The Brawler is a level 2 gunship aircraft; it has a unique way of engaging targets: swinging around them within a fixed distance like a pendulum while pelting them with EMG bullets. It is effective against surface units that are not anti-air, and in high numbers can also destroy light anti-air defences such as missile towers; however due to its way of attack it is very prone to getting hit even by non-antiair weaponry, and is useless against other aircraft. Its CORE counterpart is the Rapier.
Commander's Handbook[]
| Gunship “BRAWLER” This is a VToL gunship that can hover over the battlefield, firing dual EMGs at ground units or surface ships. |
Factional differences[]
The Brawler differs slightly in statistics compared to the CORE Rapier. The Brawler has a noticeably faster turn rate and acceleration, allowing it to execute faster pendulum motion when attacking. This gives it a slight advantage over the Rapier in dodging stray rounds from non-Anti-Air units, such as tanks and mobile artillery - a problem both gunships face when attacking these units. Despite having fast rate of fire and projectile velocity, the Brawler's EMG cannons deal much less damage than the Rapier's rockets, which makes the Brawler very useful against faster, more lightly armoured units, and limits their purpose to hit-and-run attacks against virtually everything else.
