Tactical Analysis

• Heavy lifting: The Huntsman was designed from the ground up to transport a single International Inc defence to keep customers military mobile if their doctrine requires.

• Improvised Hunter: In addition to transport, the Huntsman can also integrate its cargo as its weapon, becoming an anti-infantry/vehicle/air attack helicopter.

• Incompatible Armament: Due to differences in designs, lacking of attachment points and for the pure purpose of keeping it simple, the Huntsman can not transport or interface with any non-II defence.

• Hard Landing: Experienced Huntsman Pilots with a few contracts under their belt tend to purchase additional failsafes, including a unique ejection system to save the pilot, though not without putting them out of commission for the rest of the battle, and parachutes and shock-absorbent landing legs for their cargo that ensure the carried defence deploy on landing if the terrain permits it. ANd the newer system allows them to pick up and deploy the turret almost in an instant.

Operational History

The Huntsman Adaptive Gunship is a brand new International Inc offering for countries that need both a gunship to start off their fledgling air forces, and a heavy lifter to transport easily set up prefabricated defenses.

Designed due flagging sales of Dozers, International Inc. soon set upon figuring out what the problem was; the answer was that defences could not move, and would not fit into some customers doctrines. As a result the Huntsman Adaptive Gunship was designed to solve this problem. Based off the Allied failed Multigunner Copter, given by a former Allied worker, the Huntsman Adaptive Gunship is capable of stripping down down defenses and using their components to equip the helicopter with either machine guns when picking up a Guard Bunker, a cannon when picking up a Battle Turret, or air-to-air missiles when picking up a SAM Site.

The Allied failed Multigunner Copter, used as a template for the Huntsman

An upgrade kit for the Huntsman has been designed that adds an innovative ejection system to the Huntsman, to make sure that pilots do not get injured or killed upon ejection, the rotors have now been designed to be able to be jettisoned to avoid shredding the pilots, and the canopy is jettisoned as well before the pilot ejects. Due to its expense it is usually only available to experienced pilots.

Behind the Scenes
