Orca Bomber

An Orca Bomber was a powerful twin engined bomber plane, both heavier and more powerful than an Orca Fighter. However, it was also slower.

Description
At some point before the Second Tiberium War, the Orca Bomber was developed to complement the regular Orca Fighter. Instead of firing off a number of two missile volleys, the Orca Bomber preffered to do line bombing on enemy targets. The bombs dropped were extremely effective against regular infantry, killing them in a single hit, and moderately effective against vehicles, being able to kill lightly armored vehicles easily. However, as the Brotherhood's light vehicles were often extremely fast, particularly the Attack Cycle, this was difficult. However, the true strength of the Orca Bomber lay in striking enemy structures. Being large and fixed in place, they would absorb all of the bombs dropped in a line - all would add to puncture holes in the structure, rather than in the ground near a targeted unit or vehicle.

In battles where GDI commanders received Orca bombers, they were used to destroy pretty much anything before them. A trio of Orca bombers could level nearly any structure, and in groups, could destroy even the construction yard. Even outside of the base, they were particularly effective at destroying artillery and cyborgs, owing to the lightly armored (for vehicles), nature of both of these targets.

History
An Orca Bomber was used to destroy a damaged Tick Tank, allowing Nod forces to rescue one of their commanders from GDI's clutches. This indicates that GDI had developed the technology for Orca bombers at the start of the Second Tiberium War. They were also used by CABAL to weaken enemy bases during Nod's final assault on Cabal's core.
