===== Falcon Gunship, Type-B =====

{{ :dzc:ucm:falcon_b.jpg?direct&400|}}

=== Introduced in Reconquest: Phase 2 ===

The Falcon B is a new light gunship variant that builds on the stalwart [[dzc:ucm:falcon-a|Falcon]] chassis. UCM commanders in field – especially those operating in beachhead/first wave situations – have requested more air-to-air cover to support [[dzc:ucm:phoenix|Phoenix]] command gunships and infantry drop operations. While the [[dzc:ucm:rapier|Rapier]] is still the first port of call for all medium and long term engagements, the AA tanks still have to be deployed in relative safety to create an anti-aircraft threat.

This new Falcon variant utilises a multi-missile system with selectable armour piercing airground warheads or air-air fragmentation warheads. Although relatively short ranged, the gyro-stabilisation of the gunship allows for accurate targeting even at high speeds, granting the Falcon B rapid ambush capability, as well as helping to neutralise incoming aerial hazards before they can damage the main UCM force.
