The Cobra MAMBA is a vehicle that I traded away back around 2000. This was a used MAMBA, which was complete, but had a crack on a wing between the two tails. I only had it a couple years, but I'm not sure what else I didn't like about it that I traded it in so soon. Perhaps the size of the thing? Not sure, but I've been thinking about older stuff, and the MAMBA does come to my mind sometimes.
I like the FANG II the most, it's a fairly imaginatively advanced aircraft with loads of bombs, and the Gyro-Vipers look good in it to me. And it's small size makes Cobra that "sneak spelled sideways."
However, the MAMBA would look good next to the FANG II's as I think about it now. The Inter-meshing rotors are fairly advanced, and two armed rocket pods up the ante on the assault side. A shade of purple-blue and black with red missiles.
Perhaps this is a vehicle that could have used a handle, not unlike the NAC. And the apparent lack of landing gear may have bugged me a bit, too.
Anybody have the MAMBA out there that totally digs or dislikes it?
