TEManual_NOD_Banshee.jpg
Description:
Afterburner is possible new ability of banshee as requested by community. It will very likely replace enhanced avionics as upgrade so this ability will be build in. Hopefully this will improve banshee usefulness.
As for the Banshee, it is a fighter, so it should attack aircraft by default. Though Enhanced Avionics sounds more interesting IMO than Afterburners. QUICK_EDIT
The banshee is more of a ground support aircraft. Always has been since TS.
In TS,there was a fighter and a bomber for each side,so the banshee was NOD bomber.
Since the banshee seems to be based on the Storm Rider (AA/AG) to some extent ,and with the threat of the alien air forces,it could be a logical improvement to give it anti-air ability. QUICK_EDIT
the banshee was afaik supposed to be unit/armor vehicle interceptor, not a bomber, of course everyone used it to attack key structures aswell but its not a real bomber as that. _________________ Hydraw Art on Facebook QUICK_EDIT
Well a bomber drops bombs. The banshee does not do that. It is a ground support aircraft, like the Su-25 Frogfoot or A-10 Thunderbolt. A bomber is dedicated to bombing, like the B-52 _________________

You can't call it a bomber unless it does nothing but drop bombs... "bomber" isn't a term used to describe anything that simply attacks ground targets. It's for that reason you don't call the A-10 a bomber, or the orca a bomber (except of course for the orca that does drop bombs)
If it were a fighter, it'd be primarily used to attack enemy aircraft, not stuff like the Mammoth MK II
Back to original topic, whether or not it can attack aircraft by default is up to game play balance. Frankly, the Banshee is one of the top tier units of Nod, and if its default attack is restricted to aircraft, it'd have to be so good at attacking aircraft that it'd make laser venoms redundant as AA. _________________
