This unit is gdis venom but they already got the talon for infantry, so what’s the point of this thing? Can’t two talon at same cost be more useful in early game ? the unit seem to be tailor for high end players with micro control so the shoot while moving ability shines compare to other unit of the same type.
it should take out nearly all of cyborg and zone before it goes down make them lethal against those two.
it is good to see there are still new content after three freaking months, but a far cry in bug fix and other material than before June.
Well, talons can shoot while on the move. Most units can't do that, only some can like predator, pit-bull, chem buggy, tick tank, avatar, mammoth and so on. Majority of raider units are anti-vehicle, this changes the playing field since the razorback is added. It feels like a flying chem buggy/shatterer with less lethality, like remove the gas clouds and the stun effect. Nod needs 1 or two more air units since GDI now has 7 and Nod has 5.

Are you quite sure? The game does not describe them as having the raider ability.

Razorbacks have raider. Hammerheads have somewhat of a raider. Talons do NOT have raider.
Already made some testing with the razorbacks:
- it can kill 3 missile squads when fighting them 1 by 1
- it looses a 1vs2 against missile squads
- 2 of them will defeat a zonetrooper squad
- 1 can not defeat a single zone trooper member, even with boost, but it was very close
- it deals some damage to vehicles
- the dps against infantry is as high, maybe even higher, as the shatterer, but shatterer is better against zones because of the stun
- base damage is bad
- it has quite some HP, more than a talon, a bit less than a mohawk
- I made a line of 4 missile squads and send 2 razorbacks on the sides flying on the sides of the missiles, 1 squad survived, but that was because they all focused down one razorback
- right now there is a bug, units directly below the razorback do not take damage, but this should be fixed soon
Personal opinion:
Really good unit! A lot of fun to use too, gunning down infantry XD
GDI's counterpart to the chembuggy, maybe even stronger. I hope the bug gets fixed soon.

If you know how stupidly strong chembuggy is, then you will also know that this unit will be stupidly strong, too.
The raider property makes this a very strong unit. Also, you can chase fleeing infantry down since you can just fly over them while they retreat.
Whats the point of this new unit?? At the end of the day, they nerf it just like they did to shatterer and slingshot. They develop another GDI useless unit, i dislike with introduction of this new unit and i know they dont care about users opinion...

Good point though, it seems more fit for the drone swarm to have the same cost as the talon and DPS raised so high no infantry can stop it. I'd see this unit more fit to join Nod as the Cobra (C&C 4 unit and TIberum Alliances). Instead of an anti-vehicle like the banshee or drone swarm, its an anti-infantry with anti-air machine-gun. This unit should cost 50 tiberium and has more dps than the venom.
