Additionally, it boasts two remote dorsal twin Size 3 turrets that can be operated remotely from the Operations Bridge. Finally, two dorsal five-cell vertical launch systems allow for the carriage and launch of ten size 5 [[StarCitizen:torpedo]]es even when landed.<ref name="IAssaultStore"/>

|The cargo bay of the normal [[StarCitizen:Ironclad]] is repurposed explicitly for the carriage of vehicles in the [[StarCitizen:Ironclad Assault]], supporting up to four [[StarCitizen:Tumbril]] [[StarCitizen:Nova]]s or their equivalent and presenting a forward ramp to allow vehicles to embark or disembark from the ship under their own power. The bay is also useful for the carriage of a large flight of snub fighters or their equivalent due to the retained retracting roof, allowing for vertical access. Despite this repurposing, the bay is still useful for heavy freight when the ship is not being used for its primary task, though lacking the [[StarCitizen:Ironclad]]'s tractor beam support.

|Infantry support
|The [[StarCitizen:Ironclad Assault]] is equipped with an armory for the storage of personal arms and equipment and 18 jump-seats for the transport of infantry under maneuvers.<ref name="ICQA" />
|The Ironclad Assault is constructed with an armory bridging over the forward ramp for the storage of personal arms and equipment, as well as eighteen jump-seats within and beside the armory. Six additional jump seats are divided between the port and starboard personnel airlocks, with additional weapon racks supporting these airlocks. The personnel airlocks lead to small platforms from which infantry can begin engaging enemies before completely departing the ship and from which infantry can re-enter the ship. A dedicated roof-top access ladder allows infantry to take an elevated position with ease, and the main airlock and docking collar on the starboard side of the ship stores further weapon racks and suit lockers separately from the main armory, allowing rapid readiness for [[StarCitizen:EVA]] operations.<ref name="IAssaultFlyable"/><ref name="IgIc">{{Cite game|build=[[StarCitizen:Update:Star Citizen Alpha 4.8.0|Alpha 4.8.0]]|text=In-game survey|accessdate=2026-05-15|game=Star Citizen}}</ref>

|Capable of scouting in advance, providing aerial protection during cargo loading, or assisting in cargo management with the mounted tractor beam, the detachable command module can function autonomously, features quantum capabilities, and is armed and ready for combat with an attached remote turret. It additionally acts as an impromptu dropship for landings in constrained spaces or as an escape pod for the entire rated crew of the Ironclad Assault with the use of ten jump seats.<ref name="IAssaultFlyable"/><ref name="IgIc"/>

Trivia

  • An ironclad was a steam-propelled warship protected by steel or iron armor constructed from 1859 to the early 1890s. The ironclad was developed as a result of the vulnerability of wooden warships to explosive and incendiary shells.<ref>Wikipedia: Ironclad Warship</ref>
  • The community has affectionately dubbed the Ironclad with playful nicknames like "Fatterpillar" and "Ironchad".
