An Entity of Type : dbkwik:resource/7dvzqjDNE44s3Bw27n2BUw==, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

The GAN-36 Osprey can fly with no limits. However, it has very poor armor and the pilot is unable to eject from the craft if it is destroyed in midair. It has two seats; the first for the pilot who has access to a chaingun with infinite ammo and pilots the VS, while the second is for the gunner who uses the two other weapons mounted to the front. Some of these have been modified to act as troop transports and can hold multiple soldiers or one VS inside or under them.

abstract	The GAN-36 Osprey can fly with no limits. However, it has very poor armor and the pilot is unable to eject from the craft if it is destroyed in midair. It has two seats; the first for the pilot who has access to a chaingun with infinite ammo and pilots the VS, while the second is for the gunner who uses the two other weapons mounted to the front. Some of these have been modified to act as troop transports and can hold multiple soldiers or one VS inside or under them. The VS itself closely resembles the V-22 Osprey tilt-rotor helicopter, which is used by the U.S. Marine Corps. The real-life Osprey is most often painted gray and features a "coffin" cockpit system with blue sensors on the pilot's canopy panel which act as scanning systems for the pilots view screens. The bullets fired from the pilot's gatling gun (called a Vulcan in the VS manual) are as strong as the integrated chain guns on other VSs, though an increased rate of fire increases damage output. The transport variant lacks this weapon. The Osprey is a maneuverable craft, but pays for this with very light armor. Heavy infantry fire will be sufficient to destroy it, and any VS weaponry is sure to be a critical threat. The gunner's dual weapon mount is located on a ball turret that has 180 degrees of rotation and roughly 45 degrees of elevation and 90 degrees of depression. The gunner can eject from the craft while in the air, but the pilot must land it. A transport variant of the Osprey appears in multiplayer that carries a large open metal cage, serving as a platform for troops to be carried into battle or extracted from hostile situations. Unfortunately, this large addition makes for a larger target and even worse armor; on top of that, the Vulcan/Chain gun is absent, leaving the pilot unable to defend himself without the help of a gunner. In campaign cinematics, Transport Ospreys carry a fully enclosed transport pod, capable of seating 6 or more and equipping surveillance and intelligence equipment. These pods also include a set of landing gear at the front to absorb the shock of landing. Also, Ospreys can be seen transporting VSs like the Drio and Granseed instead. This ability is not available to the player in campaign or multiplayer.
