The Venom, like the Paladin, is the first aircraft to be available, without research, when the player puts in an Airfield. It does not stop to attack infantry, something which annoys many Nod commanders as Venoms will sometimes fly right into high-level AA infantry. The Venom is also similar to the Reckoner, in terms of cutting down infantry ranks, but it can fly over walls and cannot be targeted by heavier armored vehicles.
