Just in time to make up for the cancellation of the SuperZeppelins, it's Raysia's second NVTOL! However, this one is MUCH larger, able to carry up to 400 tons! Whether you're hauling tanks into action, or just giving your troops a lift from one battlefront to the other, the RT-2207 SuperChariot NVTOL is your ultimate military transport! As you may know, NVTOL stands for "Nearly Vertical Take-Off and Landing, which means that the plane can land at an angle and stop on a dime. However, this thing is just unstable enough to not be able to take-off straight up vertically.
