Orca Fighter

An Orca Fighter was GDI's primary attack fighter during the First and Second Tiberium War. Its role changed little during that time.

Description
Orca Fighters were VTOL small VTOL helicopters equipped with rotors that operated with internal rotors, rather than external rotors. They were equipped with a number of missiles, which they fired in 2 round volleys. This made them effective against vehicles, but not so much against buildings or structures. They were lightly armored but extremely fast.

First Tiberium War
During the First Tiberium War, Orca Fighters were effective at annihilating enemy armor, particularly flame tanks, but were extremely vulnerable to Nod SAM Sites, and their large missiles. However, their missiles and the light armor present on some Nod structures meant that they could also be used to destroy some light buildings such as Obelisks.

Second Tiberium War
During the Second Tiberium War, little about the Orca Fighter changed, as it was still a fast fighter armed with missiles. However, it had been supplemented by the Orca Bomber, which was much heavier and armed with heavy bombs, making it much more effective against buildings. Since the Orca Bomber was slower and much less effective against vehicles, the Orca Fighter was retained in the GDI arsenal.
