And By Banshee I mean the WC-Armada Confed Heavy-Fighter-Bomber Banshee :
(Edit: and not the kilrathi looking, UBW, "look, I'm almost a Jalthi, only need neutrons", Light-Fighter Banshee)
1. What do we know about it, aside from the obvious, stated in the Armada manual.
2. Is it really 43 meters long?! I'ts alittle wider then it's length, creating a rather cubersome fighter (especialy compared with other bombers), and it's cockpit comes out HUGE! enough to claim it has a flight crew of two sitting side by side (like in the A-6 Intruder or F-111). Assuming it is 43 meters long, is this assumption plausiable?
3. The Banshee bomber was only mention in armada - and never again. Now, taking into consideration the fact, the according to Armada, the Lexington left right after BoT for a hunt for Kilrah through uncharted space IIRC, what is the take on the Banshee:
Was it a Hi-tech ultra bomber that it's price tag caused confed to give it up, using cheeper bombers?
OR
Was it a cheep low capability bomber used as a close-the-gap sollution to cover the losses until LongBow production can catch on? (And as soon it did, the remaining Banshees where transfered to local defense units and planetoid gurards).
