the Attack Cruiser

The Attack Cruiser is a small, off-road vehicle that the GI Joe team can use to scout out the enemy - and obliterate them! It is armed with numerous guns, as well as a missile launcher and a versatile 'glider bomb' unmanned aerial vehicle.

The Attack Cruiser's operators can use it to fly reconnaisance missions over Cobra positions - or if necessary, crash it into them to eliminate their foes spectacularly! The Attack Cruiser is mighty indeed, and possesses these vehicular characteristics:

Communications Array: the Attack Cruiser is equipped with a gigahertz frequency, frequency wobbler clandestine operations radio system, providing constant team communications. This makes for rank value 10 comm power (with a 25 mile range), with rank value 30 signal encryption.

Dual Missiles: mounted on each side of the Attack Cruiser's UAV launcher are these two projectiles. They are surface-to-surface missiles, and if both strike a single target, they will inflict +1 RS to the damage listed below:

Glider Bomb: this unmanned aerial vehicle can be launched from the back of the Attack Cruiser to surveil any given area. It has a 200 mile range, and can also be used as a guided missile by its operator when necessary. The Glider Bomb has these capabilities:

Mines: the Attack Cruiser can spit mines out of a dispenser on its left side, which are handy when dealing with enemy armor. These pressure-sensitive devices will explode when triggered to inflict rank value 40 Slashing (fragmentary) damage to whatever set them off.

Twinned Machine Guns: each side of the Attack Cruiser features a twinned set of machine guns. They can each fire a short burst of ammunition to inflict rank value 20 Piercing damage, or be fired continuously to inflict rank value 30 Piercing damage.
