This page is about GDI's hovercraft. See Hovercraft (Nod) for Nod's hovercraft.
In order to facilitate deployment of their forces in theatres of war, GDI extensively utilized hovercrafts. It is an amphibious vehicle or craft, designed to travel over land or water, supported by a cushion of slowly moving, low-pressure air, ejected downwards against the surface close below it and uses large, powerful propellers to skim over water and land with ease.
In the First Tiberium War the LCAC hovercraft (shown in the photo) was the most popular choice when deploying ordnance and men and was capable of delivering MCVs and even Mammoth tanks to shores to enter combat.
Following a period of inactivity during the Second Tiberium War and were replaced with Hover MLRS and amphibious APCs, the hovercrafts once again saw extensive use in the Third Tiberium War, as a heavily armored rapid deployment craft, which played an important role in the war against the Brotherhood of Nod, even transporting Mammoth 27 tanks, for example, during the GDI attack on Alexandria.
