| “ | Send another wave! - Aircraft Carrier Launching a Sky Knight Wave | ” |
The Sky Knight is an Unmannned Combat Air Vehicle (UCAV), designed to operate from modern Aircraft Carriers. Their unmanned design, coupled with the automated production facilities aboard the Carrier, lowers the amount of crew needed to operate the ship, as well as the overall size of it, to feasible limits.
When not in use, the Sky Knights are constantly monitored below deck. The Sky Knights are launched in squadrons of five, and release a single 500lb bomb upon reaching a target. The drones are quick and easy to replace if destroyed; and Captains can use their expendable nature to draw AA fire away from more expensive manned aircraft flying in the same airspace.
To counter these planes one must have their Bullfrogs, MiGs or Jet tengus in large numbers and surround the carrier so when those jets try to take off they get shot down if they try to leave the carrier. Also rumors had that per every time a Sky Knight is destroyed the Anti Aircraft unit gains promotion very quickly.
The Carrier also carries Blackout Missiles in case of heavy base defenses.
