The Harpy was an advanced version of the original AH-64 Apache used by Nod in the First Tiberium War, developed to replace the old gunships as they grew older and became inferior to new Orca Fighters. The Harpy featured a much more aerodynamic design, powerful rotors and an integrated chaingun cannon in its forward section.
It was mainly a scout, used to patrol areas or evacuate important personnel (the gunner wasn't an integral part of the crew). It was also the bane of infantry, as its chaingun cannon could easily slaughter advancing infantrymen.
Unlike the Apache before it, it could not carry rockets nor missiles. However it had two 30mm chain guns as opposed to one on the Apache, giving it twice the firepower. They were no match for Hover MRLs or Mammoth Mk IIs, however. Venom fighters rendered the Harpy obsolete.
