Sky Warriors: The V-22 Osprey

From what I've heard from marines, I know that the V-22 is a piece of crap. However it has an innovative design.

It can sling a Humvee externally, just like every other helo in the inventory, its only med lift so thats still very impressive. Pressurization adds weight, fighter aircraft are not pressurized, just oxygen for the crew which is what this has. It can still fly to 26000 ft which is higher than any helo by a huge margin. Jet engines would be very hazardous to troops and ground personnel moving around it or running off the back. It was not meant to be the best helo or plane, just the best hybrid.

I wish that the V-22 was at least big enough to put a humvee inside, would make it more useful, and the cabin probably should have been made pressurized for high flight. one of it's biggest flaws is the rotor design, it's a hybrid helicopter rotor and airplane prop, kind of limits its performance in either mode. why not something life the harrier lifts, jets with the ability to divert thrust down, also removes the need for tilting assemblies.

@slanderoushalo not to mention that they stall when they VTOL.

I really hate this aircraft cant understand why...I know its very useful but it kinda looks weird

@wraithman07 Harriers are extremely loud and they actually don't do VTO very often as it wastes a ton of fuel.
