* CriticalExistenceFailure: Averted: As ships take hull damage, their model becomes progressively torn and mangled before exploding.

** The Dragon Tongue Light Flamethrower lights any components within reach on fire, causing them to take stackable damage over time and causing any affected weapons to overheat and stop functioning.

* SimpleYetAwesome: The Whirlwind Light Gatling Gun. A very healthy 80+ round Magazine, Decent range for a "short" range weapon, and has virtually zero drawbacks aside from a slightly low range. Combine it with Incendiary rounds, and you've got a long range flamethrower. Give it Charged Rounds, and you've got simple, but effective increased damage rounds. Give it Lesmok Rounds, and the range becomes very respectable. Give it Greased rounds, and you get [[MoreDakka MORE DAKKA!]]. And unlike other armor and gun busting weapons, it has no minimum arming range, no incredibly long reload, is very accurate, and can chew up an enemy's hull after the Hull Armor does fail.

* AwesomeButImpractical: Lochnagar Ammo. A massive damage boost round, that has no recoil when fired, and for weapons with arming time, drastically cuts it down. The catch? You get one shot, and upon firing it, your gun will break, and reduces the AoE for weapons with them. This limits it's use to a select few, low magazine capacity guns, and even then it's questionable on their use when you could always take Charged Shots, which while only giving a +30% damage buff, doesn't require a repair everytime you shoot the gun.

Players have access to 3 classes: The Pilot, The Engineer, and The Gunner. The Pilot is in charge of flying the ship, the Engineer is in charge of keeping it in good repair, and the Gunner is in charge of, well, [[CaptainObvious Gunning.]]

%% A Glass Cannon is defined as 1.) powerful offensively (hence "cannon") and 2.) weak defensively (hence "glass"). The following example establishes the former ("massive firepower") but not the latter, and so it is a Zero Context Example. Do not uncomment without adding context that establishes it as defensively fragile. If it is not defensively fragile, then it is not a Glass Cannon and both the example and this note should be deleted. Thank you.

'''Guns of Icarus Online''' is the MMO sequel to VideoGame/GunsOfIcarus, developed by Muse games. It is a [[CooperativeMultiplayer co-op]] [[ShootEmUp shooter]] game where teams of airships, each manned by 4 people, attempt to sink the other teams' airships.

* DifficultButAwesome: Anything with a heavy shot arc tends to be ignored due to how cumbersome they are to aim, but when they hit, they will do their job.

* MightyGlacier: The Galleon is the largest, most heavily armed and armored ship, but most other ships fly circles around it.

A kickstarter has been funded for an adventure mode, but it has not been released yet.

** SniperDuel: What happens when two rivalling ships both have the aforementioned gun, though it's more of a ScopeSnipe since you can only destroy the gun instead of the person using it.

** The Mobula has poor speed and steering, but massive firepower; it is probably best deployed in support positions, where it can provide massive covering fire from a distance.

** The Spire airship has its weapon mounts arranged in such a way that it can bring heavy firepower to bear on any ship it sets its sights on, but has the flimsiest armor and hull strength out of all the ships and little to no speed.

* CoolAirship: Six of them, in fact.

* StylishProtectiveGear: Favors this over [[{{Stripperiffic}} the usual standard]] for female costume design as well as male, with an array of fun costume choices that look awesome ''and'' could actually keep an airwoman from freezing up in the clouds.

* AwesomeYetPractical: The light gatling and the heavy H'wacha are noob favorites. They also stick around in pro matches due to their usefulness.

* DifficultButAwesome: Several guns: The Scylla Double Barreled Mortar, which is a rapid firing light grenade launcher that is utterly amazing against other ships when their hull armor is down, but is ignored mostly because it is hard to aim with due to bullet arc. Also, the Lumberjack Heavy Mortar, which is a ranged, ship-destroying machine that is hard to master.
