>>>>>[ Someone says that I would use Hovercraft B/R, but I don't think
that's right, because a Banshee is not a hovercraft... anyone? ]<<<<<

>>>>>[The GMC Banshee LAV is a Low-Altitude Vehicle. That means VTOL
aircraft, chummers. Can you say "Harrier"? ][ knew you
could]<<<<<<
--Dreamline

>>>>>[Humph. I ain't never seen a 'Shee with wings... If I were you, I'd
get out the tech manuals and use either Hovercraft B/R or Aircraft B/R with
a +1 to target numbers. It is a GMC, after all, which means you're working
with thrid rate parts even from the OEM. Take a little extra time and try
not to repair the fuel intakes with the vehicle underway....]<<<<<

>>>>>[Lighten up, Edge. GMC parts aren't third rate. Second rate, yes,
but
usually not third. Anyway, the damn things may as well be hovercraft, since
they don't have enough thrust to get them more that 10 feet off the ground,
I can't see where they are in the same class as the Harrier III. The vectors
on the thrust nozzles only serve to turn and propel the craft. Generally,
it behaves like a car.]<<<<<
