The Hunchback can be considered a combination of the Hellion and Hind in terms of usefulness, and costs less than either of those. It combines the heavy autocannon of the Hellion (effective against infantry and light vehicles) with a larger size and transport capabilities typical of the Hind, except it is able to transport up to eight infantry instead of six, making for even more dangerous raids. Additionally, the Hunchback may also release thermobaric bombs which will ignite the ground below, devastating infantry and light vehicles and creating roadblocks for enemy incursions that lack AA units. The Hunchback has decent armor for its price, and is able to survive Protector missiles long enough to deploy infantry on a poorly defended enemy base.
The Hunchback, unlike the Hind, lacks any form of air defense whatsoever and can easily fall prey to Harriers and groups of Vipers. The autocannon is also not adept at taking out armored vehicles and tanks, and approaching an Overlord with AA capabilities means certain death. The armor is not bad for an helicopter of its class, but it won't survive exposure to Twin Fangs or even small groups of Avengers.
