VTOL Warship

"Be the gunner of a powerful VTOL Warship."

- Scorestreak description

The VTOL Warship is a Scorestreak featured in Call of Duty: Black Ops II. The scorestreak allows the player to take control of a VTOL Warship. It has similar appearance and usage as the Osprey Gunner from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Unlike Modern Warfare 3, the player can tell the pilot of the warship to maneuver around the map to attempt to get a better shot at enemy players, instead of just hovering over one single spot. Dual miniguns and rocket pods are available armaments. The Scorestreak reward is only available for a maximum of up to 55 seconds.

Unlike the VTOLs´ from the campaign, it has only two engines instead of three.

Trivia

 * Along with the A.G.R. and Dragonfire, the VTOL Warship will have its timer continue when paused on Theater Mode.
 * As with all time-limited manned Scorestreaks in Black Ops II, the VTOL Warship leaves due to "bingo fuel".
 * Getting a kill with the VTOL Warship gets the medal "Death From Above" while destroying one gets "Big Game Hunter".
 * A VTOL Warship's switching position mode can allow it to evade missile lock-ons easily.
 * Because of its size the VTOL Warship is the most vulnerable aircraft in the game to rockets fired without a lock. It can be very frustrating to have the Warship's countermeasures bypassed in this way by a single rocket.
 * When successfully destroying the VTOL Warship, players have to take note that the user controlling the VTOL warship have a so called final stand ability for a few seconds, which allow the user who is controlling the warship to blind fire (as his screen is blurring) even though the VTOL is nearing its doom. Therefore players who took down the VTOL warship and his fellow comrades have to be wary of this blind firing and have to exercise precaution when they are in the open right after the VTOL is destroyed.
