4.30: The Wombat (TA:CC) | [Back to the WarGuide]
The mobile rocket launching hovercrafts in TA:CC really add a whole new strategy to the game; that is, being able to hit ships with those powerful rockets. Now you can park a few in a hidden area, jammed with an escort or phantom, and watch your enemy's fleet get pounded and wonder where its all coming from. They also enable you to attack a base from anywhere. Although their damage and range is somewhat less than their vehicle kin, their versatility outweighs this disadvantage by more than 100 percent. Now you can bombard by the water, and destroy enemy ships very quickly like in the picture below! If you can find a hole in your opponent's base, and sneak these suckers in there, you can really take care of some business. I located a fusion with an infiltrator, and found a hole to get through. Within a few seconds there was one big explosion in my opponent's base, and he didn't know what was going on. I must say that the Wombat is probably one of my three favorite units in TA:CC, included with the Archer and the underwater fusion plant.
