VTOL controls flaps. Ramp door is decorative. The primary tactical airlifter of the Paternian Air Force, it can carry Scorpion light tanks, 200 soldiers, 60 paratroopers, M3 Prime Movers, artillery, etc., doing so on short, unprepared runways not unlike that employed by Pummelers. They saw their most prolific use during the Battle of Guadalcanal, where Proivder II operating from New Zealand, under heavy escort and gunfire, delivered supplies, weapons, and ammunition to the beseiged Paternian Marine 1st and 4th Divisions. Many were shot down, but their mission was successful; Henderson Field would remain in Paternian hands for the rest of the war, due to no small part from the daring flights of Provider II.
