Description: The Omega Low Altitude Assault Vehicle,or 0-LAAV for short,was designed due to the need for a specialized anti-tank aerial platform. The O-LAAV was designed with speed in mind,to hit the enemy hard and fast before they even had time to register what happen. To do this,the O-LAAV needed a good amount of firepower in its arsenal,the main armament was chosen to be a Dual Heavy Auto Blaster Cannon,capable of punching through light to medium armored vehicles easily,the other two armaments were interchangeable due to changing battlefield conditions,the first one was 20 40mm Free-Fire Rockets,used to take down stationary targets,dug in infantry and light armored vehicles,the second one was 10 80mm Missiles,used to take out moving targets,bunkers and medium to heavy armored vehicles. The O-LAAV also carries a small compliment of soldiers,six to be exact,with enough space for them to store all their gear. While this platform is great,it does not come without its disadvantages,one being the fact that it is lightly armored,due to the fact it relies more on speed than anything else,another being that it has to stop to unload its troops,meaning it is vunerable for up to half a minute.

First problem I see with this is that gunships don't really carry troops. It's antithetical to their purpose, which is fire support. In the beginning, some gunships got made that did, but on the whole most recent gunship subs lack passengers.

That said, I feel like this could occupy a nice niche between the Peregrine, which is primarily anti-infantry, and the Inimica, which is a heavy assault platform. Something like a vehicle hunter killer.
