To clarify what I said about the V-35s being un-armed at the 10:24 mark. I was specifically speaking about the aircraft itself. However, if you garrison infantry units in an APC and then have the Ox pick up that APC, then the units inside it will fire down on enemies below them. I wasn't sure if this was an intentional gameplay feature or if it's some kind of glitch; so I ended up leaving it out of the script. Also, as others have pointed out, the Missile Squads in the Hammerheads could shoot at enemy aircraft.

It was never actually built, since A) Flying that fast, that low would be virtually suicidal for the pilot and B) the effects of this weapon would potentially be considered a war crime, with predictions of it being capable of exploding heads of infantry as it flew over.

I dont think they were really a sercet or after years of testing just became a badly kepted secret. The reason i think this is, is because C&C was released in 95 and the F-22 first flew in 97 and formally entered service in 2005. The YF-22 and YF-23 prototypes were flown in 1990, and the Lockheed-Boeing-General Dynamics team won the ATF contest in 1991. After nearly 44,000 wind tunnel test hours, 13,000 material sample tests, six years of development, and a trio of program rephasings mandated by Congress, the F-22 was finally airborne. So it seems that the design or at least the early look of the F-22 was public knowledge.

It is sort of handwaved in lore by stating that regiments are kept fighting until they are so depleted they are no longer combat effective, so that regiment with 100 guardsmen started as a much bigger force and these were the last survivors. Said regiments are either merged with other depleted regiments (forming what is referred to as "scratch regiments"), sent back to their world to replenish their numbers, or discharged from service and, depending on their deeds, often being allowed to settle conquered territory. Of course, they could also be sent for some lifelong R&R on that planet that also exports an unusually large quantity of Servitors. Odd.

I think the GDI also might’ve used the Grumman F-14 Tomcats during the First Tib War since there was one scene in the intro where GDI troops were onboarding a Black Hawk on an aircraft carrier and there’s some shapes of aircraft that looks like an F-14.

Ox’s can’t lift Harvesters due to the Tiberium being too dangerous to fly around a battlefield. They can’t lift Rigs due to their intricate machinery. They can’t lift Mammoths because… girth? I guess. Edit: I was in a rush when I wrote this so I'll elaborate a little. The Harvesters will likely either have a full cargo hold or traces of Tiberium inside them. In either case if they get shot down, that's more Tiberium contamination - potentially over a Yellow or even Blue Zone. For a full hold, that would also be too heavy and potentially unstable to carry - since Tiberium is explosive, it might be volatile in the state it's harvested in until it's refined. The Rigs are as stated by a comment to be a utility vehicle so aren't likely to be vital for aerial transport, but that would have it's uses. I think it's down more to the fact that the Rig's build itself is little more than "cockpit". It's literally a glass box with metal bits on the bottom - put simply there's nowhere to grab it without potentially tearing off the head, which we know extends when deployed. It'd be like picking up a jar by the lid. As for Mammoths their sheer weight would definitely preclude the Ox transports from carrying them - on top of that, if ONE transport could carry one, it would take ONE lucky Rocket Militant to destroy a very powerful and very expensive GDI vehicle unit, alongside it's presumably highly-trained crew. Plus if it did get shot down, it's gonna land on *something*. And that *something* won't fare well. Also, it's likely that even if one Ox transport could lift it, it'd be far too heavy to move fast enough to evade attacks or keep up with it's escorts and other transports. The MCV can be lifted in a "cutscene" but as you can see it clips to all Hell inside the Ox, so it's very definitely been jury-rigged for the dramatic entrance. As for actual reasons, I again imagine it's far too heavy to lift safely and efficiently. That, and dropping a 3,500+ credit mobile firebase because the transport's engine failed would probably cause a little uproar. Engineers aren't cheap either. The Titan Mark II is as mentioned probably too heavy and unwieldy to carry via Ox, and likely the Steel Talons know how vulnerable they are to being shot down in flight, so forbid it. Their funds are stretched as-is. And the Juggernaut/Behemoth are simply way too heavy, expensive and unwieldy to lift. See again my "every crash is a landing" and "lift a jar by the lid" analogies. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk. Peace Through Power.

I agree that the Harvesters seem too hazardous to carry. Even empty there will be traces of tiberium inside if its been used. The last thing GDI wants is a harvester dropping somewhere and starting a new patch. Rig is not a combat vehicle since its listed function is to secure territory once its been cleared. No need to have it air transportable since its not going to be rushed into combat. Sort of like a supply truck. I won’t try to do any maths on it but even if GDI has some new armour material that is light the sheer size of that thing slung bellow one transport would be a pig to fly with. I can only think of two ways to make that thing is fly. One the ground crew wire it up to a few transports like a Jaeger from Pacific Rim and fly in some tight formation to carry it. One Rocket and you lose all the transports plus a Mammoth. Or you can try my crazy plan to make the MCV fly bellow. If you want to make an MCV airdropable if if you strip everything non essential to flight from that V-35 and that the MCV wouldn't be able to fabricate on site. I’m talking the what they did to those B-25’s during the Doolittle Raid. Pull any limiter from the engine for more power at the cost of fuel consumption. Fit the both with some JATO or RATO boosters to help with take-off. Once both are as light as possible have the MCV drive to a runway facing away from the destination. Have its upper crane slide forwards as far as it can without dropping the body. That gets you a some what flat space on top and the somewhat rounded end facing the direction of travel. Drain any fuel from the MCV to cut more weight. Now to fill the V-35 with just enough fuel to hover and land on top of the MCV. Weld on some attachment points and clamp it. Give the V-35 enough fuel for a rolling take off and no more. Have the MCV put its wheels into neutral and pray. The V-35 has to reach a high enough speed it can overcome the MCV’s mass and drag to the point it can take off. If it can go fast enough and just lift off it can use the ground effect to pull it off. You need to keep performing mid air refuelling the whole way since its going to burn fuel. Once its near the drop point aim for a highway or large flat area. Let the MCV’s wheels make contact and have them signal to release. Pop the clamps the moment you hear its down and then RTB. Once you land write off the V-35. I don’t know what process GDI uses to say don’t use it but I’m saying don’t use it. Ever. This whole plan relies on every trick I can think of to pull it off. But it still poses a massive risk to both transport and MCV. Probably why no one wants to do it in universe. Gameplay wise having the MCV do some crazy airdrop would be cool but making the animation for one mission would be a waste.

You actually can't physically put such thin and flat wings on a plane that big. A heavy planes demands thicker wings to bear the load and flatter wings produce less lift so demand a higher angle of attack but do grant more maneuverability and less drag which is why you often see them on fighter planes. The C130 is meant to operate from forward air bases and to possibly dodge AA fire or use it's flares to distract them before escaping.

Fun Fact. Both dropship and Kodiak are in fact Orcas. Full name of dropship is Orca Dropship. And Kodiak was a name of most known OCV - Orca Command Vehicle.

For whatever reason, the mobile construction base had appropriate mounting points which enabled it be carried but certain large vehicles did not.

Helicopters make sense as they'd have an easier time taking off and setting down at a moment's notice.

I love the firehawks

It could be there would be a special heavy lift variant of the ox transport that would be required to transport heavier vehicles like the mammoth or MCV, but that isn't reflected in the game

Think the issue with the Ox being able to airlift a ConYard but not a Mammoth or Titan or anything else is more because of the mass - i.e. the ConYard, unlike frontline units, doesn't really have that much armor and may not be as heavy.

The OX could lift heavy vehicles, just not in Field conditions, it took a lot of time and expert labor to prep them for transport plus specialist equipment only available in more permanent facilities.

While I have always been a loyal follower of Nod, I do admit I like GDI's air force.

At around 5min mark there is a combat between the F-22 and an unknown fighter jet. I always thought and still do that it was not the Brotherhood's Raptor but the GDI's. The author of this video bases it's assumption on the next appearance of this mysterious fighter in the view of the Nod's SAM site being shot down by it, but if you look closely, the first mystery aircraft is quite different from the one shot down by the SAM. So...it doesn't necesserily mean that the first one is the GDI's fighter, and it seems that the second one is completely different aircraft.

Maybe the ox just cant lift the titan, mammoth, juggernaut, rig and harvester due to them being awkward to carry and/or unload or not designed to be carried while the mcv was designed to be moved by ox to help in the mobile part of the mcv's name while gdi didnt see a use for having the others be able to be moved by the ox, for me this makes sense due to the titan and juggernaut being large two legged mechs, the harvester isnt really needed to be moved by a ox due to it refineries not being to far from tiberium fields, the rig idk probably just not designed or awkard to carry but this js me trying to give a reason for them not to be carried and im sorry if this is a mess of a paragraph.

Heck yeah

You are epic

Lets goooo

To be fair to the in-game representation of the A-10. Real world A-10s get most of their tank kills through missiles anyway, rarely using their guns. The guns could barely get a penetration on the top armor of a M48 Patton tank from the 1950s anyway.

Hey Can you make a video about infantry? Like a frew curiosities, database entries and such? For GDI, NOD and the Forgotten?
