The Nod Support Crawler was the Crawler used by the Brotherhood of Nod Support Class in Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight. It was the fastest and least durable of Nod's Crawlers.
Background[]
Nod has significantly expanded their arsenal of aircraft since the Third Tiberium War and have developed a Crawler specialized in their deployment. Projected to be a mobile airbase, it was designed with the ability to construct a wide variety of aircraft, from Venom rocket ships to Vertigo bombers, Support commanders are masters of the skies, able to clear out enemy air forces or rain death from above. In addition to their aircraft wings, Support commanders have access to the more experimental units and abilities Nod has to offer, including the powerful Leviathan capital ship. The Support Crawler itself can be outfitted with rocket turrets for defense, but its most useful upgrade is the onboard stealth generator, allowing Nod to deploy its aircraft from seemingly thin air.
In-game[]
This large flying unit is heavily armoured, and can deploy airborne units, and slowly charges Power Points, which are used to call in support powers, such as Eyes of the People and Vein detonation. Inable to retaliate from attacks in the early moments of the match, it can be upgraded to tier 2, which grants it two missile pods, and further to tier 3, which gives a repair radius when packed up, so that it can repair units in the vicinity without ever having to deploy. Because the crawler flies, it can quickly cross the battlefield, flying over terrain normal units cannot walk/drive over. When upgraded with the Mobile Stealth Generator, it is stealthed during flight, allowing it to be unseen by most units. This can be used tactically, by building units while flying, then suddely popping up to deploy 5 units, only to pack up, activate stealth, and fly away again. Alternatively, if the enemy lacks any stealth detection units in the area, a Tier 3 cloaked crawler can be set to hold fire and kept close to attacking units to provide constant repairs without fear of retaliation. The crawlers that are upgraded with Charged Capacitors are capable of recharging Power Point rapidly, so that devastating powers can be used more often.
