

Description:

FS2 Tech Room Description

GTF Erinyes craft are fresh off the drawing boards of Triton Dynamics. Though fast and heavily armored, their main attraction is firepower. With eight primary banks and two secondary weapon bays, Erinyes are at the top of the combat craft food chain. Both sets of weapon banks have been designed to maximize compatibility with the greatest possible number of weapon system. Erinyes-class ships are being evenly distributed through the GTVA fleet, but only elite pilots are currently authorized to fly them.

Veteran Comments

The pinnacle of GTVA technology, nothing and no one (smaller then a destroyer, anyways) is superior to the Eryines. Pilots used to having lots of missiles in a heavy fighter will be somewhat disappointed, but the Eryines does have more missiles then the standard GTVA fighter. Those eight primary cannon, however, are truly impressive in their destructive power. Unfortunately the Eryines mounts a few too many guns for its capicator to handle on mid-to-high difficult levels and so should mount a mixed armament, unless one is an expert marksman.

Theoretically the Erinyes doesn't have any more firepower than the Myrmidon but its armor, missile banks, and the ability to carry Harpoons make it tactically superior.
