The Thresher is a Cabal gunship, first employed by the Red Legion, but later seen within the Imperial Cabal and Shadow Legion.
Overview[edit]
Threshers were first encountered during the Red Legion's assault on Earth and the Last City, where they would be seen dueling with Guardian Jumpships.[2] They would be employed in all the theaters of the war, and even after its end the splintered Legion and Legionless Cabal would continue to field them regularly.
Threshers are used both for strafing runs and for continuous air support. They are armed with a main cannon that fires Solar explosive rockets, and can also be used for nighttime reconnaissance thanks to their flashlight.
Gameplay[edit]
Threshers are encountered in many Cabal-related activities. After first flying in, they hover in place in the air, bombarding the players with their rockets. These can be highly lethal, especially on high difficulties. Threshers are also highly resilient, and don't offer a weak spot unlike Goliath Tanks. However, on many occasions it is not necessary to destroy a Thresher, and they can be ignored to proceed further. When they have to be destroyed, heavy ordnance like a Drake Tank is usually offered. Alternatively, explosive weapons like Rocket Launchers are preferable.
