GDI aircraft: Three times the same?

Let's check some of the GDI aircraft real quick:

1.) There is the Orca. It is strong against vehicles, cannot attack air units, and doesn't do much damage against infantry.

2.) There is the Mohawk Gunship. It is strong against vehicles, cannot attack air units, and doesn't do much damage against infantry.

3.) There is the new Orca Bomber. It is... let's see... it is strong against vehicles, cannot attack air units, and... oh... it doesn't do much damage against infantry. 🤔

Oh wow! I love me some grand versatility in my units! ;-)

Snark aside though - they really seem to be a bit too similar in their role. Maybe if one of them could also attack air units? Or was strong against infantry (maybe including some other drawback to make up for that)?

What are your thoughts and opinions?

borca is horrible for base damage as outside tiles take reduced damage, but the tile UNDER the borca takes full damage. So it does best when flying OVER enemy targets, and it can't do this to the base. So it's not a base racing unit.

This unit is just terrible and no match to inferno just avoid it for now.

The borca? Really? I find it's pretty strong. I wouldn't be surprised to see it get a nerf soon.

never played because not good enough. its just to slow, to clumpsy and to expensiv for what it offers. can be played but it gets easy countered

None of the GDi anti-vehicle air units have an anti-air role. I mean if your using a pure air army for maneuverability, your dead from a combo of talons and missile squads. If only one can counter the talon with some orca missiles. I'm sure the talon is no match to it... 1 to 2 salvos and done
