We know for a fact that MTACs are going to be added at some point in the future. Almost certainly post-release, but other than SOONGäó I haven't seen a confirmed date for them to show up.
They're basically mechs, so a lot of people are looking forward to them. |

It's possible they've got a planned medium air vehicle (gunship?) that hasn't been added yet, and figured they'll give us a full small/medium/large range for both vehicle types just to cover their bases. |

We're pretty sure fighters will be light, while gunships will be heavy. Nobody is really sure about bombers.
*facepalm* oops.
So that explains it.
We have a medium air vehicle. We have light and heavy land vehicles. It's logical to include the unused options for if and when those other vehicle types are created. |

So does that mean a dropship isn't a vehicle?
Either you're missing my point, or I'm very confused.
Land vehicles:
Light
(Medium)
Heavy
Air vehicles
(Light)
Medium
(Heavy)
When written like (this), indicates that the vehicle class doesn't have any in-game examples yet.
CCP have one vehicle of each class (light, medium, heavy), and have provided graphics for all sizes of both land and air vehicles for convenience, so they don't need to code them in later. |

So you're saying that gunships (equivalent to an Apache) are bigger than Dropships (equivalent to a Blackhawk)?
Real world equivalents would suggest the exact opposite, and Gunships should be LIGHT aircraft. |
