concept for a new vehicle (its almost like a joke but i see the potential)

[uncut timber]

i know that we are not allowed to control infantry vehicles, but hear me out.

basically, its a vtol aircraft that is designed to fly from one place to another like a dropship, while also acting as a air defence/anti tank platform when landed. it can deploy vehicles into combat like a tarantula while attacking enemy vehicles at the same time. not just like covering the vehicles, being a land vehicle itself. and when it's job is done, it flies back to base to resupply

if the need for transport in not needed, you could just help support other key locations using anti-air or anti-tank weapons. i know this is op, so to counterreact this, it would be hard for small arms fire/AGMs to kill, but AAMs could take it down in an instant.

idea based on A-GEARs from Ace Online. looked up the Antonov A-40 so i thought it might be a biiiiit realistic (example pictures below.)

everyones hating on this and admittedly i get it, however the idea of gliding airdrops is absolutely hilarious and i would love a game i could do such in, give my hexhounds a comically large deployable hang glider.

in ace online, A-Gears are flyable tanks. the strategy when using them is basically like a footsoldier - move to a position, destroy the enemy, repeat. the flying mechanic is only there because the game is supposed to be an air combat mmo.

i find them even scarier than any other plane ingame.

Could be a neat drone

cool but that’s about as bad of a fit for NO’s setting as I can think of, no offense
