Skyhammer H4

Description
The Skyhammer H4 is a drop optimized super heavy infantry fighting vehicle designed to be dropped from extreme altitude for direct base assaults, falling right in the middle of an enemy base's defenses with no chance for the base to defend itself before the tank is already inside the walls. Drop assaults reduce exposure to enemy fire while approaching due to extreme angle preventing enemy turrets from engaging the dropping tank. A skilled pilot easily rides the Skyhammer to the ground, keeping it's fall even and accurate, similar to a parachute drop... but at much higher speed. The tank is more than strong enough to handle ground impact. Seating for 6 passengers and full medibay and respawn point included inside.

Ring of 8 of these surrounding the base

The Hammer Mk.II destroyed this base easily. The Skyhammer is many times stronger than the Hammer Mk.II, the Hammer Mk. III and IV generations being developed from the battle against that defense and improved to kill it and remain functional to take on a second platform if needed. Mk.III has trouble with that, but can do it. Mk.IV eats Kittens Wrath for breakfast.

Ah ha, best tactic then is as we tested against well defended bases. This vehicle is best dropped from well above defense range and directly above the turrets. When it hits ground, the tactic we practiced was to drop inside the walls, if it's a walled base and use the base itself as cover, killing a few turrets at a time easily while the others cannot touch you. Even if they can though, this tank has triple the armor of the Hammer Mk. II which is known for killing Kittens Wrath, having at least that many turrets. The Skyhammer IV is significantly tougher than the Hammer Mk.II, the Mk.II eats 8 turret bases easily.

I'll give it a try but each turret is comprised of 8 BA flak cannons and 4 BA missle turrets and they are in a ring around the main base which contains the maximum number of turrets the server allows

Also, the insane amount of firewalling internally means you will not have your HV brought to a stop by fire, it's almost impossible to stop this thing. The only tougher tanks I build are the Stormhammer IV and the Warlord Leviathan. However, the Skyhammer is far tougher than you think. Do not underestimate it.

It's tested for highest altitude drops at full speed, it can handle it. Tested against the drone base, and it was an easy kill. 8 or 9 turrets are not a problem for it, especially if you drop into the middle of them, which is what this is designed for. It is HIGHLY tested for durability in drop and armor, it can take it, I assure you ;)

Took a quick look at it and I dont think it can handle the kinda drops I would use it for. Would need to be able to slam hard on the way down while taking hits from multiple directions. I do alike the design and it definetly looks like it can handle small numbers of things shooting at it but not so much the 8-9 turret base defenses I would be going against
