Just by the way, something's been nagging me for a while: It just me or are the wings really spindly?
I keep feeling like a proper sneeze in their general direction would rip them off.
Now I got that off my mind:

If you let the troops climb on top of the thing, the folding wings could also be used as impromptu cover during hot landings.
It's something that occurred to me while my troops were getting incinerated all around their dropship by a few well spawned Tamans(Most of them, anyway) a level above.

compared to the Firebird the wings on this are similar thickness in relation to overall height.

One of the things H-Hour commented about was that with the wings like they are disembarking troops could use them for cover from elevated fire.
The folding wings concept was an idea to take into account that it might not fit inside a large hanger for base missions, I might still do a folded version as a stopgap until the base code can be altered.

The dropships and interceptors lift off when a base is attacked, they are not shown in the mission. Not sure if it is intented to change this.

Dropships and Interceptors could be lift off if it was implemented and selected by the player - which is not the case.
