ARC - PX1 Viper

345 Neoico  7.4 years ago
Auto Credit Based on Neoico's ARC -XF2 Sparrowhawk

A militarised version of the ARC-XF2 Sparrowhawk, modifications include a lower profile hull, hard-points and significantly overpowered engines. The Viper designed as an armed transport for airborne Calvary units. It remained a difficult aircraft to fly and range limitations stopped it from being widely adopted.
OPERATION: for Vertical take off set the throttle to between 45% and 50%, the aircraft is mostly balanced but slight pitch correction is necessary during assent. Use VTOL slider to rotate engine pods to horizontal flight and increase throttle. For vertical landings slow to about 90mph and bring pods upright and reduce thrust to 40%.
ACT 1 and 3: Launch Interceptor air-to-air missiles.
ACT 2 and 4: Launch Guardian air-to-surface missiles.
ACT 5: Drop Hard-points.
ACT 8: Lock VTOL system.
