The Hyacint, so named to keep a theme with the Parrot, is the CRL's true night heavy bomber. While a relatively rare aircraft, it's notable for being the culmination of a progressive switch to area bombing on the CRL's part. As this aircraft shows, it's common for Hyacinths on night missions to carry glide bombs to both gain extra payload with a standoff distance and attack secondary targets.
Controls: 1-4 (VTOL/Throttle): turrets. 5, 6: detach gliders. 8: engines, open/close bomb bay with VTOL.
