| − | Being a strategic bomber, badger requires a specially built airfield and cannot operate from a field airbase, therefore - field commanders are not given direct control of such planes. Instead it is used to conduct strategic bombings runs and to deliver special support. One of examples of such support is via Desolator bomb calldown option available to Soviet field commanders via Soviet Top Secret Protocols. Also, Soviet black-ops agent [[Natasha]] is given authority to paint a target and then call in Badger-class bomber for a deadly precise guided bomb strike. Badger bomber can perform dive bomb maneuver for better accuracy. They also noted of capable to escape above the theater with speed surpassing Allied's [[Century Bomber]]. They can also launch [[Paratroopers]] if mission required |

| − | Technicians beware: the nature of the payload and aircraft fuel means that a loaded, fueled Badger is highly explosive.

The cargo plane in Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge is a support aircraft, used to drop reinforcements by all factions.
Game unit
The cargo plane flies in onto the battlefield when the Paradrop or Airborne support powers are used. When Paradrop is used, it will drop six G.I.s for the Allies, nine Conscripts for the Soviets, or six Initiates for Yuri. In the case of Airborne, it will drop eight G.I.s instead. The aircraft can be also seen dropping vehicles or flying on set paths as decoration in certain campaign missions.
