4.34: The Pelican (TA:CC) | [Back to the WarGuide]
I was really pleased with this unit. It is an amphibious Kbot, but it has a sort of twist to it. For one thing, the Pelican does not travel underwater. When approaced with water, it 'transforms' into a sort of boat, gliding across the surface of the water. Secondly, it can shoot while in the water, or on land. It has two weapons, an anti-air missle launcher and a laser, both of which can be fired at the same time. The Pelican is a great unit to use if you want to set up another base somewhere, or guard a new underwater facility. It can attack both land and air units, and go after hovercrafts as well. This is its one advantage over the Panther. I have also found that they work well with Skeeters for water attacks, and can also help guard your precious carriers from air and land attacks. The Pelican is definately the most versatile unit in the game, kudos to Cavedog on this one.
