GDI Airbourne Units

This section covers some of the airbourne units available to the Global Defense Initiative.
GDI excels in its airforce, providing both speed and power, and allowing rapid response to new threats on the battlefield.
The Orca fleet has remained legends of the air through all of the Tiberium Conflicts.
All units listed here are subject to change.

Orca Fighter Price: 1200 Weapon: Screamer Missiles, 80mm Machine Gun Speed: 16 Armour: Wood, 220 Description: The Orca Fighter has had some modifications since its use in the Firestorm Skirmishes. The Orca Fighter now no longer needs to return to the helipad to refuel and rearm. Armed with both missiles and a machine gun, this unit proves its worth against all units, be it infantry, ground, naval or air units. It is not particularly effective against fortified structures.

Orca Bomber Price: 1600 Weapon: Mk.V Crusade Missiles Speed: 14 Armour: Wood, 300 Description: The Orca Bomber completes the Orca Fleet with an air-unit designed to take out the most armoured units and buildings. The new weapon of the Orca Bomber is not bombs per se, but armour-piercing missiles. This allows the unit to successfully attack the most armoured targets, allowing to deal great damage. The missiles can be fired from a distance, giving greater defense against anti-aircraft fire.

Orca Defender Price: 1900 Weapon: Mk.III Crusade Missiles - Rapid Fire, all targets. Speed: 6 Armour: Wood, 400 Description: Another new addition to the GDI Airforce. The Defender is like the Orca Fighter in that it doesn't need to return to a helipad to refuel. More heavily armoured and armed than the Orca-Fighter, but also a lot slower. As a result, this unit is best used for defending its home-base.

Naval Orca [Aircraft Carrier Only] Price: 1400 Weapon: 2x Screamer Missiles - Additional Ammo Speed: 18 Armour: Wood, 210 Description: The Naval Orca comes with the Pelican and Poseidon Aircraft Carriers. Only able to dock at aircraft carriers, the Naval Orca can be limited. Although it is self-sustaining, it does need to be refuelled and repaired at an aircraft carrier. Armed with the same missiles as the Orca Fighter and Orca Interceptor, but with a larger complement than that found on the Interceptor.

Orca Carry-All Price: 1200 Weapon: - Speed: 17 Armour: Wood, 220 Description: The Orca Carry-All has not changed much since the Firestorm Skirmishes except with a new design. Its engine efficiency has slightly increased allowing slightly greater speed, even with additional armour as well as a more solid structure allowing it to take more damage.

Orca Transport [Mission Only] Price: - Weapon: - Speed: 16 Armour: Wood, 250 Description: Orca Transports are used to carry infantry into the battlefield, slow but reasonably armoured. Not controllable by the player.

Dropship [Mission Only] Price: - Weapon: - Speed: 17 Armour: Wood, 300 Description: The dropship is a massive armoured air unit used to deploy infantry and units onto the battlefield. Not controllable by the player.
