Drawn by the amazing -
https://mattplog.deviantart.com/This is a re-take on the Jade Falcon's Turkina. I will say that I wasn't a fan of the Turkina, if only visually. It, to my eyes looked fat and dumpy, and the shoulder joints would be nightmares as you've got the LRM's firing basically THROUGH the joint assembly for the arms, plus its dinky lil legs looked too small to support the top weight of the body.
So when I commissioned this, I wanted it to look more Attack Helicopter, instead of Zepplin in terms of looks. To keep the sleek and somewhat squat lines intact, the LRM's are now in an angled VLS configuration instead of the standard box launchers, this keeps the profile down. The body is now more narrow and angular but the broad shoulders remain which were almost a hallmark of the Turkina chassis. Still with her slimmer body the result is still a more narrow profile when viewed frontally (probably has the same issue as a Marauder, narrow frontal profile, HUGE side aspect).
As this is an upgrade the weapons were changed.
Gone is the grossly inefficient pair of LB-5X and in their place is a HAG-20 with 2 tons of ammo. The LRM's also get 2 tons each for more endurance and now have Artemis V. The paired ER PPC's remain, whilst an ECM is added.
As always, thoughts and comments are appreciated :)
