Been replaying some Arma 3 recently and rediscovered the Blackfish. If a AC-130 was mashed with a V-22 Osprey. I feel like this is actually quite fitting for VTOLVR given its mix of aircraft designs and multi-role capabilities.
Features:
- VTOL (V22 Osprey)
- Gunship (AC130 type armament with 105mm, 40mm and 20mm)
- Cargo Space (Transport Capabilities)
- Large Aircraft (we don't have any flyable large aircraft currently)
- Fictional Aircraft (allowing more creative freedom)
- Multicrew (Crew size of 2 is just fine for VTOLVR I don't see why it'd need more)
I'm thinking that the Gunship Module and Cargo Space are interchangeable in the Armoury menu, making players plan more strategically as well as balancing the aircraft gameplay wise. Could even add an AWACS module in future.
In Arma 3 all the systems are controlled within the Cockpit which is ideal for VTOL as it can allow some interactivity between pilot and Gunner. Although it'd be cool, this also means Baha wouldn't have to create a whole new loading system for Gunners unlike in the AC-130 where the crew is stationed in the back.
Obviously I'm not saying Baha should create an Identical V44x because I don't think Bohemia would appreciate that, but I'd say it provides great inspiration for a new LARGE aircraft as we don't currently have one.
