"LEADING THE BSG UNIVERSE"
This Is The Heavily-Armed Version Of The Raptor; It Will Be Referred To As A STRIKE Raptor Here Because Of The Fact That 'Assault' Has Many Different Meanings And Modes.
This Type Has Several Hardpoints Under the Wings And Fuselage Where A Variety Of Weapons Can Be Carried Including Bombs, Missiles, Gun Pods, Rocket Pods, And Nuclear Weapons; On The Upper Fuselage Is Mounted Two Static Rocket Pods That Can Launch Anti-Ship, Anti-Fighter, or Air To Ground Ordinance.
It's Primary Tasks Are To Provide Heavy Fire Support For Viper Patrols, Anti-Base Star Attack, Air to Ground Attack,including SEAD(Suppression Of Enemy Air Defenses), And Can Provide Perimeter Defense For Battlestars, If Needed; Like It's Unarmed Cousin, The Standard Raptor, It Can Perform A Myriad Of Other Tasks,When Necessary.
The Type retains It's Standard Crew Of Two.

This is my Raptor of choice. I think all Standard Raptors should all be armed except for the upper Rocket Pods. What can I say, I'm a Viper jock whom takes pride in eliminating as many Toasters as possible. I know recon and all the other tasks are very important, but why go out unarmed? The Cylons don't care one way or the other, they'll attack anything with a human inside.
Good Hunting!!!
SO SAY WE ALL! ! ! ! !
Oh, I'm With You On That, Reamer; However, You Can't Arm Every Raptor Because Of The Weight Penalties; If You Have A EVAC Mission In Progress, And They Need To Get out Quick, well, You Can't Have Extra Equipment Slowing You Down; Be Thankful The Raptor Is FTL Capable!
I totally agree with you CAG Sir. If members are being evacuated or rescued their extra weight is more important than any armament the Raptor may be equipped with.
Yes, Even In The Weightlessness Of Space, Too Much Can Be A 'Drag'.
