The Cybran T3 Strategic Bomber, nicknamed the Revenant, is a Cybran unit. It is also a stealth unit.

“The Revenant's proton bomb does considerable initial damage that radiates outward. Additionally, the Revenant features a rear-mounted Flak Cannon and an onboard stealth field.”
—Revenant Vanilla SupCom description

It drops a single, extremely devastating warhead upon each attack run. It also possesses stealth, hiding it from all radar except Omni.

Factional Differences

Like all T3 Cybran air units (with the exception of the Wailer), it can turn on its stealth ability to hide from enemy radar, making it much more useful against AA-heavy enemy installations, which usually rely on radar targeting.

The Revenant is the most capable of the three faction strategic bombers in taking out large groups of enemy units, making it a very capable tool for dealing with a massed offensive force incoming to the Cybran Commander, with both its stealth ability and damage radius.

The Revenant also features limited AA capabilities, but can at best deal with lone interceptors or small groups of interceptors. Escorting Revenants with T3 air-superiority fighters is highly advised when performing bombing runs.

Players sometimes employ a strategy of bombing T2 mass extractors with their strategic bombers. However, the Revenant is incapable of doing so in a single shot, so it might be a good idea to escort it with lesser bombers if you wish to attack lone mass extractors, as these bombers will help to finish the job and leave your Revenant less vulnerable by not forcing it to take a second pass at its target and to prevent overkill. However, it has stealth, so two bombers paired together can kill lone mass extractors, and by the time the opponent realizes their mass extractor is destroyed, the bombers are somewhere else, and can strike other targets.
