These are the more heavier weapons in our arsenal, commander. These tank-cum-helicopter gunships can take on both air and ground targets depending on what form they're in. In the Raider VX form, they can easily shoot down aircrafts with their powerful AA missiles. In the Chopper VX form on the other hand, they can punish ground forces with their powerful AG missiles.
Each form gives them a small advantage; the Chopper VX is faster but the Raider VX gets an increased armor bonus. There is a disadvantage to this powerful shape-shifting beast however. When transforming between the two modes, the current mode will transform and stay in a standby sequence. It will not be able to do anything while being in this state, making it vulnerable to anything. You will have to give a move order to complete the transformation.
Make sure to manage both modes well in order to make the best out of it. Oh and try not get too many of these expensive creations shot down.
Fun fact: The design of this unit was inspired by the TS Recon Bike and the RA3 Chopper VX .
