Overview

The Raven is a futuristic close air support (CAS) aircraft which is capable of hovering. It is usually assigned to a ground unit, be it infantry or cavalry, and will directly assist them with reconnaissance and strikes. It was designed for getting up close and personal with enemy units.

Capabilities and Controls

Pitch, Roll, and Yaw work as expected.

AG1 for lights.

The Raven flies like more of a helicopter than a plane, though it is much more stable. Lean in the direction you want to go.

The Raven does not have traditional landing gear, as it hovers just off the ground when landed instead. This allows it to survive pretty hard landings as long as the wings or cockpit don’t strike anything. Additionally, It can also serve as a stationary weapons platform if you use regular flight controls when on the ground, allowing better aim.

The Raven has a fully digital avionics suite. All units are imperial, except Vertical Speed, which is meters per second.
