Right, so VTOLs in this game behave like planes, that's obvious. Great for hit-and-run attacks, particularly against buildings.
However, I would like to see this come up in the Beta - a new VTOL chassis, perhaps a development of the existing one, that acted like a helicopter (that is, hover in one place as it fired, instead of doing strafing runs). It would probably be worse for anti-base work, but better overall for anti-unit. Stick an Assault Cannon or Hyper-V on one and it can pick apart tanks! Or a machine gun to deal with Cyborgs.
Needless to say it would be slower moving than the VTOL, however since the number of things that can shoot VTOLs is relatively small compared to antiground weapons, it would have similar health.

Re: Helicopters
There is a mod that added helicopters for scavs:
* viewtopic.php?f=10&t=8134&hilit=helicopter
As for jetpack cyborgs, there is already a CyborgJump propulsion defined in the game, but it's not used or implemented yet.

Re: Helicopters
aubergine, good to know, I wanted to suggest it as possible thing for "advanced" Scavengers (as it fits more their technology).

Re: Helicopters
There's a really brilliant image somewhere showing the helicopters in warzone but I can't find it.

Really looks scavenger like.
