I suggest a raptor armed with a fan just like the fan truck



This idea may be

I think I'd be both pissed off and amused if a Raptor squadron swooped in and blew away my entire tank armada.

Ok, did a test run of a Raptor Fan Truck weapon. The result?

First up, attacking a Hornet Tank. It died painfully:



Then I attacked a Tomahawk Catapult, and then this weird thing happened:



It started off like normal, but then it started turboboosting like a rocket right over my Airfield, trailing several cookie twist railgun shells behind it:



It flew through my Black Markets, then clear off the map to its eventual demise. The Raptor couldn't even keep up with it. It even outran a couple of those Stinger Missiles:



I'm a little unsure about this one. If it goes in, I'm making it a VTOL, built from the Helipad of the airfield. It acts a bit too weird otherwise, like it will fly around in circles trying to shoot a target directly beneath itself.

BTW...is that your test map?

Umm the circling around trying to shoot the target part, it's easily fixable by putting a minimum range.

VTOL almost makes more sense though, because even though the fan is the weapon, if some of the fan's downward thrust was used as propulsion, you could give new meaning to the term "down draft". It essentially makes the entire plane a weapon.

give it a leaf blower instead, and call it an " AIR PLANE"

ba-dum-dish

What if, instead of the fan, the Raptor could fire leaf blowers or fans as projectiles/missiles? The sound that the missile would normally launch could be replaced by the sound of a leaf blower (if it was chosen for an ordinance).

Make it drop packs of raptors by parachute, if you can find models/animations for those.
