Most unfair unit. Options

[Aro]

Nods Viper.

I just kept thinking is there any nod airborne unit stronger,
Strong as, or that can even hold a candle to the Orca Bomber?

No Of course not,
Because this unit is terribly unbalanced '''IMO'''
(Please notice the way i say IMO)

Heres why i think this::

1) Its actualy quite fast for a heavy bomber,
2) Its weapon is deadly to infantry, Vehicles and buildings,
Where as the banshee is only good against vehicles and Buildings.
3) Its Too cheap for what it actualy is.
4) It can do a large scale of damage with one Swoop
Where as the banshee needs all 3 swoops to do anything remotly decent.
5) In Groups theyre practicaly unstoppable.

I just wanted to say that...

Banshees are actually more useful for taking out some strong structures (like the Construction Yard, War Factory, or Tiberium Refinery), because it needs just as much runs (and the same number of Banshees as you would when using Orca Bombers) to take them out. This means the Banshees actually would have 1 run left, which indeed usually isn't enough to take anything out, but this does mean you could take a strong building out needing less Banshees (though using more runs) than you would need if you were using Orca Bombers.

Aro:: Yes, i agree with this, that was posted above... However, the reason i posted this topic in the first place was because, that the Orca Bomber CAN simply win you the game...

A bunch of Orca Bombers can win you the game; you just hold out long enough to make two squads of five and send one to destroy the enemy War Factory and the other to destroy their Construction Yard and they're totally crippled.

Now the orca bomber has two rounds... Correct? So, it flys into a base dropping 5 bombs with each round, each one doing quite a large ammount of damage. Target one, Construction yard, gone, Target two, War factory gone... now with a bit of luck, the player can still win with infantry... But the orca bombers re-load, and simply destroy huge crouds of infantry with one round... It's rediculous... While banshee's do not have this ability... Alough, Banshee's have 3 rounds... Target 1, Construction yard, gone, Target 2, War factory, gone and finaly, Target 3, Barracks, gone... So i guess this balances it out a little bit... However, i'm still not a huge fan of the fact that orcas drop alot of bombs with one round which can hit several targets, while the banshee only has the ability to shoot at one target with each round.
