Trivia

• Hovercrafts are usually added as level props in several maps for decoration purposes. Some of them might be accessible, while other might have their ramp closed. Since they are part of the map, they cannot be driven or destroyed.
• On the front side of the Hovercraft's "exhaustion tubes", the statement "Damn keep clear can't read this" can be read.
• The drivable Hovercraft does exist on one map in Renegade X, Coastal Small.
• You need to be inside a vehicle when being transported aboard the Hovercraft, if you are an infantry unit, you will take a lot of damage.
