The Pirata Flyer is an airborne unit of the Vinci. Lightly armored but well armed, Pirata Flyers serve as the backbone of Pirata's air fleet, which played a crucial role in Miana's cause to liberate the whole nation from Venucci's grip.

Description[]

The Pirata have taken to air machines like ducks take to water; building on standard Vinci inventions, they have added several modifications to the basic flyer to vastly improve its defense, speed, and firepower.

The Pirata Flyer is the mainstay of the Vinci air arm, and enhanced versions are also available with even more speed and attack at their command. The most elite of the Pirata warriors are sometimes known to leap from their vehicles via tethered lines, to remove key parts of their foes' machines or cargo and carry them back to the waiting Flyer.[1]

Overview[]

Armed with a dual machine gun turret, Pirata Flyers are notably dangerous against enemy air but can provide decent air support for ground units. They also work ideally for escorting Cargo Dirigibles and Air Destroyers on their missions.

Tactics[]

  • Pirata Flyers work wonders as raiders, heckling enemy structures and luring the enemy towards your ground forces or clearing passage for unarmed or weaker air units to get across.
  • Take heed of their armor though as enemy air to air fighters would be the least likely you want to see when your Pirata Flyers suddenly explode.

Counters[]

  • Any good air-to-air fighter is ideal in shooting down flyers, even ground units with good AA will ensure their destruction. Make sure they don't get to your vulnerable air units whom don't have much defense against them.

Upgrades[]

Pirata Flyers can be upgraded twice.
