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...

wrong a single ORCAB can not take out a conyard or WF by itself it just needs 2. I think the Reaper is very unbalanced. It got an anti inf weapon that disables them
highly effective against air, vehicles and buildings.

Actually, Cyborg Reapers suck against just about all moving targets, since their cluster missiles are "ranged" (as dictated by firestrm.ini), they explode before they reach the target unless it's moving toward them or sitting still. They're also lightly armored (although they heal quickly in tiberium fields) and the locomotor they use means they crawl very slowly when changing direction while already moving. The Disruptor's weapon is EXTREMELY effective against Reapers (and, well... everything else lol), and having a group of them fire on a single Reaper will instantly promote all of them since the ambient damage of the sonic wave will "kill" the Reaper repeatedly after it runs out of health until it explodes. Which brings me to say that Orca Bombers are overpowered, but don't work well against heavier units. I think the only unit more overpowered is the Disruptor. It has heavy armor (can take THREE hits from a CyCommando before dying), a weapon that does extremely heavy damage to ALL ground targets and can even penetrate Firestorm defense walls, and decent speed. Its only disadvantage is no AA weapon, which IMO is about equal to the Reaper having crappy AA capabilities.
