Anvil

I really loved this craft. I use it on most of my runs that I need cash from!

@openroadracer: about the sea-belly, I originally intended for it to be a sea vessel, something like the Grumman HU-16 Albatross. It used to have pontoons on it, but I figured they were a bit redundant, so I removed them.

@8t88: The reason that it's only using two ammo instead of three, is that the 2 transform mounts that I added maybe the only two that are actually dealing damage. The third one may only be cosmetic, I'm not quite sure.

Sorry about that, I didn't know if the the weapon mounts were cosmetic, or if they actually multiplied the damage until after I had uploaded it. I had just switched to the indev version and played a few days checking out the upgrades before I tested this model, so I wasn't sure if the extra damage was from the multiple mounts, or the upgrades (I only tested the MG's in the "tri-slot").

People will load it up how they want, but I originally intended for it to fire x3 MG's and the payload for them to be tripled as well, so that it couldn't be "overloaded". We can't mod to that degree yet, so I just did what I could to experiment and learn more about the transforms.

With all of what I just posted aside, this thing is still packing the ability to drop three times the Warhammers on anything you really need dead in a real ****ing hurry.

The ability to pack two sets of 'Hammers on the Anvil is quite insane, considering that each slot with 'Hammers becomes a TRIPLE SET if you have one in the right-hand slot.

But if you're looking to run it more like a gunship, install a set of AC/40s in the right-hand slot, with anything else you like for the other slots. Three 40mm rounds all falling close together should make a hell of a mess.

@ 8t88: You think this machine's impressive?

You need to look at the A14 Raptor and the F44 Rapier II .

The former gets QUAD EVERYTHING and can carry a total load of 64 Estocs + 12 Turbo Micro-Missiles + Quad Vulcans + a Dodge system.

The latter, well... How do you think YOU would react after your enemy just unloaded EIGHT Flail MIRVs in your general direction? Just load one set of MIRVs in the right-hand slot and another set of them in any other slot. I prefer putting a regular Vulcan in the bottom weapon slot to reduce the spread of my guns, and pack Turbo Micro-Missiles and a Dodge system to round out the package.

So no, the Anvil is NOWHERE near the most over-****ing-powered Workshop aero in the game. Not by a long shot.

to 8t88: I actually did something like that... But failed to upload it :D

I think there was a aero called raptor that did quadsies
sill a nice hefty bomber is good to have

Interesting. I didn't it was possible to mod an AERO to shoot multiple projectiles at once.

Also, this gunship is so overpowered if you fly it with twin RKT-H Estocs. Equipping an estoc in one slot gives you 16 rockets instead of the usual 8, and so equipping two gives you a whopping 32 rockets to spam with. Interestingly, each shot consumes two ammo at once, even though the description says the AERO shoots three shots simultaneously.

Also it'd be nice to see a more agile variant, again with twin-guns but with the stats of a DRAKON fighter.

I take it the boat-like shaping of the fuselage is deliberate?

I can see this aircraft being like a jet-propelled version of aircraft like the PBY Catalina [en.wikipedia.org] flying boat. Would be interesting to have it able to "land" on water.
