The GDI Firehawk
I love the hawks, they are so... Destructive!! Once you get your hands on those, you are set for the rest of the game. They fast, they hit with deadly precision and will spell disaster when used in triplets. All this firepower comes at a price though. It uses its ammo on the defensive portion, unlike any other unit and it's paper thin. it's worst nightmare is the scrap bus.
Fact why so many players love them is simple, they are effective and get the job done. Playing with a 180% alliance bonus makes them nearly unstoppable. Not only do I recommend it, it's a must have!

The Firehawk, the faster you get it, the faster you will succeed. Clear a path for it and will take down anything in its path that remains standing. They are also very useful to clear garbage like Tank Traps and Barb Wire early in the attack. The Firehawk should always be #1 priority when starting, you can go without it for a while, read the strategies page and videos for more on prioritizing.
