Notes: We've seen the UNSC pilots put these things through their paces. Now it's our turn! Or it would be if anyone knew how to fly the thing. Look at that delicious statline.

It's got a higher mobility and movement stat compared to the Lechiffon in it's fighter mode though it's medium size will probably bring just a little lower in evasive capabilities in exchange for a much more rugged unit capable of taking an extra hit or two and pushing out a slight more damage.

The Longsword's Rotary Cannons are a post movement range 1-4 shooting attack. It has a +25 bonus to accuracy with a good solid critical hit chance. It has a good ammunition reserve with 12 rounds and is the Longsword's most suitable weapon for engaging ground based targets and to a lesser effect those underwater.

The Ventral guns are pretty much exactly the same as the Rotary cannons with a near identical statline baring an upgrade to damage and different terrain modifiers. The Ventrals are the Longsword's weapon of choice when it comes to shooting down other aibourne and spacebourne targets.

The ASGM-10 Missiles are limited in ammunition with only 4 rounds but they have an extended range of 2-6. They're not as accurate or have as high a critical chance as the guns but they push out alot more damage. You'll probably have seen the Longswords swatting down covenant forces pretty well in the last two chapters with these things.

Just a real shame none of the students have an idea on how to fly this thing otherwise it'd be a really awesome replacement for the Verein on gravity levels for anyone with horrible ground terrain abilities.
