Revenant: Viper Gunship
Viper Gunship
Description:
When Revenant ground forces are in need of assistance, they can rely on the Viper Gunships. These heavy helicopters are based upon old 20th/21st century gunships employed by Russia and America. They are armed with 2 heavy-duty 30mm Vulcan Cannon, which are effective against most ground targets. They can tear trough even the toughest armor, given enough time. Unlike the land-based Gatling guns, the Vulcan cannons don’t spin up, but already start out with a high rate of fire. Viper Gunships carry plenty of ammo for long periods without resupplying, meaning that they can keep unloading hot lead unto their foes.
Even though it has more armor then both the Goshawk and the BS Bomber, it can’t stand much AA fire, and it is advised that it shouldn’t be send into combat when there are a lot of enemy AA installations (whether mobile or fixed) around.
As with all Revenant air units, it can be upgraded with countermeasures.

Ingames:
Note: model and texture may change at any point during development.
Non-official comment: This one had many different weapon loadouts, but in the end I settled for the heavy-duty Vulcan Cannons. Bit like the TD Apache/RA1 Hind.
