Welcome to Command & Conquer Generals Zero:Hour Unleashed, or Zero Hour: Unleashed (ZHU) for short. ZHU is a partial conversion mod of Zero Hour, staying within the basic premise of the original game but tremendously modifying and improving it.
One of the best all-round aircraft in the GLA arsenal, the Vulture, which was based off the old P-38 Lightning, is a powerful fighter-bomber. While of course slower than more modern jet fighters, it is well-armoured for an aircraft, allowing it to sustain more ground fire than jets so it can bring its arsenal to bear against AA-protected targets. Its main anti-ground weapons are eight powerful high-explosive rockets, which can cause massive damage to any ground target; its secondary weapons, four 30mm autocannons, can be used against infantry, light vehicles and any aircraft that stray too close to devastating efficiency. Finally, it has a dual machine gun turret behind the cockpit, which can engage any other aircraft from any angle, protecting the Vulture from interceptors during ground attack runs.
Good model!! Simple and deadly looking aircraft!!
maybe you could update this to include the nose mounted .50's and cannon
This was actually a surprise sprung by IPS, I was planning on including a plane from Crimson Skies (the Kestrel) that's based on the P-38 (or at least, looks somewhat like it), and he turned it into this hybrid P-38/Kestrel/completely new design. IMO it looks better than both of the other planes.
Besides, it has four 30mm autocannons. It doesn't need .50cals :P (And there are coding limitations, but that's another matter entirely.)
and it's from shw
i thought it was some sort of p-38 bomber thing. nice model btw.
