NOD Venom




The GDI Orca
   
The Orca can be compared to a Warthog plane, it attacks infantry and does a good job at it.  Perfect to use against those pesky MG Nests and Snipers.  With its upgrade, the EMP Grenade (which is meant to disable electronics), will disable vehicles in its range.

This upgrade is deadly against artillery heavy bases.  It makes the Orca a very worthy buy in my opinion.  I don't use them because my army is fine without them but could release a few Sniper Teams but meh, not now lol  




STATS:

Army Points Usage:
  • 10
Range:
  • 1.5
Strongest Against:
  • Any infantry
  • MG Nests
Weakest Against:
  • Anti-Air Artillery
  • Anti-Air Wall Structures
  • MG Nests (When too closely leveled)
  • Forgotten Mammoths
  • Missile Squads
  • Scrap Buses 
Special Upgrade:

This thing is amazing when used right.  You need fast units on the second line like Predators, to come finish them off, plus it will take out some infantry on the ground.  Sending a sniper with them is always a good idea because they will take out Missile Squads that might pose a problem.

The Orca is a good choice at any level but hasn't always been that way.  Without the upgrade, the Orca isn't that good of a unit.  I've been on the receiving end of those and they aren't pleasant to watch, especially if you are heavy is vehicle defense but was nice in a sense that my bases don't have much infantry.  Highly recommended for PvP.
