I was just wondering. On River Citys airport, is that shuttle like plane there supposed to be a Fury dropship?

They look pretty similar.
Do you have any other suggestion or do you know what kind of dropship that is.

Honestly I’m pretty sure it’s a Gazelle.

It's a Gazelle. The ones seen crashed on Tourmaline and Frozen City are oversized, but the same ship class.

Thanks. I was wondering how an Union or Overlord would look like on the Airfield in River City and needed something to scale it to....man these ships are huge IF the Gazelle is scaled correctly in the map.


Green is the Gazelle, red are Union and blue are Overlord dropships.
Thing is they would fit on the landingpads at the airport...just even so.

Looking at the Citadel and the Overloard next to it...these ships are massive. Is there a way to extract the maps from the game? Would like to place an Overload next to the citadel just for the fun of it.

Honestly it's probably neither but closer to the possibility of being a Fury class than a Gazelle class.

The Fury is an mechanized infantry transport with a payload of four infantry platoons and eight light vehicles. Light vehicles are classified as being between 5-50 tons. That dropship looks no where near large enough to fit eight fifty ton vehicles and over a hundred infantry troops as well as support crews and the dropship's crew.

The Gazelle dropship is a conventional vehicle carrier with a typical payload of twelve to fifteen heavy vehicles. A heavy vehicle is between 55 to 100 tons. And this is why it's is unlikely that this is a Gazelle because once again that dropship on the runway doesn't look large enough to carry fifteen hundred ton vehicles in it.

Also the ship on the runway seems to not have deployment ramps for vehicles at all. I think it's probably a passenger craft with a tonnage of around 800 - 900 tons (about half the size of a Fury and one third the size of a Gazelle)

Hope we get to see Union and Overlord dropships in MW5..

Since they were in the original trailer, I imagine we will...
