Those Lammergeirs that have reached the front have been very effective, ripping ground craft and infantry to shreds. The Lammergeirs rely on modernized scramjets to provide atmospheric motive power, and their distinctive wailing howl can be heard as soon as they engage those engines. The Lammergeir's swept wing formation gives it superior handling when it has an atmosphere to bank against. That formation also allows the Lammergeir to make truly spectacular maneuvers, including a hammerhead dive at near full velocity that is quite effective, when the air pressure doesn't rip the wings off. Wrathtech Technology is reportedly very interested in acquiring the blueprints of the Lammergeir, in order to improve their new Falchion fighter, though they are not interested enough in the designs to jeopardize their budding relationship with the Yaeger Yards. Note: The cost listed is in a theoretical situation, where the Yaeger ships are available without restriction. In most scenarios, they should not be available at all, or at incredibly inflated prices.
