It utilizes anti-gravity systems and propulsighoston jets to move. Brute Variant The Brute variant is purple. While it is essentially the same in many respects to the Elite variant, the Brute variant tends to natuarlly move slower, as it is composed of a much heavier armor to provide the crew better protection. The slower speed is easily made up for by well timed boosts from the engines The Brute variants ustilize a red plasma system for the turrets. The Brute variants are capable of a much faster rate of fire, at the expense of the cooldown of the boost system. The boost system on the Brute variant cannot sustain a constant boost. It should be noted, that the Brute variant is also equipped with two additional small plasma turrets at the undersides of the vehicle which can be controlled by two additional gunners in the cockpit of the vehicle. In contrast to the Elite variant, the Brute variant is capable of much greater anti-infantery syupport. Elite Variant The Elite variant is green. While it is essentially the same in many respects to the Brute variant, the Elite variant tends tends to natuarlly move quicker, as it is composed of a much lighter armor to provide the pilot better manuverability. The quicker speeds allow for a more rapid insertion into a hot combat zone. The Elite variants are more balanced. Elite Phantoms utilize a blue plasma system for the anti-infantry turrets with equal distribution of power among the systems, which in turn causes a much slower rate of fire. The boost system on the Elite variant can sustain a constant boost. The Elite variant is not equipped with the 2 additional plasma turrets on the undersides end of the vehicle. This can lead to a massive disadvantage in combat.
