GVB Bakha:
Type: Advanced Bomber
Maneuverability: Good
Armor: Heavy
Manufacturer: Akheton Corporation
Description: Learning a lesson from the bomber losses of the Great War, Vasudan defense contractor Akheton designed the GVB Bakha, a fast, agile bomber that could still deliver a warship-shattering payload. The Bakha's dual Akh-12 engines are baffled and masked, giving it a small profile for heat-seeking missiles. The bomber's speed and maneuverability make it the craft of choice for taking out destroyers and corvettes with multiple flak, AAA, and anti-ship beam turrets. Over 6,000 Bakhas have been produced in the orbiting shipyards around Vasuda Prime.

The Bakha is an excellent bomber, second only to the Sekhmet. It may have a smaller capacity, but it has 2 gun slots, compared to the Sekhmet's one. But, the Bakha has the best maneuverability in the game. However, both of these bombers would be a good choice to take.
