One of the first things that were clear to the CIR's initial struggle was that the Clothes Horse was an acceptable aircraft for basic purposes, but not a stellar one, owning to it'l low payload and average speed. Owning to it's modular construction, however, it became clear that a potential stopgap was to tinker with the basic airframe. Among the more conventional results is this twin-engined variant. While originally inheriting the original's tail arrangement, later versions (known as Bs) would further refine the concept by swapping it for a single empennage.

This bomber's most famous contribution consists of it's debut in the pivotal Battle of the Ebro, which was the first major Nova Evropan defeat in the Iberian Peninsula, and which marked the end of further conquest on their part. In the type's most famous action in this battle, 3 sorties of 8 bombers each were responsible for the destruction on the ground of over half of the 20 Bashers available to the NE's complement and inflicting heavy casualties on their troops in a surprise attack made possible by a factor consisting of improving air reconnaisance and the surprise factor: the helicopters were placed beyond Clothes Horse range, until then the only CIR aircraft known to the NE, and as such it's defense was mostly arranged expecting guerrilla action instead of air attack at a loss of 4 of their own: three were shot down by ground fire and another crashed upon landing.
While at this stage, the NE had no real match to this aircraft performance-wise and as a result, most combat losses are due to ground fire.
Throughout the rest of the battle, the twins would be used to hit deeper behind enemy lines and on high-priority targets.
