CAV-1200 Combat Gunship

The Angle is Mikado's preferred combat and transport ship.

History
During the Troikas' commerical days, the TAV-1100 Haulers proved to be a relieving sight for stricken merchants and settlements connected to their trade network but, to help protect these trade routes from pirates, Tuscan ordered the Conservationists to develop a modified prototype of the Hauler as a Gunship.

He was meant to be the pilot when the vehicle was finally constructed but he has misjudged the size of the vehicle as he grew far too quickly, likely caused by exposure to the Yellow Blood substance that they used as the ship's lubricant.

He entrusts the ship to Mikado Troika III whose body allowed him to fit in the rather tiny cockpit. Accidentally, this also discourage others from trying to take the yokes of the aircraft as he hauls a visiting Professor Ozpin to Beacon and that it gave them the ticket through the obscuring fog.

Description
Painted in the signature black and yellow colors of the family, the CAV-1200 is a well armed combat ship designed purely to provide support for the pilot's teammates on the ground.

Armed with a 20mm Cannon, Mikado's custom built rocket pods and missile launchers, this flying crocodile serves more than a painful reminder when fighting this machine.

To help protect it from enemy attack, the ship is coated and reinforced with material to help it withstand even against crushing weapons including hammers, grenades, rockets and even armor-piercing sniper rounds.

While homing weapons are scarce from Mikado's experience, in pure hindsight, the owner went to add softkill measures and a rear AA weapon to fend off airborne threats.

The Angle not only serves as a heavy weapons platform, it could also transport up to 4 additional passengers, enough for a Team of allied Hunters to their location.

Weaknesses
The ship, while dangerous in a physical fight, is vulnerable to boarding attempts by faster, and more nimble foes and won't withstand against a fleet of armed ships. It could never outpace a lighter armoured and armed airship, whose weapons may be only for defense purposes.

The pilot is also exposed to enemy fire when the canopy has been breached by any form of bullet while the passengers disembarking can be at risk being shot at when deployed in the open.

It also hardly runs quiet and can be picked up by radar if Mikado flies to high in the air and it can be heard long before it is seen.
