Sir Keshav IV Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 The Manchurian Government is interested in buying a few of these fighters which seem excellent. We inquire how much it costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiden Ford Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 (edited) 43 Million Marks per Unit Sold. Edited February 27, 2009 by Aiden Ford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Keshav IV Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 We will take 10 at 40,000 million a peace? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiden Ford Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 We will take 10 at 40,000 million a peace? 430 Million would be the Cost going by Grunder Prices. Your Offer overcharges by 399,570 Million Dollars. We hope that was a Typo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeVentNoir Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 We question the 'naval' aircraft section of this fight, as we can and do launch planes larger than single seat fighters off our Carriers, up to our YF-45 supersonic strike bombers, would they be allowed to compete?

Comrade Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 We question the 'naval' aircraft section of this fight, as we can and do launch planes larger than single seat fighters off our Carriers, up to our YF-45 supersonic strike bombers, would they be allowed to compete? Your carriers must be massive, carry alot of fuel and bombs and must have massively powerful catapults. Naval planes are built for a reason. They are usually multi role and are small enough to fit many of them on the ship but also fast to do any mission. If you you feel the need to launch larger aircraft, you may need to evaluate how you operate with navy forces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiden Ford Posted February 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 All Orders are being processed, and the units will be shipped within the week. Furthermore, could we get some statistics to these Fighters so that we may determine if they are really navalized, or if you decided to build a giant mobile island instead of a real Aircraft Carrier.

You are obviously ignorant of matched speed take off and landing techniques and technology. How ever, you are right, we can only carry a limited number of these bombers and still we have to sacrifice space that is normally used for our Interceptor X or Weasel II models and their ordnance.
