[[File:Flakkatrukk.jpg|300px|right|thumb|BBBBRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTT!!!]] The Flakkatrakk or Flakka Trukks is an [[Ork]] mainstay anti-aircraft vehicle like the [[Imperium]]'s [[Hydra Flak Tank]]. Essentially a [[Wartrakk]] equipped with varying number of [[Flakka-Dakka_Gun|Flakka-Dakka Gunz]], the design was pioneered by the [[Mekboy]] Grimgutz, who was sick of local Ork aircraft constantly buzzing his [[Mekboy_Workshop|Workshop]]. [[Troll|He designed the weapon in the course of an afternoon to shoot down the pests much to the annoyance of the Ork pilots.]] Firing the same explosive 'glowy bullitz' used by [[Flash Gitz]], Flakkatrakk's weapons are often fired by [[Grot]] assistants and are capable of filling the skies with hundreds of rounds per <s>minute</s> second, making them a grave threat to any aircraft that ventures into its line of sight. Unfortunately, taking Ork accuracy to reality, the likelihood of a Flakkatrakk actually shooting down a enemy aircraft is quite low, sometimes [[Fail|even accidentally shooting down their own aircraft.]] <span style='color:green;font-size:100%'>What's dat git talkin' 'bout? If yah shoot at it an' miss, it'z wun of yerz. If ya hit it, it'z one of derz. Ded simple, see?</span> <span style='color:green;font-size:80%'>''I seez it Boss, very simplez Boss!''</span> The design has become popular and copied by many other Mekboyz in light of its success, and wherever the Orks are beset by enemy aircraft a Flakkatrakk is likely to appear. == Tabletop == This was the primary orkish ground based anti-aircraft unit before the arrival of Traktor Kannons and even then it is still not bad. Instead of having two twin-linked Heavy 2 guns like the Hydra, the Flakka-Dakka gun just has a single Heavy 4 weapon. It's very useful against infantry in a pinch, just like its Imperial counterpart, but its lack of twin-linked goodness causes it to suffer somewhat in accuracy (Which is not that much of a surprise given Ork marksmanship). The reason you don't just go straight to a guntrukk squad with Flakka Gunz is the special rules. Flakka-Dakka Gunz can move flat out and fire their weapons, provided their target is a Flyer. This can let you keep up with a Flyer and move across the board to hit some rear armor next turn. The front and side armor is also higher than a Trukk, and you can get a co-axial bolter to spot for you, giving you that twin-linked goodness you so desperately need (and trust us, with Orkish aiming skills, you need it.) Its big brother is the [[Battlefortress#Flakk Battlefortress|Flakk Battlefortress]] which is like a Flakkatrakk on growth pills.
