Aurora

The Aurora was a small, supersonic attack-bomber utilised by the USA in its war with the GLA. Carrying a single small, but highly dangerous bomb, the Aurora was most commonly used to destroy enemy structures. On its attack run, the Aurora's great speed prevented any enemy anti-aircraft weapons from successfully attacking it; however, on its return it could no longer sustain such a speed, and the thinly-armoured Aurora proved vulnerable.

The Auroras of Generals:General Malcolm Granger were equipped with laser defense systems, allowing them to evade the majority of enemy anti-air missile attacks.

General Alexis Alexander, the 'Superweapon General', developed her own, improved version of the Aurora, known as the Aurora Alpha.

Upgrades
As with all US units, the Aurora could receive Advanced Training. Later in the conflict, all US aircraft were able to be upgraded with Countermeasures that reduced the effectiveness of anti-aircraft attacks.

Tactics
The primary purpose of the Aurora is demolition. Two Aurora bombs will destroy many buildings. However, the Aurora is extremely vulnerable on its return run and must be used carefully (as it is also expensive). In addition to buildings, Auroras are effective at destroying slow-moving vehicles, such as artillery and Overlord tanks.

Counters
Absolutely nothing may attack an Aurora on its bombing run. However, any anti-aircraft weapon or fighter jet is effective once the Aurora is forced to slow down.
