Fortress Chinook Artillery Carrier

This tech is a combination of the Fortress Chinook MkI and the Fortress Artillery MkI. The Artillery's main weakness was its difficulty making it over rough terrain. This weakness is eliminated by the addition of a Chinook carrier on the back. The Chinook can carry and deploy the Artillery into the drop zone much faster than the Artillery could on its own. Press X to deploy the Artillery. It is recommended that you deploy the Artillery before its fuel reserves are depleted.

This tech uses the hover bug, but traditional roll and pitch controls still work while in the air. Keep the tech level until about 500 or 600 feet, then angle it down slightly to get higher speeds. Once the Artillery is deployed, the pitch controls are reversed on the Chinook.

This is the new version, and thanks to a suggestion by MindlessMrAwesome, I added the hover bug to the Chinook. This caused an extreme increase in turn rate. I also increased the fuel storage so that the thrusters will last longer while the Artillery is attached to the Chinook.

Also, here's a clarification based on a comment on the last model; this is a long range artillery. In short range combat it is mostly useless on its own. The point of this design was to blow your enemy up from way, way off, then move into to collect the goods.
