Combining older VTOL technology with a weapons rack filled with low-yield bombs, the Falcon Gunship offers the Forgotten a light bomber option that can loiter over the battlefield and perform a number of bombing runs before its stores are depleted. Ideal for strafing enemy ground columns, the Falcon can also be used against enemy turrets if they work together in squadrons; on their own, a single Falcon lacks the accuracy to do great damage quickly, and concentrated AA fire will down them before they can do much.

The 3x3 Aeroport is still a holdover from when the Forgotten had the Orca Destroyer as their primary bomber - the pic should show why... #Tongue

Will be making a smaller 2x2 pad to replace this soon.

Whew, that thing's huge...

Don't call it Aeroport. Stick to Airfield/Helipad/Hangar like all WW games. It might get confusing after a while
(RA3 Allied Airfield vs RA3 Soviet Airbase; like, why? Just call it Allied/Soviet Airfield and be done with it...)

Forgotten flavouring is more civilian and less militant, so I'm intentionally giving them slightly more civilian-sounding names in that regard. Aeroport (in this instances) comes across as more "civilian setup repurposed for our militia goals", to my mind.

If you call all of your helippads, across four different factions, just "Nod/GDI/Forgotten/CABAL Helipad", it becomes a bit bland and generic after a while.
