Details on GDI's sonic-based Shatterer hover vehicle

As with its non-mobile brethren, the Sonic Emitter Defensive Turret, the GDI Shatterer was originally designed with Tiberium abatement in mind - using a modified version of the aforementioned turret to propel concentrated waves of sonic energy deep into the Tiberium Fields, operating safely from a HoverTech-derived mobile platform.

However, with Nod's devastating attack on Washington DC, GDI High Command ordered that the vehicle be re-designed as a combat vehicle. With the Sonic Emitter's bulk leaving little room for armor, the slow-moving Shatterer is something of a sitting duck. However, when deployed in unison with GDI's other, more flexible armored elements, the Shatterer is a force to be reckoned with.

GDI音波粉碎者悬浮载具的细节

就像它的非移动兄弟，音波发射防御塔一样，GDI粉碎者最初的设计目的也是清除泰矿——用改良版的上述炮塔驱动集中音波能量深入泰矿田中，在一辆悬浮移动平台上安全操作。

然而，随着Nod对华盛顿特区的毁灭性打击，GDI最高指挥部下令将该载具重新设计为战斗载具。由于音波发射器庞大的体积留给装甲的地方很少，移动缓慢的粉碎者有点像活靶子。然而，当与其他GDI单位更灵活的装甲部队协同部署时，粉碎者会是一支不可忽视的力量。
