MQ-12 Falcon as UAV Recon alternative

Recommended Posts

How about the MQ-12 Falcon as a Unarmed/Very Lightly Armed Recon UAV?

Maybe only give it two DARs instead of the full complement of 24 DARs and 2 ATGMs.

 

I pitch this because while the UAV Darters are good at their jobs, they are slower and take a long time to reposition when something needs to be observed quickly. And essentially, this should be a upgrade for UAV operators because it's crazy annoying having a drone shot down and not being able to provide intel during that blackout period.

 

Pros: 

  • Fast, Manoeuvrable
  • Stable platform / Stable orbit (compared to greyhawks)
  • Defensive systems

Downsides:

  • Bigger larger target
