The Walrus is an all-purpose basic transport for military operations. It is designed to ferry both personnel and ammunition to the battlefield. Although not as heavy duty as some other transports, the Walrus is relatively inexpensive to build, and runs entirely off of battery power, meaning that fuel can be conserved for more combat-purpose vehicles. Due to this lack of fuel requirements, it is also common to see unarmed versions of the craft used around industrial sites.

FLIGHT DYNAMICS

The gunship was built and tested within a Martian Atmosphere, therefore, in theory, it should work better in thicker atmospheres, and is more responsive in lower gravity.

For night flying, there are 2 lights (2 front, 2 below) for flying. I have also included a proximity warning system, that will sound an alarm whenever you are within 5m of the ground. You can use the sensor to adjust these parameters, or turn off the sound block from the pilot's seat if you wish to fly low without being annoyed.

Note that the side thrust exists solely to stabilize your hover. You should treat the gunship similarly to a helicopter, in that, when turning, it is important to bank to the side to stop your sideways movement with the downward thrust, but do not bank so much that you begin to fall.
