Kane's Wrath Unit Spotlight - GDI Hammerhead

[Sonic 297]

A new unit spotlight has been posted on the Official C&C 3 Site. The focus this time is the GDI Hammerhead. Some new screen shots were posted as well.

 

The GDI Hammerhead

Modelled after transport helicopters of the 20th century, the GDI Hammerhead was designed for long-range assault and infantry support. The large central compartment of the Hammerhead can house a full infantry regiment, with enough internal maneuverability to allow the unit to fire safely at external threats. For the case of unarmed passengers, the Hammerhead utilizes twin Vulcan Cannons to clear the landing space of potential adversaries. Significant additional storage space has been allotted to fuel and ammunition, allowing the Hammerhead to remain in action for days at a time without the need to refuel or rearm.

 

The high level of customizability of the Hammerhead proved to be an invaluable ally to GDI Commanders on the battlefield, allowing for rapid transport of troops into key combat situations, and beating a hasty retreat when met with overwhelming odds.

Check out the full unit spotlight on the Official C&C 3 Site for more.

Take the GDI Engineer rush to the next level! Use Hammerheads to destroy the buzzers pouring from a defending buzzer hive while your Engineer captures key enemy structures, or to quickly scout for holes in the opponent’s defense.

 

Oh crap!

 

Otherwise, looks like a darn awesome unit.

You mean graphically? Yeah, strangely screenshots of KW oftentimes look worse than the main game.

Probably GDI kicking idiotic Nod ass.

Yeah, those hammerheads are going to be interesting, specially when you stick other faction infantry in there. Like, Blackhands... heheh...

 

As for Hammerhead Engi rushes, I don't think it'll be that big of a problem, as it is a tier 2 ability, and by the time you get there, your enemy should have one or two units out and about, assuming they don't eco boom, but then, w/e for them.

Well, I want to kick the 360 Tripod Rusher A**es.
