====== Aircraft ======

The game comes with four different aircraft, which are grouped into two types:
  * fixed wing: [[aircraft#Albatross|Albatross]] and [[aircraft#manta|Manta]]
  * rotary: [[aircraft#razorbill|Razorbill]] and [[aircraft#petrel|Petrel]].

===== Fixed Wing =====
Fixed wing aircraft provide heavy strike capabilities with their large loadout capacilities.

Once launched, they can not stop flying. Unless flying to a waypoint or waiting at a hold-waypoint, they will continue flying level in a straight line.

==== Albatross ====
The Albatross is good for visual scouting and identification of targets.

It can be equiped for anti-air, ground strikes or anti-shipping.

Note that a lot of the [[multiplayer|multiplayer communities]] use a [[modding|mod]] that enables the Albatross to carry the AWACS attachment insted of the [[aircraft#manta|Manta]] to avoid it being a straight-up improvement over the Albatross.

==== Manta ====
Faster, thougher and with more attachment slots, the Manta is a powerful multi-role aircraft.

It can carry an AWACS to enable it to be used for locating hostile units.
The camera slot enables fire support mission and identification of targets.

The support slots provide defensive measures against hostile missiles enabling the Manta to try to be able to engage anything.

Note that a lot of the [[multiplayer|multiplayer communities]] use a [Modding|mod]] that disables the Manta's ability to carry the AWACS attachment and gives it instead to the [[aircraft#albatross|Albatross]] to avoid the Manta being a straight-up improvement.

===== Rotary Craft =====
These aircraft will hover in place at the location of their last waypoint even without the use of a hold-waypoint.

Under mannual control they can land on islands, however once returned to AI control they will immediately try to take-off. [[Modding|Mods]] that enable an altitude of zero to be set can be used to keep rotarcraft landed on an island.

==== Petrel====
A tiltrotar heavy lift aircraft that has the ability to carry ground units.

Its amour and large healthpool lets it take some punishment from small arms fire when carrying out low-level operations.

Petrel is great for carrying out stikes on enemeny island and rapidly deploying/recovering ground forces.

The petrel can be ordered to land back on the carry whilst carrying a ground unit. When the petrel comes into land on the carry, the ground unit will instantly re-dock.
