"Called for transport?"

-Lilac leaving the Experimental Workshop

The Lilac is the transport VTOL craft of the Salkoy Strike Forces. Planned to be voiced by ???

Tactical analysis

 * Like a soaring eagle: The Lilac is a relatively new addition to Salkoy experimental mechanical airforce. Capable of carrying ten infantry squads and delivering them to their destination over any terrain. In addition, it can also aid in expansion of Salkoy borders by transporting Saplings across the battlefield.
 * Hit like a boar: The Lilac is also capable of defending itself and provide close air support with a pair of door-mounted light mortars. Highly effective against enemy infantry and vehicles, which also produce a concussive blast that briefly stuns the enemy, giving its passengers time to disembark
 * Slippery as a snake: The lightweight frame of the Lilac also makes it incredibly fast and invisible on radar, allowing the commander to send in a raiding force or forward base within enemy lines and can even evacuate the raiding force if needed
 * Squirrel tactics: Like most other transport helicopters, the Lilac cannot take sustained concentrated AA fire, doubly so foot then due to sacrificing armor for speed. Also, its slow speed compared to fixed wings makes it an easy target for fighters and interceptors. Due to the fact that the loss of a Lilac will also result in the loss of everyone in it, and while it’s invisible in radar it’s not invisible on visual, thus Lilacs should avoid AA units/defenses which will immediate fire upon them once within range

Trivia

 * It is based on the Hachiman Aerial Transport from Red Alert Paradox.
