GDI Predator

The GDI Predator

  
This is one of the units you should get early on in the game.  It will clear way for other units.  It's fast, hit hard and has a decent defense.  When acquired early along with the Firehawks, this will set you up for the whole game.  Many players still use them.  They do cost a lot less than a Mammoth and more can be built but it doesn't have the firepower of a Mammoth.

The Predator is an all around excellent mass production tank.  It's light weight, has a strong main gun and can dispose of a lot of clutter.  Later on, you're better off to use Mammoths and Paladins as it will give your army a better balance. 

*The Predator Defensive edition is the same unit as the attacker.  There is no real difference other than they go side to side. I don't find this unit very useful but many players do.  Yet again, defense was never my strong suit.

This is one of the intermediate units.  You can get it quite early in the game if you play a lot and it will pave your way into the future.  Definitely a must have for starters.  Only thing I didn't like about it is was too fast and didn't fit in with my playstyle.
