Sweet, I love the orca! Though I must ask something that has bugged me for some time now about the Rutter mechanics for this style, is it safe to say that the Rutter spins because of a chain or belt that revolves around the exterior of the Rutter; within the casing?
At first, I was seriously confused about what you're talking about.
But then I realised you mean "rotor." Though, the proper name for the thing is usually "ducted fan," I'm not sure if it still applies with that small a shroud.
Could be anything from a simple chain or a electro motor in the core or, if they want to go the extra 'USA HiTech!' mile, there's even magnetically levitated ones.
Given how thin they are, I'd probably go with one of the later two, though the centre seems a bit small to have an engine there and MagLev ones don't really need the three struts in the centre which I'm pretty sure will **** with efficiency. Definitely doubt the chain, though. Between "Lotsa moving parts" and feeling a wee bit primitive, for all the HiTechz0rz!
Too much of a ramble? Have a few pretty pictures instead.

Looks either like a nice mix of C&C and Avatar. Though, I'm not sure how much I'd think that if the name was different.
That aside, though, is having two magnetic accelerators of hypersonic death strictly necessary? :p
Isn't this mod supposed to be a enhancement mod,not a sci-fi mod.you see this is why very few mods are about MODERN warfare with realistic units,come on people;the 80's are over wake up!(No offense to anyone that sees this comment) PS:Please don't send me angry comments in the future.
You're complaining over ducted fan VTOLs in a game that already has orbitally targeted particle beams?
You're right,i'm being kinda a jerk right now.thanks for replying
Just because it's en enhancement mod, doesn't mean it can't have a "sci-fi theme". You are right about one thing, there are indeed very few mods about modern warfare and realistic units. Do you know why? Because they are boring and generic. Good games, or in this case mods, do not limit themselves by simply simulating what exists, they go a step further to 'enhance' and inspire people's imagination. People who reject things simply because they are not real, shouldn't be playing a 'virtual' game in the first place. Like a friend once told me: "You want realism? Go join the army. That's epic realism."
Wow,thanks for opening my mind,i appreciate you very much for that comment.
Zeke,look i know you're right about that comment,down to the last letter,i shoudn't have wrote it.What i want to say is that i am not" actually a fan of sci-fi",i think that's OK but i like to enjoy more the present than the future,ok?Those are all the words i have to say
The light blue cockpit looks weird, can you make it black like other aircraft?
Did someone say Terran Banshee ?
maybe an young cousin of the orcas in tiberium?
it would be great that someday, somebody make a crossover mod between all command and conquers.
