Support Vehicles and Aircraft

Understanding Vehicles
''Note: This is about the Vehicles and Aircraft themselves and their respective stats. Since they use different movement and controls, they are a different beast from just playing Mercenary. Read this if you are here to learn how to drive them quickly and efficiently.''

Vehicles are costly pieces of equipment for heavy support. They are tough and have enough firepower to shred though people and alien alike with ease. Do not in any way shape or form underestimate Vehicles. Do not also charge off with them into the abyss and die alone, Vehicles function best when they are supported together by other Mercs. Mechanics are the only Mercenary class who get vehicles.

If you wish to keep your vehicle alive when it takes damage, you need to bring either repair tape, or a welder. If you have one of those, simply have it in your hand and click on the vehicle while outside. After a few seconds, you will repair some damage to the vehicle.

Keep in mind however, that getting a vehicle seriously damaged constantly and repairing it is a heavy toll. Your Max Health will reduce further and further, and this debuff can't be removed, so try and make sure it never takes too much damage at any point. You can see how much your health was reduced by examining the vehicle and seeing its Health and Integrity. Integrity determines how much accumulated damage it has taken and reduces the max HP.

Understanding Aircraft

Aircraft are somewhat similar to Vehicles but specialize differently and have a different control scheme. They are also in their own special "Sky" level, where only things that can target said "Sky" level or fly up there can attack the Aircraft. There may also be a planned mode for them to be able to hover at "Roof" level but this is unconfirmed and not in game. Its unknown if all Aircraft will be able to land on "Ground" as all of them currently do.
