What Is The Difference?

[Beebop]

 

Concerning the river barges (?) in the 'Ships' menu....
I understand the the penicheagb is a British barge and the penicheager is the German counterpart, but what is the difference between the penichea and the pinicheab?
All four look exactly the same save the flags on the two flagged barges.

Not a big deal really but I'm just curious.  As with many of the available objects some are named strangely and often there is no clue as to what the different models are until you place them in the mission, sometimes until you run the mission..

BTW, what does penicha stand for?  Barge I'm guessing.  Any particular language? 

They don't require any foreign language skill in American education.  (and I use the term 'education' loosely)

The main difference is just the flag. And the guys behind the AAMG

Nothing noticeable from the sky

BTW penichea should stand for barge, yes.

Mean barges, if they have flak and waypoints set to low priority ... nice stafing target practice with rockets.

As far as I have seen the peniche are unarmed.  I believe they are Flying Circus content. 

The larger, often sea going armed barges are called "landboata" and the big river boats are called "rivershipgeorgia".  One of them is armed with triple A.

Still not sure why there is a "penichea" and a  "penicheb" though.
