74c-2 Ronan Meteora Gunship

"The Meteora Gunship replaces the machine gun with another identical 120mm light artillery canon on the bow."

- In-game description

The Meteora is a Gunboat variant for the Warden faction.

It sacrifices it's primary close defense turret, for a second artillery gun that can't attack targets with in 50 meters. This makes the Meteora a potentially fantastic seige craft, able to lay down twice the punishment to costal structures and infantry with out risking the ship to use a 14.5mm machine gun, but is very hard to get the most out of with an untrained crew. First, it requires a coordinated crew and good spotter to walk both guns onto a far off target. Second, both guns use the same, semi-expensive ammo, where as the generic gun boat can still be effective with it's cheaper 14.5mm belts. Finally, the faster bombardment speed against single targets is cut down by the fact that many light structures and vehicles will be destroyed in 2-4 hits. However, a competent crew can spread out both guns to fire on two separate positions, or focus fire a strong structure.
