You mean like THIS one:



What isn't to like about 4 Longtoms, 6 ER PPCs, 4 Arrow IVs and a Machine gun?

Umm...

Long Tom Cannon = 20 tons each (+ more for ammo)
ER-PPC = 7 tons each
Arrow IV launcher = 15 tons each (+ more for ammo)
Machine Gun = 0.5 tons each (+ more for ammo)

Assuming each ammunition-based weapon has only one ton of ammo, the weapon load you're describing has a mass of 191.5 tons...

The canon upper limit for VTOLs is 30 tons.
VTOLs, like all combat vehicles, operate on a "zero heat" rule - it needs to have enough heat sinks to dissipate all of the heat that would be generated from firing all of its energy weapons at once.

Does MW:LL actually allow a VTOL like the one pictured to be used during a game?

Heh, no. That's a bit of an inside joke with KingLeerUK (Project Director). Viva la Hawkmoth D!

Now it looks as though I may not need to wait for a patch for VTOL fun, with MA3 coming out as well.
