British and German Scout Aircraft image - A Wing And A Prayer Mod for Homeworld 2

Scout aircraft for the British and German
airforces.

Ornithopter - The ornithopter mimics the beating
of birds wings to sustain it in flight. This has
the benefit of incredible fuel efficiency, a high
speed and the ability to hover in the same area
for extended periods of time. It is also one of
the few aircraft able to fly through storms with
impunity. These attributes would make the
Ornithopter one of the finest craft in the air
were it not for the downsides of a weak internal
structure that can resist little damage from enemy
fire, and its inability to carry anymore than a
single machinegun. As such it is relegated to
scouting out enemy forces, and to the occasional
skirmish.

Autogyro– like the Ornithopter the Autogyro
possess incredible characteristics thanks to its
unique design, but is also incredibly fragile in
combat. Scout aircraft are indeed such easy
targets that many fighter pilots consider it bad
form to attack one without due provocation or a
direct order to do so. None the less the Autogyro
has a vital role to play in scouting out enemy
forces, and occasionally engaging enemy scouts.
