"Stormbolt ready to rule the skies!"

-A Stormbolt leaving the Aeronautic Complex

Tactical analysis

 * Keeping the skies blue: Armed with powerful quad cannons cannons the Stormbolt can destroy the toughest planes in record time or obliterate whole squadrons of helicopters in an instant. Such is the speed and maneuverability of the Stormbolt that no lock-on is necessary; the Stormbolt can drop behind targets with such ease that the pilot need to do little more than sight the target and fire.


 * Jetting out: When out of ammo, health, or even enemies, the Stormbolt can set its jet engines to full burn and streak back to base, getting there in a blink of an eye and dodging most attacks. However, as it dumps most of its fuel in this burn, it cannot stop until it reaches base.
 * But the ground still fights: Of course, all this power comes at a steep price, as the Stormbolt is unable to strike against ground targets and its armor is rather fragile. And in the rare times the Stormbolt is brought down the the resultant explosion tend to be spectacular.


 * Cloud Breaker: If the bleeding edge weaponry the Stormbolt has isn't enough, the Stormbolt is also being equipped with autocannons holding heavier hitting shrapnel round and 4 rattler missiles, which blinds enemy pilots before the Stormbolt engage. Though so far only the most skilled pilots are granted this advantage, it means the enemy is less able to swamp the Stormbolt with numbers, leaving one less of the few options the enemy has against this wonder weapon.
