DESCRIPTION
With powerful armament and respectable speed, the Vanguard Gunship is designed to carry an entire platoon, all of its equipment, and also a vehicle underneath, through heavy flak toward victory.

With most of its emphasis placed on cargo and lifting capacity, the gunship suffers from sluggish handling and lacking defenses, though it makes up for these shortcomings with heavy firepower as well as impressive speed.
