Adapted from a light skiff commonly employed by forces of the South American Allied nations' Coast Guard, the Allies' hydrofoil is a fast-moving vessel designed for surveillance and defensive operations. It features a fast-firing 20 mm close-in weapons system well-suited for engaging low-flying enemy aircraft, although its facing limits the weapon to a pure anti-air role. However, the hydrofoil gains versatility thanks to its Scramblegun weapon jammer, an electromagnetic beam that draws upon the hydrofoil's advanced computers and fuel reserves to temporarily disable most known weapons systems on an individual, nearby target. Thus, while the hydrofoil is not equipped to fend off a full-scale naval invasion, it can adequately fend for itself and provides invaluable support as part of a naval strike group.

盟军的水翼船是基于南美洲盟国海岸警卫队常用的轻型小艇改进而来的，这是一种行动迅捷的船只，专为监视和海防而设计。它装备了能够高速射击的20mm近防武器系统，非常适合对付低空飞行的敌机。尽管受限于转角使其只能用于防空，但好在水翼船还搭载了扰频式武器干扰装置，令到能够发挥更多功能。它能够发射一种电磁波束，从而让水翼船调用自身的先进电脑系统与能源储备来暂时瘫痪住附近单个目标的几乎任何武器。因此，水翼船虽然没有能力抵御全面的海上攻势，但它也可以在充分自保之余，作为海军打击群的一份子提供宝贵的支援。

Today's hydrofoil was made famous in the Battle of Port-Au-Prince, in which a small fleet of them were able to shoot down an entire squadron of MiG Fighters before the MiGs could eliminate a wing of Century Bombers carrying reinforcements to the city. Meanwhile, several of the hydrofoils broke off to thwart an offshore dreadnought bombardment. This was the first time a naval commander employed one group of hydrofoils dedicated exclusively to jamming enemy ship capabilities and another to shred an airforce. After the MiGs were destroyed, the hydrofoils executed a high-speed tactical retreat. The only naval casualties that day were hydrofoil detachments that were unlucky enough to be sucked from out of the water by the Soviets' hated magnetic satellite. It has been rumored that the performance of the hydrofoil that day was largely responsible for increased numbers of Soviet Akula-class Submarine in Soviet operations around the Gulf of Mexico.

水翼船是在太子港战役中一战成名的。当时有一小队的水翼船为了掩护进城运送援军的世纪轰炸机，击落了一整支米格战斗机中队。与此同时，还有几艘水翼船转头阻止了无畏舰的近岸轰炸。这是第一次有海军指挥官同时运用了水翼船防空和干扰敌人武器的能力。在米格战机被击落之后，水翼船迅速离场，那天海军仅有的损失是苏联那该死的磁力卫星搞的鬼，它把几艘倒霉的水翼船吸上了天。有传言说，鉴于水翼船在本次战役中的表现，苏联在墨西哥湾附近加大了阿库拉级潜艇的部署力度以应对。

Though the hydrofoil is usually one of the first naval units fielded by many naval commanders, it features one of the most advanced pieces of technology ever produced by the Allied nations in the Scramblegun weapon jammer. The Scramblegun's electromagnetic force is demanding on all onboard weapon systems and thus is mutually exclusive with the 20mm gun. The jammer's capability is focused enough to block weapon systems of vehicles as small as the Sickle or ships as large as a Dreadnought. This allows the hydrofoil to at least stalemate a conflict with most other naval craft or enemy armor at the shoreline, leading a group of Guardian Tank and Apollo Fighter pilots to publicly question why the jamming technology has not been applied to ground and aerial attack craft. It appears that until Allied military scientists work out a way to add more than a single special weapons hardpoint to any design, they will have to make due as-is.

水翼船不仅是许多海军指挥官出战的首选之一，它也搭载了同盟国内最顶尖的技术——扰频式武器干扰装置。由于该干扰装置会调用船上的所有武器系统的能量，因此它与20mm炮无法同时工作。干扰装置能够封锁从小到镰刀机甲，大如无畏战舰的武器系统。这让水翼船在沿岸足以平息与大多数海军舰船和敌军装甲部队的冲突。但这也导致一些守护者坦克与阿波罗战斗机的驾驶员公开质疑为何干扰技术没有用于地面和空中的作战单位。在盟军的军事科学家研究出如何增加更多的特殊武器挂载点之前，他们只能忍一忍了。

Hydrofoil captains are more often than not former Coast Guard defenders looking to do the Allied nations proud, and they tend to be regarded for their poise in the face of formidable enemy fleets. While it must be daunting to hit the seas equipped with nothing that can directly attack other naval forces, most hydrofoil captains seem to relish the opportunity to go head-to-head with more imposing ships--and effectively shut them down.

水翼船的船长们大多是出身于海岸警卫队的战士，他们渴望为盟军建功立业。在强大的敌人舰队面前，他们总能镇静自若。虽然他们在没有直接攻击敌人船只的能力下直接出海看起来是件挺危险的事情，但许多水翼船的船长们似乎很享受与强大的敌舰正面交锋——然后阻止它们。

Battlefield reconnaissance has revealed at least these facts about the Hydrofoil:

战场侦察已经揭示了水翼船的以下情报：

No fly zone -- The hydrofoil packs one heavy-duty anti-air cannon in the Icarus 20 mm close-in weapons system. Any enemy aircraft entering into the AA gun's significant range quickly receive a withering hail of highly-accurate fire. Between the AA gun's swivel mount and the hydrofoil's top speed, escaping inland tends to be one of the few viable options when faced with this weapon.

此处禁飞——水翼船搭载了「伊卡鲁斯」20mm近距离防空系统，这是一种重型防空炮。任何敌军飞行器一旦进入该炮的有效射程，就会遭遇迅猛精准的火力打击。在防空炮的旋转炮台和水翼船的高速性能面前，飞往内陆是为数不多的保命方法之一。

The Scramblegun -- Each hydrofoil now comes standard with the Scramblegun weapon jammer, which fits interchangeably into the same hardpoint as the AA gun. As the name suggests, this device disrupts the weapons systems of a target vehicle, Allied preventing it from attacking. Among other benefits, the scramblegun means hydrofoils have a limited ability to defend themselves against surface targets.

干扰装置——如今，扰频式干扰装置已经成为了每艘水翼船的标准配置，它可以与防空炮在同一炮位上进行互换。顾名思义，这种装置会破坏目标载具的武器系统，从而让友军免于受其火力打击。而且，干扰装置也让水翼船在面对海陆目标时拥有了一定的自卫能力。

Subs on sonar -- Hydrofoil captains spend much of their time watching the skies, which, unfortunately for them, means submarines such as the Soviet Akula-class can sometimes close in for the kill without being noticed. Because hydrofoils are extremely vulnerable to direct attack, they sometimes travel within the safety of an Allied assault destroyer's Black Hole Armor field.

留心声呐——水翼船的船长们大部分时间都在观察天空，但不幸的是，这也意味着像阿库拉级之类的潜艇有时候会在毫无察觉的情况下打个措手不及。由于水翼船在直接攻击下是非常脆弱的，所以它们有时也会选择在突袭驱逐舰的黑洞装甲力场庇护下行动。

Coastal support -- Even though hydrofoils are unable to move inland (in spite of a number of failed attempts to create amphibious models), they have still proven to be very useful as off-shore support for ground operations. Their anti-air weapons are among the best in the Allies' entire arsenal, and their Scrambleguns have enough range to affect inland targets.

近岸支援——虽然水翼船无法深入内陆（有几次两栖化的尝试，但都失败了），但事实证明它们在对陆支援的行动中还是很有用的。它们的防空武器性能在盟军的装备中名列前茅，而它的干扰装置也足以打击内陆目标。
