UNSC AV-22 Sparrowhawk

Name: AV-22 Sparrowhawk

Aircraft Type: VTOL, Strike Craft, Anti-Armor

Faction: United Nations Space Command

Wiki description:

First introduced in 2531, the Hawk is a formidable air-to-ground anti-tank aerodyne. It is used by the UNSC in a ground support and anti-armor role to hunt tanks and support ground advances.[2] Developed during the early years of the Human-Covenant war, it first saw action on the planet Harvest during the end months of the Harvest Campaign. Although the Sparrowhawk was in wide production during the first decade of the war, the general cost of repairing and replacing it, as well as problems with its ducted fan propulsion system, limited the craft's deployment after 2550.

Despite the Hawk's official designation as an Attack VTOL, the sheer weight of firepower it can wield caused some branches of the UNSC to classify it as a gunship.

This is yet another one that flies really well, though it's safe to say that the Sparrowhawk is next to useless against air targets. Unlike the Hornet, which is small and light enough to run rights around some of the pirate drones in the vanilla SE game, the Sparrowhawk's ability to turn is reduced (due to its size) but its firepower is immense. Ground and stationary targets will be ill suited to deal with an attack run from a squadron of these guys; once I got the hang of it (as you will see in the video I will later post) I was able to do several strafing runs against the main pirate base on the Earth planet and flew off with only minimal damage.

Woe to the skirmish where the enemy team is composed of tanks, this thing's gonna definitely smoke 'em.
