Kane's Wrath Preview - New Units for Nod

[Sonic 296]

GameSpot have posted a new, but short, preview that takes a look at the new units for Nod in Kane's Wrath. One new screen shot was included in this preview. Here is a sample.

 

Mantis

The Mantis is essentially the Black Hand subfaction's answer to air attacks--to which it became increasingly vulnerable after abandoning the use of the Nod stealth tank for being against the subfaction's religious beliefs. (Though to be safe, this unit is also equipped with stealth-detection abilities.) The Mantis bears a silo of surface-to-air (SAM) missiles that will prove very effective against low-level flying units, and these can be upgraded to more-powerful Tiberium Core Missiles.

So, they found a name for the "tanktank"... "Missile Tank" would have sufficed but obvious names are out of fashion, I guess.

Tanktank is by far a better name, than Mantis.

[Inferno 22]

It better have decent armor
