"Bell Boeing V-30 Cobra"
...
...the concept for the V-30 Cobra fast attack and response gunship was developed in the early year of 2025 due to the necessity of fast, reliable and durable transport that would ensure the safety of troops lives in the combat zone. How ever production of the V-30 Cobra would not begin until late 2027 due in part to failing standard military grade tests that indicated several key flaws that would've disabled the aircraft in hazardous combat conditions.
"...once official production of the V-30 Cobra had begun the necessity for previous, older aircraft models such as the MH-6 Little Bird and AH-1Z Viper attack/troop transport vehicles became unnecessary, thus becoming fazed out of the United States aircraft arsenal. The V-30 was, during that same year of 2028 to see it's first "In-Combat" action during the Iran/Iraq seismic quakes (March 27th, 2028) providing SPECTER support (and eventual emergency x-ville) to United States Special Operations units in the area securing classified information..."
"..since then the V-30 Cobra became a notably effective and successful fast action VTOL in military tactical insertions/action against enemy units - though since the Bell Boeing series has always been considered by the military as means of transport, they have had a lack of and offensive weaponry; however, turret attachment can be stationed on both sides of the troop compartment, where the possibility of providing supporting firepower becomes a reality. Though because of its size both the actual pilots section and troop compartment are rather small in size allowing for more issue/possible mishaps to become catastrophic in nature. For example if the pilot were to be injured or killed in action, because of its single pilot operating system a second pilot would not be able to take control of the primary pilots controls, saving the mission/operation. This was somewhat countered by the main, primary weapon - a rotary cannon or more commonly known as the M134 Minigun (7.62 mm). meant for defensive/offensive measures against enemy units within the weapons radius..."
Well, I have not be as active lately as I would've liked <.< but we all know life has it's difficulties and such. I'm hoping with summer right around the conner to become more active and such. This is all I have to show for my activity ;-;
But none the less I'm proud of my little VTOL, it took quite a lot of hard work (a lot of SNOT and NPU too :3) and some help from our good ol'flickr pal Andreas to help me along the way. So shout out to him for the help! On another note I wanted to talk about the V-30 Cobra itself, non-fancydesc. style, its basically the Halo: 3 Hornet combined with the Halo: Reach Falcon.
On an interesting note, I came up with the name upon remembering the old Red vs. Blue flag symbols (Halo Combat Evolved). Red the Cobra (or snake) and Blue the Falcon (or hawk, bird thing) none the less I'm a die hard Red Team fan so here's to commemorate Red Team!
