W7 Havako

The W7 Havako was a large, six-engined super-heavy bomber used by Ikanese Forces during the latter part of the Great War. Designed specifically for the Panacean campaign, the type was designed to fly long distances and carry large payloads. Examples of the type were captured by the Efrosan States and would directly influence the development of the Efrosan BD-19 Globemaster.

Design and Development
The W7 Havako was designed as the current Ikanese heavy bomber - the W6, was inadequate for striking long ranged targets like the Efrosan States. Designers from Kujira Heavy Industries started from scratch to produce a much larger and more capable design. The type was armed with six turrets armed with two 30mm cannons each.

Operational History
The W7 Havako would first see combat during the first phases of the Southern Stria Campaign. A force of thirty W7s were launched from the newly-captured Daedalus Isles and were sent towards Efrosa destroying shipbuilding and manufacturing plants 100km inland. While this level of damage was never repeated again, the W7 would continue to be used despite being vulnerable to the K-47 Hunter IV and K-49 Super Stallion II.
