To engage fast air , simply swap the shell types to your own favourite 3 and 4 block AA shells
Flies at 48 MS-1 with limited evasive moves and and an aggressive 400 meter attack pattern.

Putting metal plates over the lower forward thruster gives a tiny armor bonus but was a mistake, they limit the main guns firing arc to 359 degrees (remove the 5 plates to avoid the turret jamming)

@Tetsu, heli frame almost done, has a space for a solid 360 gun in the nose, 2 wing hardpoints for missiles or light cannon, just engines,AI,and sensors to go

Hey nooby, didn't get to PM u anyhoo accept my request, I'd like to collab with you in future
Could you build me a midsize 1rotor heli frame? Like no need to fill in the detailing, just a couple lines, acbs, engines, to where it would fully move in combat mode? I really hate to ask, sorry
So i'm thinking I can do some armour tetrising(the one thing I can actually do well) and just build up a really detailed and nice-looking helo with mimics and triangles
And because of the offset function on mimics and non-collision on spinblocks I think I can squeeze in a BEEFY cannon in 5 barrel 122mm FSHP
In return I'll credit you and also give you one of my newer tanks( 13k earlygame) for you to do whateeever you want with, including publishing unchanged with a new paintjob and not crediting me. not joking, I will give you a well-built tank(needs more tread armour tbh)
Sorry for ranting on a bit here, but I figured given ur hrs in FTD you might be able to help

Im impressed by how this impact gun works on soft and medium armour, I might build a high velocity version, does anyone know what happened to our gravity weapon shells?
