Notes:

The Armadillo is the training VTV for Red Planet. This VTV is quite different from all of the others, and was designed especially to make learning Red Planet easier for beginners. As such, it has different flight and handling characteristics that need to be discussed separately from the other VTVs and flight modes.

The primary difference between the Armadillo and all other VTVs is this: an Armadillo does not have any vertical lift capacity - its power plant provides only enough lift to keep it off of the ground. Additionally, it is more responsive to joystick commands than most of the other VTVs and because of this, can turn more tightly and quickly. The Armadillo is extremely tough and has the collision durability equal to that of most Bull Class VTVs. However, it is not well protected from weapons fire, and in this regard is about the same as the lightest Bug Class VTVs. These characteristics were given to the Armadillo to make learning the ins and outs of Red Planet that much easier.
