The Air-Force general needed a super unit, one that would use his unique fan technology and improve upon it significantly. And so the Aeolus super tank was created to fill this role.
Sporting two absolutely massive airplane turbines scrapped from jumbo jets, the Aeolus uses their combined thrust to propel enemy units skyward further than ever before. The winds produced by the turbines can even reach hurricane-level forces, tearing down buildings and base defenses in its way.
Special Ability:
The unique feature of the Aeolus is its Hurricane mode. In this mode, the Aeolus creates a 180 degree "wall" of wind in front of it, which pushes away enemy units, and still can damage structures and base defenses. It can even prevent enemy units from moving into attack range of the Aeolus. A new strategy might be to lay down a wall of wind, and then have artillery units attack safely from behind the wall.
As with all super units, the Aeolus costs $3000 and requires a Strategy Center to be constructed.
Credit goes to Camille for his original Hivestorm MLRS model, which was used as the chassis for the Aeolus.
This is actually a re-make of the Aeolus supertank I posted a while back, but never officially released. You can see a render of the original model below:
