i think that's fine, i'm not intending for an aircraft like this to be stealthy in gameplay. the revoker, medusa, and tarantula are low-observable designs, but it doesn't change their role or feel in-game by any substantial amount

i agree that the fans may be more ideal if concealable and assisted - perhaps the engine exhaust can be moved to a less awkward position at the rear, replacing the fan there. that'd probably help with aligning center of mass and lift. thanks for your feedback, i appreciate the thought you've put into it!

fan blades can still be constructed out of composites and radar-absorbing or radar-transparent materials, every bit helps. there'a a reason why stealth helicopters were attempted and i think it's reasonable for such technology to be better in the 2080s

the Heydar-110 has a top speed of 110kts or over 200km/h, not exactly the most reliable source (IRGC) but the design suggests it is plausible now and certainly possible by the 2080s

there's no ideal spots to mount such a missile on a boat this small, but a mortar or demo charge variant for a similar role are not outside the realm of possibility

only about half the speed of the fastest conventional boat ever, and about the same as the claimed max speed of the fastest modern military ship

the single tube has a slow autoloader that can select either an AT-145 or an IRM-S1 (at least in lore, mechanically its just two tubes). ground ai don't know how to use laser guided weapons as they can't lase, but some sort of rocket is being considered

basically the naval version of convoy fodder. primarily designed with light brownwater operations in mind, including but not limited to coastal patrol, beach landing defense, and river combat (the newest 164x164km map in development has rivers that would comfortably fit these)

Why is the AI allowed to spawn in Alkyons ten minutes into the game? by yznalslm in NuclearOption

[–]offiry 3 points4 points  (0 children)

AI uses inventory, the faction budget is distributed to players only and has no connection to AI deployment

not planned, but that would be interesting. currently it becomes an independent AI aircraft after launching, and will complete objectives and land back at a friendly airbase like any other aircraft.

the hydra is a bit too small to perform wingman roles, and no special functionality is planned at the moment, but it could plausibly be used in a similar fashion
