This one makes use of the pontoons I proposed.

The Mudskipper is intended for use as a "commando" helicopter. Its ability to land on water and its fusion engine means that it's not tied to a single region or base; as long as it has a clear hex to land in, it's good. A pilot can literally land his helicopter on a river and allow the river's current to carry the unit along, thus keeping it undetected and allowing the pilot to move about with ease.

As its one weapon is energy-based, ammunition is not an issue.
