The B-44, or more affectionately named the "Grizzly" (due to its massive size, but strong firepower and intimidating posture on the battlefield), is, as of right now, our mainstay bomber. Featuring a top speed of up to and over Mach 3, and with a max payload capacity of 100,000Ibs, the B-44 is a powerful and conventional asset to achieve the means of neutralizing an entire area, like a military industrial complex, bases, or even entire cities.
However, as our technology has gotten much more advanced, with the introduction of guided missiles and guided bombs, a fire control system, and our new detail and collaboration partner Beacon Industries, the B-44 Grizzly has become a venerable heavy bomber.
However, we do not intend to retire it anytime soon. Instead, with the help of our trusted ally Beacon Industries, we plan on giving it a completely new take on life, both externally and internally.
Beacon Industries will leverage their deep background in theme schematics and design to make this bomber look newer, fresher, and much more detailed than before, via a new paint scheme, bomb themes, and even a cockpit module (mainly for looks).
At Alpha Space Technologies, we will be doing our part in ensuring the continued success of one of the most powerful bombers on the platform, by integrating our modern 2nd Gen Fire control system, with a new fixed range radar that allows detection of enemies and targets for strikes of up to 400 kilometers away! This special modified version of the already versatile FCS will also include weapons bay support, meaning you can house weapons externally and/or internally without the fear of hiccups or problems. In addition, we also plan on adding functional airbrakes to the new jet, increasing survivability and ease of use. Finally, we plan to add airspeed management, for more efficient use of fuel and increased range.
We do plan on making future bombers, but for now, we are enhancing an already proven platform, ensuring the glorious B-44 stays relevant in the battlefield for many more years to come.
Note that this new variant, with the new visual additions, may be slightly tinkered, as the new additions may cause performance losses, although this is still currently unknown. The older version of the bomber will still be available.
Once again, heavy thanks to our partner Beacon Industries for making such a revitalization project a reality!
