Crusher-class Fighter-Bomber

The Crusher-class Fighter-Bomber is a Covenant Loyalist aircraft that saw usage by Covenant forces in late 2552, after the Great Schism. It was designed to complement the Banshee in atmospheric combat and ground attack roles. The Crusher is armed with two 35mm autocannons, good for engaging enemy aircraft and infantry, and four weapon bays holding a variety of missiles and bombs. = Bomb and Missiles = The Crusher is designed to deliever specialty ordinance into battle. These can range from Pounder missiles, to the Slasher, Torcher and Crusher bombs.

The Slasher bomb is a specialty bomb made by the Brutes. It is designed to unfurl at low altitude and deploy thousands of superheated tungsten spikes, similar to those used by the Brute Spiker, the result is a shower of red hot spikes raining down on UNSC infantry forces, their armor not capable of standing up to the force the spikes arrive.

The Torcher bomb is another Brute bomb, and works similar to Incendiary Grenades. Prior to impact with the ground, the bomb disintegrates and fire pours on the target area. The Torcher bomb has been used in clearing out landing zones, burning infantry and light vehicles, and setting enemy buildings alight.

The Crusher bomb is a Brute Anti-Tank weapon, and is by far their most curious. The bomb falls to the ground via gravity, and pierces armor plating, pinning the vehicle and making it unable to move. Seconds after impact, the bomb detonates, but is concentrated into the center of the bomb, effectively destroying the vehicle.
