Aurora Alpha

The Aurora Alpha was a small, supersonic attack-bomber utilised by the USA General General Alexis Alexander as an improvment to the Aurora carrying a destructive Fuel Air Bomb. 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.

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.
