-H1 'Swoophawk' Dropship-

48.2k GluonicGaming  8.4 years ago

So I had a different build planned, but the update for ios came out, and of course, me being me, I had to find a way of using the new items. Although the parachutes obliterate every law of the universe, they are still incredibly fun and useful. So using them, I built two assault dropships. 1 of them, (not this one) drops paratroopers. This one drops a mini tank/combat drone.

HISTORY/TRIVIA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-This is, to my knowledge, the first fully functional dropship capable of airdrops
-This dropship was based of of a proof of concept vehicle (created by me)
-The mini tank is the second main source of weight on the dropship
-This is due to the fact that the car engines in simple planes are op, again, due to the low traction of tires.
