    @ sc.rew. Well it's not as though a hoverbike would be immune to said mines, holes, corpses, craters, etc, as it would still have to be pushing down with enough force to keep it in the air. It would still set off mines and going over any holes, corpses and craters, not to mention even just shooting or being shot at, could cause dynamic rollover, destroying it. Not to mention that it would be extremely fuel inefficient as it would have to constantly be keeping itself hovering, yet alone travelling forwards, and then there's the fact that it already needs a lot of that fuel to fire its flamer. So, That having been said I'd say it'd make more sense lore-wise to not use a hover engine.

    @ 10-Neon. The same problems would still apply for any type of hoverbike.

    I'm too lazy to read all of these five pages.

    Anyways I don't know why but Jackal sounds much more suitable than Hellion. Hellion just doesn't work for me.

    Jackal sounds more aggressive.

    Your point that vikings are stereotyped as raiders is valid. Not enough to change my mind though.

    For full functionality it should be able to attack while moving (closer range to vulture, makes proper attacking more difficult). High speed allow to chase enemy, so low/mid-ranged but more powerful attack is welcome.

    i like the hellion, a jackal sounds a little too much like a rogue unit
