LAAT

137k BaconEggs  8.9 years ago

The L.A.A.T, or low-altitude-assault-transport series gunships were designed to transport up to 30 clone troopers into combat and support them. It also had a rear hangar that could hold up to 4 speeder bikes to support reconnaissance operations or search and rescue missions. Early LAAT were in-atmosphere-only vehicles, requiring cruisers to land somewhere on the planet in order to launch. Although, with their range, it was common practice for cruisers to dip into the atmosphere, let t the LAAT fly to the target zone, and be gone before combat even started. Later versions allowed it to fly through space and actually be used for boarding in ship-to-ship battles. Some versions of the gunship included Bacta tanks for medical transportation. Also sometime after the battle on Geonosis, an Alpha-Class Arc Trooper/Special Ops gunship was introduced with a new paint style, increased maneuverability and more flight time.

Yes that was a long description, but we're not done yet.
Controls:
1+Vtol down: Open side doors
2+Vtol down: Open rear door
6: operate rear gun
7: operate jets on top for extra speed
It does have vtol controls, vtol down a little to pitch faster and maybe nose-up
Yes it does have wheels, but I was too lazy to make it a vtol. I will make a vtol variant in the future.
