A massive rip in the in the very fabric of reality was caused inadvertently by the Scrins use of their rift weapon. This anomaly would eventually be known has the Dimensional rift. The effects were devastating, the time line was shattered and suddenly people, events, vehicles even buildings suddenly ceased to exist. Suddenly both GDI & Nod had vastly altered armies. Old technology was mixed in with the new, briefly the war was suspended, has both armies struggled to come to terms with both their loses and their new additions. And what of the Scrin? completely unaffected! It was 3 weeks after the dimensional rift that the first skirmish occurred. Nod forces destroyed a relief convoy that was moving to assist a small GDI outpost, all personnel were lost. Belatedly GDI declared war on Nod, the tools of war may have change, but Tiberium was still present, Kane still alive and mankind's future still uncertain.

coool!
wow i thought the yellow would make it look wierd but it fits beautifully
gold its gold :P
is anybody else bothered by the fact that having only two engines on each side of something that takes off and lands vertically is impossible?
I will add here that I counted 2 lift-fans, 2 additional fans in the tail-fins, and 4 thrusters in front of the bomb-bays.
Also who gives a damn about realism in CnC? CnC has house-sized walkers and orbital particle cannon platforms.
1. What Helge said.
2. Why is it impossible? Have you never heard of angling the engines so it takes off vertically with all the thrust going downwards, and then angling them to give forward propulsion while the wings provide part of the lift?
-10000 votes to evilfishy's comment, even if the main rotors were behind the center of gravity, they vould blow upward to keep the tail down and the aircraft balanced.
2. Quoting Helge because it cant be said better: " . . . who gives a dam about realism in CnC?"
3. We arent really building these aircraft so f*ck the laws of physics here!

The CV-22 Osprey (A real-life aircraft) isn't "physically possible"? Yes, those are helicopter rotors that the Osprey have, but those ARE "engines"...and, in actuality, the engines the Orca variants use are similar in design.
