I so should not have shown you those concept arts shouper...... but I think I speak for both of us when I say I can't wait to get myself into one of these babys

I'm wondering how this will affect the other vehicles. It seems like getting air superiority with those could make calling in other vehicles nearly impossible, but also dropships would be pretty threatened.

well Missle Installations (its planned to lock on, wich is why it has a diffrent symobl for the L missle turret installations so aircrafts can notice them on their radar), or any installations would be the bain to this vehicle, Also its a very weak vehicle anyways since its a flying LAV ment for destruction rather then transport.

The LAA is known as the Light attack Aircraft, the jet fighter and by few, the Apache, sevral has asked for a Apache as the LAA where it can hover like a helo, but we know it flys like a jet, well, enough information has piled up to beleive tis BOTH, like a Hawk in WarHawk it can hover, now lets see some concept art, trailers, gamplay and game designer charts of the LAA:

Ok now that we pilots and other anticipaters are excited lets start the conversation, if you are refrancing a link refare to it as a number, thanks!

link 2 I think is the best and I`m changing my current logo (wich is: http://i1303.photobucket.com/albums/ag157/paulcabral82/Signatures/dust.png ) to it.

link 3 has some really cool stuff, I might not actully be piloting by 1 but piloted by 1 with a gunner if they kept the strafe run gun (at the bottum), but I would hope it was only a varient (AND I BET IT IS!). It also shows it has a hover mode (wings up = landed, wings down = hover, wings sideways = flight) it seems to have 1 turret maybe 2 with that varient but again, i hope theres a varient that has 2 s turrets for the pilot in front 9without another gun bellow for strafe runs, we can go parrelel to the ground and do it outselves :P ) the 5th link also shows that it hovers AND has 2 front guns.

Cant wait to blow him up(by hitting the ground)

would these be the new "dropships" coming out in uprising or would these be something else entirely?

would these be the new "dropships" coming out in uprising or would these be something else entirely?

no, theese are a diffrent vehcile entirly, the Assualt DS 9DropShip) is a varient, what we are talkign about are LAAs (Light Attack Aircrafts) wich will have diffrent carients, most liekly 1 will have the bottum turret while others won`t, some would most liekly be liek the enforcer tanks emnt to do strafe runs on tanbks for max damage 9enforcer vHAV varients are weak, slow but do a ton of damage output), I`ve always wnated to see what this fighter would be like with an activated booster on it, WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!

anyways, heres my recently made signiture made by a fellow clanmate of BHD: http://community.us.playstation.com/t5/Starhawk-General/Starhawk-or-Dust/td-p/39028511/page/115

I'd imagine those things will go blindingly fast. That's part of why I doubt we'll see them until we get maps opened up to the full available size.

Waaaaaant.

You missed an old one:

Very short video clip at around the 0:50 mark showing about how long CCP's had these fighters under development.
