Earth defense force gunship8/28/2023 Whale's gunfire comes down at a steep diagonal angle seemingly chosen at random the angle remains the same throughout the strike if it fires more than one shot. It is almost destroyed by Dragons during City of Horror, but manages to retreat to operate from the Fortress Aircraft Carrier Despina.Ĭalls for Support Gunfire Strikes While Whale is a flying fortress, it is not able to take on other aircraft and is sometimes forced to withdraw from combat, such as when a huge force of Drones is deployed during Brute Force. It also attacks a group of Deroys with its 120mm cannon at the end of Mountains Ablaze. In 2025 it fires multiple 150mm Cannon shots at the beginning of Brute Force, though these strikes are removed in 4.1, presumably because the mission's added NPC E551 Gigantus and E651 Titan tanks provide enough supporting fire already. Whale is rarely seen firing in scripted events, since the EDF tends to prefer to use Charon for such things. Whale's pilot introduces himself in the next mission, Eruption. HQ orders it to be sent in following the abandonment of the assault on the underground insect nest, to deal with Spiders coming to the surface. While strikes from Whale are available as soon as an Air Raider unlocks a strike that uses it, the aircraft is first mentioned in mission 6: Underground Cave. Seemingly an AC-130-like gunship aircraft, Whale is said to "always be circling the skies" over areas where Storm Team is engaged in combat, and is repeatedly said to be armed with rockets, Vulcan cannons and a 120mm cannon, though according to the Air Raider's unlocks it also has an extremely anaemic 105mm cannon and a more powerful 150mm cannon that the pilot doesn't like to talk about as much.
