Hello everyone, hopefully time has been treating you well since the last update.
I know it's been a while since our last update but never fear, things are still progressing nicely towards completion. Today for your inspection we have the latest generation of the Brotherhoods AA base defence, the SAM site, as well as a look at one of Nods most lethal weapons, the Banshee.

IMPORTANT:- Upgrade to Nod anti-aircraft defences.
The above image comes from the gun-cam footage of a downed GDI recon aircraft, obtained during a recent Search and Rescue operation undertaken by GDI Special Forces. This new AA design has vastly improved range over Nods original SAM sites and delivers a pair of high explosive warheads with pinpoint accuracy. Recommendation from field teams are that they are to be removed by ground fire before calling in ORCA support, due to the increased lethality of these weapon systems.
Please distribute and inform all your pilots of this upgrade.

The following image and audio transcript are all we have in relation to the total destruction of one of our forward airbases near Sarajevo. We don't know what they are or even where they came from.
Begin Audio Transcript.
Radar operative :- Sir, we've got four unidentified contacts closing fast, 20 klicks out.
Base Commander:- Launch ORCA fighters, how in hell did they get that close before you saw them? I want to know who and what they are. Now!
Radio Operative:- Unidentified Aircraft, you are ordered to reduce speed and change course, you are trespassing on GDI airspace. Failure to do so will be met with lethal force. This is your one and only warning.
Radar operative:- No change in course and no response from unidentified contacts, sir.
Base Commander:- Tag them as hostile. Order the ORCAs to engage when they hit 5 klicks out.
Radar operative:- ORCAs moving into weapons range........, Shit we've lost them! I repeat all four ready ORCAs have been destroyed. All contacts incoming.
Base commander:- What the hell are they! And what are they firing? Send out a Mayday, someone needs to see this.
Radar operative:- Here they come..................
End of record.
The technology is years beyond what we've seen from brotherhood insurgents, we face the real possibility that a third faction has entered the fray.
It is recommended by high command that you increase the number of ready ORCAs in light of this new threat.

That's all for this update folks, as always please comment on what you've seen. Don't forget to add us on Facebook.com and Twitter.com as well.
Till next time, Yggdrasil signing off

Challenge accepted boys?

they thought they'd take down a banshee using orcas? its like trying to put out a fire using petroleum. its no use and really really dangerous for the one who does that.
Depending on the explosion you can remove enough oxygen from the vicinity to put the fire out though :)
big up!
I take out banshees with MMK2's and it has only failed me once :D
Of course we know about the Banshee, but that comment kind of makes me hope there is going to be a third faction. It almost seems necessary to give CABAL its own equipment the way it worked in Firestorm.
So ORCAs and Banshees can attack other Air targets? Nod steals Alien technology to build advanced Anti gravity fighters? this is one heck of a challange for the GDI. I am ready to face Nod!
@Jeffman12
This third faction is obviously the Scrin which will be seen in C&C3.
NOD is reverse engineering alien tech, more specifically Tacitus tech, I imagine. So their units SHOULD look a little bit alien, which they do. Good job with the models.
@Havoc_frost
I always **** my yellow pants when commanding a MK2 and then see a banshee XD
