Before the Second Tiberium War started, the Orca Bomber was developed to complement the newly developed Orca Fighter in assault missions, in accordance with the new specialized units doctrine. They replaced A-10 Thunderbolts after the First Tiberium War. The payload of Hellfire missiles was replaced by a compliment of high explosive bombs and upgraded engines.
The main purpose of the craft was destroying enemy structures, as units were mobile and it would be harder to hit them. The Orca Bombers were excellent at building destruction, as three could cripple any structure of the enemy or at least significantly damage it and moderately effective as unit destroyers, infantry and deployed tanks especially.
The unit's weakness was it's lack of maneuverability because of its heavy armour and large payload. When left unprotected it was an easy target for air defenses, but its armor could protect it against a number of attacks.
There was a variant of the Bomber that operated with one large engine mounted on the inside of the tail wing.
By the Third Tiberium War, the Orca Bomber was phased out by the Firehawk fighter/bomber.
