Nod Airbourne Units

This section covers some of the airbourne units available to the Brotherhood of Nod.
Nod's air power was barely recognisable in the first Tiberium War. Come the second, new breakthroughs in technology gained by the Tacitus through the help of Kane and CABAL led the way to the Banshee, and other "Scrin"-based technologies. However, due to the loss of both Kane and CABAL, these technologies have proved troublesome to control, and as a result have forced the Brotherhood's hand in going back to the old wagons of war. Due to the use of these "basic" aircraft, the Brotherhood's air armada has expanded dramatically, offering a wide array of units for various tasks. Although not as potent as GDI's counterparts, they are still a force to be reckoned with in numbers.
All units listed here are subject to change.

Talon General Purpose: Air Support/Anti Infantry/Anti Stealth Price: 1000 Speed: 12 Armour: Light, 170 Equipment: Infrared Visor, Radar Jammer Weapon: "Venom" Twin Barrel Machine Gun Calibre: 12.7mm Ammunition: TCJHP Bullets Description: A helicopter based on an old design of the AH-1E, this unit is lighter and moves quicker, its main role is taking out light targets and infantry. Its useful for scouting or recon missions. Its onboard infrared scanner allows it to see and attack cloaked targets like stealth tanks and such, which help in internal Nod affairs.

Harpy General Purpose: Anti Armour/Anti Tank Price: 1200 Speed: 10 Armour: Light, 190 Equipment: Laser Targeting Device Weapon: ATN78 "Howl" Missile Launcher Calibre: 90mm Ammunition: Extra Penetrating Armor Piercing Missiles Description: The Harpy is Nod's leading attack helicopter, designed for handling enemy vehicular targets. Its taken a big change since its last apperance on the battlefield and its armor has been significantly improved. The new "Howl" missiles have double the range as GDI's Orca Fighter missiles, travel twice as fast, and with built in laser targeting making them extremely precise. This has all, however caused in an increased cost in the Harpy.

Longbow [Mission Only] General Purpose: Experimental Airbased Test Bed Price: 1450 Speed: 10 Armour: Light, 210 Equipment: Variable Weapon: ATN81 "Howl" Missile Launcher Calibre: 90mm Ammunition: Tiberium Missiles Description: The Longbow is based off of an ageing, although reliable helicopter chassis. Slower than the Harpy and Talon, but more armoured. The Longbow is used as a testbed for new technologies being developed, these include systems not just limited to aircraft based weaponry, so be careful when confronted by these units, as you cannot be sure what weaponry you will be up against.

Viper General Purpose: Anti Armour/Anti Tank Bomber Price: 1250 Speed: 33 Armour: Light, 180 Equipment: N/A Weapon: "Viper" Rocket Pods Calibre: 90mm Ammunition: Armour Piercing Rockets Description: This unit replaces the Banshee. It is designed to deliver damage as quickly as possible and return to its base just as quick. This aircraft lacks armour but its speed makes up for it, it is even able to outrun some AA defenses.

Spectre General Purpose: Special Bomber/Research Test Bed Price: 1450 Speed: 18 Armour: Light, 230 Equipment: N/A Weapon: Bombing Bay Bomb Weight: 850lb Ammunition: CB-59R Cluster Radiation Bombs Description: Initially designed as a test aircraft, the Brothehood soon decided that the Spectre could have a more offensive role. Its cluster radiation bombs have a nasty after effect, leaving the attacked areas "radioactive". Any units/buildings in contact with radiation will suffer damage, radiation will eventually die away after time. There may be some Spectres out there still testing Brotherhood weaponry.

Paltus [Mission Only] General Purpose: Air Transport Price: 1150 Speed: 12 Armour: Light, 230 Equipment: Troop and Vehicle Transport Weapon: N/A Calibre: N/A Ammunition: N/A Description: This is Nod's heavy lift air unit, not commonly used unless in critical situations. These units can also drop any unit they are ferrying safely to the battlefield.

Banshee Eclipse [Mission Only] General Purpose: Unknown Price: 2100 Speed: 18 Armour: Wood, 280 Equipment: Unknown Weapon: Eclipse Plasma Cannon Calibre: N/A Ammunition: N/A Description: Not many people in the Brotherhood are aware of this units existence, and most people who are don't really know its purpose. Even though the orignal Banshee was retired due to unreliability, some hidden and more advanced prototypes were still left behind.
