Additional Facts

 * The Raptor is one of the Original WC Units.
 * The Raptor received a /Schematic/ in the Workshop in Game Update: March 27th, 2014.
 * The Raptor received the ability to be upgraded to Veteran Level 5 in Game Update: April 1st, 2014.
 * The Raptor is 1 0f 5 Strafing Attack style Aircraft. The others are: Wing Drones, Slayer Drone, Thunderbolt and Kondor.
 * The Raptor is by far the fastest moving of all units in the Game.
 * Due to its Speed the Raptor can avoid Flak Firing Defenses. This makes Flak Tank and Flak Turret virtually useless against the Raptor.
 * However the Raptor is vulnerable to Gun turrets so when you use it you need to take them down before to send your raptors.
 * The Raptor is commonly used for Limited Pass Surgical Strikes against targets Like Power Plants or Flak Tanks that are located out of reach of other Aircraft.
 * The Raptor has the longest Range ( 500 ) of any Aircraft in the game.  Due to its Strafing Attack style which in most cases take it directly over the Base Defenses, it cannot use this range to avoid defenses completely, as can Hover Aircraft such as the Cobra, Warhawk or Hellstorm.  However, the range helps to ensure that it fires before it can be shot down.
 * The Raptor, Level 10+, adds the Napalm Status Effect to its strikes as its Thorium Technology Advantage.
 * All Turrets, Buildings and certain Customized Units are Immune to the Napalm Status Effect.
 * The Raptor's 200 Space Requirement precludes it from being added to an Airfield containing 5 Hellstorms forcing the Player to use Thunderbolts instead.
 * A Level 10 Airfield can hold up to 7 Raptors.
 * Unlocking of the Raptor is required prior to several other Aircraft being Unlocked, These include the Hellstorm, Halcyon, Havoc, Kondor and the Spectre.
 * For those who do not know a raptor fires 2 explosive high radius rockets in the update they fire 3 explosive rockets.
