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 Ironclad's tractor beam support.<ref name="IAssaultFlyable"/> | ||

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.

The Drake Ironclad Assault is a versatile combined-arms platform which excels in transporting heavy vehicles and infantry squads, complemented by formidable auxiliary turrets for direct combat support. Furthermore, equipped with a comprehensive garage facility capable of refueling, rearming, and manufacturing new components for ground vehicles, this self-sustaining behemoth is well-equipped to overcome any obstacles or adversaries encountered on the battlefield.<ref name="IAssaultStore">Template:Cite RSI</ref><ref name="IAssaultFlyable">Template:Cite RSI</ref>

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".
