The B-1C Lancer is a Connection For Flight Interface (COFFIN)-equipped variant of the B-1 Lancer group of strategic combat craft. It is General Resource's only known bomber, and the only bomber of its time to utilize COFFIN.

Description

The B-1C is an enhanced version of the B-1A. Unlike the B-1B which is primarily a cruise missile carrier, the B-1C is a strategic bomber. It was developed by General Resource sometime prior to 2040 and is in uncommon use with the GRDF.

Its specifications are as follows:

• Length: 44.81 m (147.0 ft)
• Width: 41.64 m (136.6 ft)
• Height: 10.36 m (34.0 ft)
• Weight: 216,365 kg (477,003 lb)
• Top speed: 1,530 km/h (Mach 1.2; 950 mph; 830 kn)

History

Within the Intercorporate War simulation, if Nemo's choice is to stay with UPEO, it will sortie to defend a Neucom air base from a General Resource bombing. If Nemo successfully prevents the first bombing by F-15S/MTs, two B-1Cs will enter and attempt to bomb the air base before Nemo shoots them down as well.

Game Analysis

Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere

"Developed with bombing as its sole focus. It is designed to be able to be loaded with a large amount of bombs. For this reason, the craft is large and is rather difficult to maneuver."

― Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere - Namco Official Guide Book

"The B-1A was originally developed as a variable-wing strategic bomber, but later went into production as the B-1B, a carrier for air-launched cruise missiles. The B-1C was redeveloped for its original purpose as a bomber."
