Description
The AB-18C Raubvogel Aerobomber is the current incarnation of a ground-attack conventional fighter produced by the Lockheed/CBM Corporation at its Rolfston plant on Gibbs.[3] It is one of the most popular conventional bombers within the Lyran Alliance and the Federated Suns due to their former status as member-states of the Federated Commonwealth. It is typically used for close support missions.[4]
Weapons and Equipment
The aerobomber weaponry includes a Large Laser and a Two-Tube Short-Range Launcher in its nose, while both wings each have a single Four-Tube Streak Short-Range Launcher. The craft carries a ton each of regular and streak SRM missiles.
Used mostly as an atmospheric support craft, many commanders fit the AB-18C with an external TAG unit and four one-ton laser-guided bombs for close support missions.[4]
Cargo
In its role of providing close ground support, the AB-18C is typically fitted with an external TAG and four one-ton laser-guided bombs.[4]
Notes
- No canon Record Sheets have been published for this craft since its publication in Handbook: House Steiner.
- The Raubvogel currently has no BattleValue 2.0 listed for it on Master Unit List.
- Originally the vehicle name was named "Roubvogel", which seems to be a misspelling of the German word "Raubvogel" (bird of prey). In Handbook: House Steiner, the breakdown of the vehicle's specifications, the list of Lockheed/CBM products, and the table of contents use the name Raubvogel, while Roubvogel is used in the main heading for the unit.
