While I love the GAL and it's function, I can't help but to dream a little of a small, mid/low altitude, medium speed light transport air vehicle.
In my mind, it would fit nicely into many roles, primary being:
* Transport of small teams
Spec Sheet:
Crew: 1 Pilot, 3/4 Passengers
Speed: Balanced with others (slower than mossie and other "jet" style air cav), primarily flight mode = hovering
Weapons: Door/Gunner controlled something small
Many of us would link this to the Little
Bird in the battlefield series, or even the samson in Avatar (for PS version, remove all / most of the guns). This would offer a small team a much lower profile than a Galaxy transport and give them some options to conduct espionage behind enemy lines. Currently this is handled by the mossie since everyone can cert it, you can get anywhere on your own. Given the added depth of PS2, I could see a niche filled by this little guy.
Thoughts?
