The iconic Orca has been upgraded to a even heavier version, armed with rocket pods containing 6 rockets that are very effective against ground targets. It can also launch a scanning pulse, detecting cloaked units nearby, and when upgraded, launch Sensor Pods. It can also utilise Hardpoints upgrade to carry more ammunition. Advantages: Strong against ground targets, fast, scan ability. Disadvantages: Weak against infantry, can fire rockets too fast and thus wastes ammunition, no anti-air. |
Firehawk
 |
The Firehawk is the GDI bomber plane. It's rather fast, has decent armour, and can be equipped with anti-structure bombs or anti-air missiles. With the Stratofighter upgrade it can appear anywhere on the map in a matter of seconds. It can also utilise Hardpoints upgrade to carry more ammunition. Advantages: Good against structures, fast, can appear anywhere with Stratoboosters upgrade, can switch between ground bombs or anti-air missiles. Disadvantages: Not very effective against vehicles. |
