Upcoming units leaked: catalyst gunship, the wrath, battering ram

Got some info from discord about some of the upcoming units. Maybe there is more info about them leaked somewhere else already, but I got only names and some gifs of them so far. The names and images are obviously not final.

Nod anti-vehicle air unit (potentially also anti-infantry): Catalyst gunship:

Notes: This seems to be a similar unit to the GDI mohawk. It deals good damage to vehicles. If the target is standing on a tiberium cloud (or maybe tib field), the shots of the gunship will deal extra damage. You can also notice that a bar fills up while the gunship is fighting, indicating that it will possibly shoot out an empowered attack once it's filled. This bar depletes when out of combat, however. I guess that infantry damage is quite weak, unless it is standing in a gascloud, in which case the bonus damage triggers and deals massive damage.

Nod anti-vehicle air unit: The shade (or the wrath):

Notes: It seems to be an anti-vehicle air unit similar to the GDI Orca. This unit is stealthed when not fighting. Once it fires, an EMP will go off, stunning vehicles around the unit. It has 8 shots which reload after some time. Seems to be reloading faster than the Orca, but it has less total damage.

GDI anti-structure(?) vehicle: Battering ram:

Notes: ... I honestly don't know what this is. I can't tell what this unit is good against. It's obviously good against structures, but I have no info about infantry or vehicle damage, or if attacks have an extra effect. The unit might be build in the techlab. It can also climb over small hills, making it good at sneakily flanking the base.

Opinion: The Nod units seem fun to use and are unique. But I seriously don't know what to think of the battering ram XD

    Well, I am slightly color blind, so the only thing I can say with any certainty is that there was some sort of blue.

  • I do wonder why they designed so many Nod air units that are strong vs. vehicles. We already have four now: Banshee, Inferno, Laser Drones, Shade. There is really no need at all for yet another one (the Catalyst Gunship).

    What Nod does need is a cheap flying unit for anti-air duty. Kind of like GDI has with the Talon.
