==Overview:==
Although gunships are well enough, what happens when you don't have any?
This was the question that prompted the existance of the HK (hunter-killer)
version of the Ferret.
The cargo bay capacity was removed, making room in the hull for an RL-10. This
weapon not only gives the Ferret a noticible punch, but also allows it to
engage targets at a far greater distance. Additional armor was added to help
protect it against other light aircraft that might come gunning for it.

Fast and under armed...it has too much speed to be to effective IMHO, you need a better balance. Once the RL is gone you don't have much to defend your self and given that the speed rules have changed in TW you are risking losing the VTOL if it has to stay around for any reason.

I re-did it; the version you'll be seeing in the campaign I'll be running has 3 RL 10s; I've abandoned the machine gun.

Too bad you guys will have to rescue the pilot before you'll be allowed to have one.

ROCK-ET ON. The right way to use RLs and VTOLs. These are ICE also, beautiful. Also in one round cover the distance of an LRM launcher. Out-In-Out, ammo load gone, go home and get some more.
AWAD- OK so 1 in 4 gets killed everytime they go in, it still is justifable
