Vectored thrust vehicles of CP2020 - Page 2

Hi All,

Vectored thrust vehicles in Cyberpunk 2020, have long been a staple of CP2020. My question is simple enough:

Would it be accurate to say that AV-4 vehicles are like flying turtles? In other words, its thrust vector will always be from its bottom, with vectored thrust ducts able to redirect some of the thrust fighting Earth’s gravity being used to propel it forward. Problem is, if for any reason, the AV-4 is turned on its side, the AV-4, has no means to right itself to where its vectored thrust ducts can push against the gravity of earth. The only way to counter going “turtle” while in mid-air, is if it has vectored thrust ducts on all four of its sides.

Does this make sense?
