Role: Ultra-Heavy VTOL Gunship

Model Number: 434-G

Similar to the relationship of the real world C-130 Hercules and AC-130 Spectre, The AC-434 Valkyrie is built onto the airframe of a C-434 StratoKnight, and converted into a gunship. This gunship boasts extremely heavy armaments (listed below), and retains the VTOL capabilities of the original aircraft. The Valkyrie is a large and quite visible target, so the dorsal surfaces are equipped with 3 AA missile defense turrets.
