| “For long range assault we have the Hailstorm. These artillery units bombard enemy forces with high explosive mortars, far from the battle itself.” — Barca[1] |
The Hailstorm is a Beta ground unit.
Hailstorms barrage enemy troops from behind the safety of their own front lines. Equipped with a mortar launcher, they rain down explosive shells on their targets.[2]
Background[]
The Hailstorm was actually an attempt to scale down a weapon that was considered by many to be completely unwieldy and impractical. While that weapon eventually found a use on the Hand of Ruk, the miniaturized version was popular enough among military theorists that it quickly began full-scale production. With research, Hailstorm manufacturers are confident they can mimic the Predator's swivel-mounted design.
Overview[]
As its name suggests, the Hailstorm rains death upon enemies using a mortar launcher. A powerful cannon that fires explosive shells over a vast distance allows the Hailstorm to mount attacks from the safe position behind its own front lines.
Tips[]
- Though slow and structurally weak, Hailstorms can deliver a powerful attack from a large distance.
- Hailstorms can target a specific spot on the ground, effective for clearing out brush or attacking structures that are hidden by Fog of War.
- Group your hailstorms with other units to keep them protected from close range attacks.
