C-110

The C-110 ‘Cerberus’ (named for it’s triple canopy) is the prime USEF VTOL infantry transport. It is as iconic as the X-33 Scimitar in promo-holos and recruitment posters; immediately recognisable by enemies of the Americans as a harbinger of pain.

The C-110 is unarmed, although features several forms of countermeasures to missile attack. Armour is smartly fitted and effective at deflecting small arms fire and some larger calibre weapons, but the C-110 needs escort to survive in live fire environments. The standard procedure is usually for USEF fighters to sweep through an area and destroy AA and flak weapons before the C-110s are deployed. They are extremely vulnerable if deployed without due care.

The ‘shoulder’ mounted thrusters are tricky to master but experienced pilots can manoeuvre the dropship with startling agility, unloading and loading from unlikely landing zones.
