CAC CA-11 Woomera

Aerial Vehicle 🛩️ Bomber 💥 Native Design 🦘

The CAC CA-11 Woomera ("Spear-Thrower") is an Oceanykan light bomber developed by the Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation, used extensively during the Oceanykan Civil War and World War II. It was introduced in the late 1930s to provide the Republican Army Air Corps with strategic, torpedo and interdiction bombing capabilities; the Woomera was successful in all of these roles, plus whichever others it got pressed into, most ironically as a bomber interceptor. It features an all-metal monocoque airframe powered by two Pratt & Whitney R-1830 Twin Wasp radial engines, giving it a top speed of around 454 km/h. The Woomera's armament is no joke; two Hispano-Suiza HS.404 autocannons and two .303 British Browning M1919s up front, as well as four .303 Brownings in remote-controlled turret mounts facing backwards, and one Vickers K Machinegun in a ventral turret. When it was introduced, it was one of the most advanced light bombers of the era, providing the federal government an edge in the air war over Oceanyka. Many CA-11s continue to soar the continent's skies in the hands of private airmen and Oceanyka's many statelets.

Game Stats

FAAC 'Em Up!
Whoever named the Oceanykan Federation's Federal Army Air Corps (FAAC) clearly knew the value of propaganda. When the Oceanykan Civil War broke out, and particularly when the Japanese invaded, the FAAC became synonymous with rudely expressed defiance. Whenever an aircraft with this rule has below 50% RES, it can reroll a single dice roll of any kind per turn.

Slimy Dancer
Though pressed into service as a light bomber, the CA-11 Woomera has certain design features more reminiscent of heavy fighters than of true bombers. Many Communist, Natalist and Japanese airmen were surprised by the deceptive agility of the Woomera in a dogfight, eventually finding themselves in its gunsights. Negate the Air Superiority penalty that Bombers suffer when Dogfighting.
