Manufacturer's Summary
Developed by Ageira with significant BMM participation, the Havoc Mk II is an advanced modification of the first "Havoc", bomber model that was popular in Liberty and Bretonia about 350 years ago. Mk II version features an advanced power array and increased agility compared to other modern bombers. While Ageira initially planned to sell the new Havoc only to Liberty Navy and Bretonia Armed Forces, company executives soon understood that this ship could make a lot of profit on alternative markets.

Winter's Summary
The 'Havoc' is in all ways a capable craft, leaving very little that one cannot be satisfied with. There are several features I would like to note. The first being the relatively slim profile in comparison to other Bombers. The Second being the competent powerc ore, providing a managable Gap between 'SNAC' usages. The Third, is the rather comfortable Nanobot and Shielt batteries storage areas, leaving one with a surprising Longevity in the fight. Though marketed for It's agility, I personally find the actual agility of this craft to be somewhat lacking, though the manufacturer has recently gone to great lengths to upgrade the performance of the craft. The 'Havoc' by my review is fully ready for popular use among the Bretonian Armed Forces. Though Not usually a primary selling point of Bombers, this one does have a sizable cargo bay, as a bonus feature.
