It can be upgraded with the Mega Barrage upgrade, doubling the number of missiles fired with the barrage power, also purchased at the airpad at a cost of 800 resource. In-game, it is considered an "über unit," and is constructed at the airpad, requiring six population, 900 resources, and a tech level of four. It is also equipped with a pair of hull-mounted autocannons that are powerful, but weaker than their appearance might lead you to believe. Gameplay Ī slow unit which can take massive amounts of damage before destruction, the Vulture is slower than other UNSC aircraft, such as the AV-14 Hornet and the AV-22 Sparrowhawk, but is armed with a number of missile artillery pods for engaging enemy air units, and is able to fire large barrages of missiles at ground targets. This, coupled with the amount of time it takes to build one, means that the Vulture is usually only reserved for difficult and lengthy battle situations. Įffective use of the Vulture requires highly trained UNSC pilots and gunners, which makes them expensive to use. A twin A-74 Sylver Vertical Missile Launcher allows the Vulture to launch devastating rocket barrages which blanket a wide area. Two pairs of GUA-23/AW/Linkless Feed Autocannons are used for targeting individual ground units, while two Argent V Missile Launchers mounted in the rear give it anti-aircraft firepower. The Vulture's armaments mean even a handful of these aircraft can level an enemy stronghold or an entire city. It is suspended by a series of directed-thrust jets on the craft's underside and, while its large size makes the Vulture slow, it can sustain incredible amounts of damage before final destruction.
However, Materials Group is contemplating the revival of the AC-220, albeit with the newest tech and improved materials.
ĭue to immense combat losses of the AC-220 by at least 2545, the AC-220 has slowly faded out of service. The largest ground-based aircraft fielded by the UNSC, the Vulture was originally produced to combat the rebel threat during the early years of the Insurrection, though its use during this conflict was viewed as unethical due to craft's immense firepower.
