NOD Cobra

The GDI Paladin

  
I was originally very disappointed with the Paladin.  Being a huge C&C: Generals fan, the Paladin tank there was the best tank EA has ever made (Aside from the Mammoth) so this was a big let down.  Nonetheless, it is still a very useful unit.  It only does good against vehicles but is given a cool range.  It's defense is also quite stunning compared to some ground units.

I don't use a whole lot anymore, just have one base with them just in case, and it's a rare case I need them.  They ARE good units and I do recommend them throughout the game, they work impressively well with Mammoths, a row of 3 Mammoths and 2 Paladins is quite effective.

It's really hard to tell what a Paladin actually is.  It hovers like a helicopter but uses thrusters.  It is a pretty effective unit and can be used as a deterrent for your other air units like firehawks.  They do add a good strategic value to any army.
