Gameplay

 * Light recon/bombing unit. Use with precision.
 * The first flying unit you can build out of the 2. It is very good at scouting and spoting for artillery
 * Despite being a weak ground attack, it is still very useful. Having a bunch you can move behind the enemy to either distract them or attack targets like artilery. or soak up sniper hits
 * They can be used to spot extractors for snipers to siphon petra from
 * Good at harassing undefended targets like heavies and exploiters
 * The osprey is capable of splash damage. Having a bunch means you can hit multiple enemies. However they are able to cause friendly fire. The weakest compared to napalm and artilery
