Default Vulcan & Blue Steel / Skybolt

this is the first go at a Vulcan needs texturing tho


for armament thinking Blue Steel Early on then the GAM-87 Skybolt System


The Avro Blue Steel

was a British air-launched, rocket-propelled nuclear armed standoff missile, built to arm the V bomber force. It allowed the bomber to launch the missile against its target while still outside the range of surface-to-air missiles (SAMs). The missile proceeded to the target at speeds up to Mach 3, and would trigger within 100 m of the pre-defined target point.

Blue Steel entered service in 1963, by which point improved SAMs with longer range had greatly eroded the advantages of the design. A longer-range version, Blue Steel II, was considered, but cancelled in favour of the much longer-range GAM-87 Skybolt system from the US. When development of that system was cancelled in 1962, the V-bomber fleet was considered highly vulnerable. Blue Steel remained the primary British nuclear deterrent weapon until the Royal Navy started operating Polaris ballistic missiles from Resolution-class submarines.


For In game purposes ill make "Blue Steel & Skybolt" Very Large One hit Very fast Ship Killer Missile,s
