The GTB Artemis D.H.


Description:

The Artemis D.H. is a simple reskinning of the GTB Artemis. The "DH" presumably stands for "Death's Head".

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 The most notable change is that the Artemis's factory-issued Han-Ronald engines have been replaced by the same Nankam NA-27f powerplant now found in the GTF Ares fightercraft.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.

There really isn't much difference between the two. Use one as you would with the other.

The D.H. has 100 fewer hitpoints than the normal Artemis, but 200 more shield points. Additionally, in the Statistics, its maneuverability is given as "Average", instead of "Poor". The differences are minimal, but they do exist. The D.H. is a superior ship, but not by a long shot. Nonetheless, better is better.
