Is orca op?
Am I just bad or is the orca really difficult to counter? I always use it playing gdi and it seems almost everyone does. My issue is the speed, unless you have several missile/laser squads lined unde...
Pitbulls are great since you can chase them down, but playing as nod I time and time again can have a missile squad and a banshee waiting for an orca to bomb my harvester and it can always fire before dying. It's also difficult to have units waiting since the orca is so fast. A missile squad can't kill it fast enough, any ground unit will be killed in one shot and it can reload before you can send another. It might be a different story with equal levels but who has that luxury in this game.
Just feels like it's nearly right but given the popularity and how often it is the turning point of matches it seems like it isn't quite balanced. I might have to swap banshee for phantom but then I am dead against titans, avatars and tanks so it's not quite worth it for most matches.
Playing as nod I find it funny stealth and orca oneshot each other
