I first heard of FB-111's during the Persian Gulf war. When researching the plane, I came across indications it was called the "Switchblade" (possibly because it was the first production bomber with variable geometry wings). But other sources indicate that it didn't have an official name until it was retired, at which point it was named the Aadvark (though, again, this might just be the fighter, not the strategic bomber variant).. Switchblade is way cooler so we're sticking with that. The Switchblade is one of my favorite cards. I like the unusual but not overwhelming special power. Properly employed, its rapid-fire capability can be quite useful. Note that the second card does not have to be a warhead (although if it's not, the bomber will run out of fuel). The max load was chosen so that we would have a military equivalent of the DCX Delta Clipper. -=-BhpG 2005 0630 |
