==Overview:==
The Gazelle was intended for one purpose and one purpose only: aerial fire
support. 
The twin LRM 5 launchers enable the Gazelle to pepper targets from range,
while the twin RL 10s give it a fall-back in case something is capable of
getting in close; however, given the Gazelle's speed and the range of its main
weapons, this is considered unlikely.

 ==Overview:==
 With invention of the Rocket Launchers and the need to quickly, yet cheaply
 out fit his military, Ceasar order the building of a VTOL Gunship that could
 support his armies and provide overwhelming firepower for next to nothing in
 cost.
 
 The Alphard TC, did not have far to look, all it to was a scanning of old
 Terra files on the mid to late 20th Century and they found what they needed.
 Thus the Gazelle was reborn.

								Not as cheap as I like to see VTOLs for this function. But the RLs are a great touch. It can stay at range easily yet close in if it has too. Nothing goes this fast with Tech 1 that I know. If you drop it to lets say 10/15 or 9/14 can you drop it by 5 tons?  Maybe drop 2 RL 10s to 1? Yes it hurts but may make it work.
 
 AWAD- RLs are a perfect VTOL weapon
