[NS] Glatisant Harasser

Description

The Glatisant was NS' second vehicle to land a contract with the Nadia military. Intended for CAS and patrol roles, it was still agile enough to defend itself in the absence of air superiority. Building on lessons learned from the Malebolge, it had a longer lifespan and cost less to build.

NS' focus on manufacturability over repairability ('it's disposable!') continued to make them no friends among the soldiers. The Excalibur Initiative was not popular in the martially-minded Nadia Republic to begin with (despite its necessity), and many viewed NS' philosophy on manufacturing as borderline contemptuous of their history.

⨴ No stabilisation - careful on the turret and in VTOL.
⨴ Careful on the controls above Mach 1 - the nacelles won't take the g-forces at those speeds.

Built for RLM #7, but was blasted pretty heavily because people reckon it isn't a plane. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

1.5x scale.

Built from 30% recycled parts. Do your bit to help the environment!

Techniques devised during the design of the Lohengrin (triangular bracecube hulls and toring thrust vectoring systems) have proved most useful.

Screenshots are a mix/match of the A and C versions. The C version added winglets and replaced the rear spikes with an engine cowling.

Thrust-vectoring propeller turbines are essential to this craft; they provide unmatched turning capability and serve as control surfaces even when not running. Similarly, the amount of props in each turbine makes them critical to the craft's aerodynamics - and prone to separating explosively from the craft under high loads.

Harassers are offensive support craft.
They loiter around the battlefield for extended periods, tying up adversaries so other units can dispose of them and providing coordinated support for allied forces on the ground. They're focused on endurance and survivability, and usually equipped with lighter weaponry.
