I'm REALLY hoping you're not American. Because if you are American, but don't know one of the richest Senators in America, I'm scared of the ignorance in this country.

I'd have to say the GTB Athena, it can do what all others can (except possibly Kennedy and Snau... whatever its name).

I'm scared... :wtf:

And the Athena isn't a crap "bomber" only for the fact that it's a strategic bomber, it's used to knock out key systems on capital ships for the more true bombers to get through with no resistance.

My friend, that is a tactical bomber.  Tactical.  A strategic bomber would be for blowing the crap out of everything, B-52 style.

I cant believe that a fat, hairy heterosexual elephant is winning.....that shows how absolutely outdated, overrated, and generally crap the Athena is.

True, but I honestly don't see how dropping bombs every quarter of a second that eventually spread out in a 15 mile radius is "strategic." I find that more to be "scare the living hell out of everyone so they don't try any crap with us again."

As a US citizen, that's about as "strategic" as our government gets.

I prefer the 4wD variant, really helps with traction when you have to drive through those icebelts. :p

I think the GTB Athena is the best GTB Athena. The GTB Athena is an okay bomber too, and the GTB Athena is better than the GTB Athena, but it's not quite up to the level of the GTB Athena. The GTB Athena could be a bit faster, but it has good armor. The GTB Athena just plain sucks, though. Still, I think the GTB Athena is much better than the GTB Athena, GTB Athena, GTB Athena, and the GTB Athena combined. :p

Your topics are original, Goob.

I prefer the INF:A Athena. And the EAB Aetna, since they're almost the same(not just because of the name).

I would say... let me think... GTB Atena...no, not sure, maybe...Athena.

Hey Goob, you forgot to put in the options "GTB Athena tuned by TechArt".

You shouldn't understimate them, somebody gave them an Herc 2 and they made the flying potato :nervous:

I like a little family car which you can drive your kids around (and drag them to golf like my dad did to me). A nice little hatchback would be nice. :)

We need to make all of these.

Personally I like the Athenas of my campaign, where actually thay can still bombard something :P

This poll is getting record voter participation.

Clearly, our constituents are concerned.

Oooh no you dont. Dont blame me for this. All I did was add ted kennedy.

Though I agree. And wish these stupid opinion polls would cease.

Who else then? :confused: None of the other admins visit this forum/care, ShadowWolf's MIA, and I don't think Flipside would.  AFAIK, nobody else has the authority to edit polls.

Flipside would... I'd imagine.

In any case, no. I didnt. You're the admin. Check the logs.

Hatchback: Still can't carry Tsunami's, but can carry far more ordinance than the Coupe.

On the other hand why can't we have an Athena XP, still has problem with security, but doesn't crash anywhere near as much as the older models.

No, but the Athena 98SE was pretty good, and the new Athena Vista is heavily than an Orion :LOL
