Devastator warship

"Alien devastators are heading to our base!"

The Devastator warship was an advanced Scrin aircraft seen during the Third Tiberium War.

Background
Devastator Warships are largely responsible for the destruction of Earth's major blue zones, hence their name. They can inflict grievous damage on anything and everything below with relentless barrages from their tremendously long-ranged Zeus Plasma Disc Batteries, even as they float ponderously across the sky. Much like the Stormriders that provide covering fire for them, Devastator Warships also thrive in ion storms.

Game unit
Devastator Warships are long-ranged artillery ships that fire lethal volleys of "Zeus" plasma discs that can easily rain destruction on the most fortified bases. Like most Scrin aircraft, they receive a bonus while operating inside an Ion Storm. They outrange all AA defensive structures, unless they get in range of them before firing.

Also, the Devastator's firing range is larger than their sight range, meaning that human controlled Devastators will close within range of AA defenses unless another unit is "spotting" the structure for them, allowing them to fire before entering range.

Devastators also do splash damage.
