AC-29 Castle Bomber

The AC-29 Castle Bomber is a powerful bomber used in the Rifts(tm) world. It has a massive bomb-holding bay and is used by Larsen's Brigade. You can best use it by giving it to your characters or to a generic pilot.

Abilities:

Replenish Bombs: At first, the AC-29 cannot Replenish it's bomb supply. Learn this ability very quickly and up it's speed primarily, as you only get 200 bombs and you must drop at least 10.

Equipment:

Autocannon Turrets: Two 30mm auto-cannons are mounted on belly turrets and a third in the middle of the plane. They engage targets below the AC-29 and use ramjet rounds. They can rotate 360 degrees and fire in 180 degree arcs. Bursts are 20 runds, 2D6x10 M.D., 3D6 M.D. from a single round, 4000 foot range.

Bomb Bay: These hold bombs that are typically smart, self-guided, and missile-like, but the bay can hold vehicles, equipment, conventional explosives, anything. Volleys of 10, 20, or 30 bombs can be dropped, meaning that enormous damage can be done, like 4D6x100 M.D.

Long-Range Missile Launchers: The front bottom holds 60 long-range missiles.

Medium-Range Missile Launchers: These things hold 6 missiles each and there are 8. They are mounted on the wings and are used for multiple purposes. They can fire in volleys of 8 missiles, which can be just evil.

Vulcan Laser Turrets: This is a multi-barreled laser used for missile defense or anti-aircraft. It can fire up to 6 times in 15 seconds. It's range is 6000 feet and it does 2D4x10 M.D. per blast.

Wings: There are two wings, each of which can take 400 M.D.C. of damage at beginning levels. This is pretty heavy damage resistance, but don't let it get shot, or it will blow up.
