BH2
The BH2 'Vulture' entered service in 1343, several months into the World War for the Antarans. At its introduction, and even into the mid-late war period, it had unrivalled service ceiling , speed and payload. By 1346, it had entirely replaced the BH1 and had become the mainstay strategic bomber for the Antarans. Despite its fine points, the BH2 had the highest loss rate of any aircraft on the Alliance side of the war. Sieg high-altitude interceptors quickly caught up and nullified the altitude advantage the Vulture had savored. In light of enemy developments, the Vulture's successor, the BH3, further prioritized the already heavy defensive armament among other attributes.
The most common variants of the Vulture had up to 10 12.7mm heavy machine guns as defensive armament. For short range missions, the BH2 was capable of carrying a little over 3000kg of ordinance, and 2000kg for long range missions.
From variant C onwards, the fuselage was lengthened to allow for a longer tailward bomb-bay, giving aircraft the option to fit larger 1000kg bombs. This was a requirement for missions that required precision strikes with high effective but smaller room for error that couldn't be afforded with smaller and more numerous loud outs.
The C variant was an anomalous production variant for the purposes of testing the feasibility of twin tails. It was ultimately not pursued from the D variant, onwards.
