The Thunder is a strike aircraft from the Heliport. It attacks ground targets only, flies over obstacles, and is especially effective on large maps. It needs Hawk support against enemy aircraft.
A build is the order in which you construct buildings and produce units. Below are two early air-attack openings based on Thunders.
Produce two Workers.
Build a Barracks as soon as you have 12 ore.
Build a Factory when you have 16 ore.
Once the Factory is complete, build a Reactor at your own base.
Build a Heliport at the opponent’s base where they will not notice it.
Produce a Thunder and attack the opponent’s economy. If the opponent builds a Heliport in time, produce a Hawk second.
Produce two Workers. As soon as you have 12 ore, build a Barracks.
While the Barracks is under construction, save another 10 ore and use the second Worker to build a Reactor.
Once the Barracks is complete, start building a Gate and produce two more Workers.
Save 16 ore and build a Factory.
Once the Factory is complete, build two Heliports and a second Reactor.
Use a Hawk to scout the opponent’s composition. If they have a Heliport, add two or three more Hawks. Otherwise, produce Thunders and establish air superiority.Chevrons are curved stripes shown above the unit. They have three levels:
To earn one chevron, the Thunder must deal a certain amount of damage to enemy units.
Each upgrade adds 10% of base damage or health to Heliport units. The cost rises in sequence: 10, 20, and 30 ore.

An air army is built around a large number of Thunders protected by Hawks. The tactic is especially effective on large maps.
The main counters are superior Hawk numbers or a ground composition of Peacemakers, Titans, and Waves.
On large and medium maps, a mixed army often consists of Lynxes, Hawks, and Thunders. On small maps, Lynxes are more often replaced with heavier ground units: Tanks, Waves, Titans, Devastators, and Peacemakers.
In a mirror composition, the advantage goes to the player who adds more units that counter the opponent’s specific army in time.
If the opponent has a Heliport, Thunders almost always need Hawk support.
Air units can land and take off again. Landing and takeoff each take 2 seconds. During the transition, the unit cannot move or carry out other commands.
Landing requires a free space on the ground. Once the landing is complete, the air unit becomes a ground unit, cannot move, and has its view range halved. The Thunder and Hawk also stop attacking.After takeoff, the unit can move again and regains its full view range. The Thunder and Hawk can attack again. Take off in advance: during the two-second transition, the aircraft cannot defend itself.Thunder view range after landing: 11 → 5.
