Thank Goldair1 for the first 3 pics by letting me use his dog to get pictures of the raptors.

Fun Facts
The Raptor is a stealth air superiority fighter in real life, which means it's primary role is actually making the sky clear. It was upgraded during January 2001, it now has the ability to carry JDAM (Joint Direct Attack Munition,or simply say 'guided bombs') enhancing it's ground attack effect.

The raptor is rarely used in game due to its high cost and space. However, it's actually one of the most highly specialized air units in the game. Its only strength is in damaging anti-air units such as gatling trucks and hercules. Raptors beat the snot out humvees because they blow past them before they can get much damage into them. Another reason this specialty is often overlooked is because nobody bothers to upgrade them. It is important to note if you use the raptor that it is NOT an upgraded thunderbolt. It is more like a wing drone on some serious steriods. Its strength is high health units like tanks and hercules. With the addition of warhawks however they are losing usefulness since warhawks can put a hurtin on hercules and vehicles. But gatling trucks still pose a serious threat to a warhawk.

Raptors are good for attacking and sniping anti air and turrets due to their fast speed, thus giving more time to escape.

Raptors are the fastest units in the game.
