M.D. 658 Bolient CTAV

So you know how normal helicopters have their rotors on top?

Yeah well, me being the mindless self I am, thought to myself "what would happen if I put it in the middle?"

So I put the rotors in the middle.

(why am I like this)

Ok jokes aside, the Bolient Central Thrust Assault VTOL (CTAV) was a test tech to test the concept of putting the rotors in the middle of the craft. It actually worked out pretty nicely. Instead of you having to worry about the lean of your helicopter when going in for an attack, the Bolient calmly slides through the air like a hovercraft. It comes to a stop nicely as well and allows you to do some otherwise impossible maneuvers with a helicopter.

The Bolient, like all my techs, has a pretty large battery capacity. It is strongly shielded and repair bubble'd- more so than the Tsandela, but sadly doesn't live up to the Tsandela's bulkiness (it seems nothing can). However it comes to a stop and stays in the air much more calmly and stabilized than the Tsandela which allows you to stay in the same position relative to your opponent no matter how much they move. It also moves much more accurately, making it a good helipad tech.

It has a good bit of excess thrust due to the powerful hoverbugs, so if you lose some parts it's ok. Just try not to let anyone get above you.

I hope you enjoy your slicc moving helicopter!
