The Raptor Gunship

Looks like a vastly updated MI24

3th link not working anymore

Carmina.burana123

Those are both very similar to the kind of thing I had in mind. :-)

Hey Tefler, I realize that I am late to the party for this particular thread, but I thought I'd offer a couple more options for the Raptor, that is if you are entertaining suggestions: - <a href="https://orig00.deviantart.net/7286/f/2011/036/2/d/transport_gunship_by_shimmering_sword-d38w3xw.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://orig00.deviantart.net/7286/f/2011/036/2/d/transport_gunship_by_shimmering_sword-d38w3xw.jpg</a> - <a href="https://www.halopedia.org/G79H-TC_Pelican" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.halopedia.org/G79H-TC_Pelican</a>

I second this motion.

None of those seem large enough as the gunship is described as having two decks. The upper deck being spacious enough for a cockpit with seating for 6+ and a stateroom behind. The lower deck housing an Armoury, Cargo/Troup bay, two side airlocks, a forward personnel ramp and a large rear cargo ramp. Gunship doesn't seem to do it justice, seems more like a Corvette. I should amend that to Dropship.

Nice. I imagined something of a hybrid between the Harrier Dropship and the Grendol.

I'd have to go with the 3rd or 4th one

Each of these gunships are cool but the only gunship that I picture each time I read this story is the gunship from the movie aliens and now all you need is a small troop transport for long distances incase some of the enemies of John's have long range anti-aircraft weapons

Each is cool in their own way... But if you have said there are both front and rear loading ramps, they ain't quite right. lol I know, unless you commission an artist rendering, you can only go with what you can find. :)

The second gunship is pretty cool
