Gunship (The Clash)

The Gunship is an aerial unit created by the Republic. It functions like a mix of the Star Wars LAAT, the Blackhawk from C&C Rise of the Reds and a Combat Chinook from C&C Zero Hour.

Requirements
It requires the player to have reached at least Tier 2 and an Air Base MKI.

Lore
This gunship has been a tried and true stalwart for a good deal of time, its endless permutations making it invaluable to the Republic. It has received many upgrades to keep it current. Right now it's at its 4th iteration.

Equipment
The Gunship is equipped with multiple anti-armor and anti-air missile launchers and high damage plasma repeaters. It also comes with two high damage laser cannons that sweep the sides in an arc, so blindsiding this would be difficult. It also comes with 20 infantry slots with fire ports. As an air unit, it does not have much armor, but are circumvented by the shields that they have. They can also perform Combat Drops on civilian buildings.
