The Attack Helicopter is the fast unit of the Contemporary Era. They are trained in an Attack Helicopter Base.

They have the highest attack, defense and movement in the Contemporary Era and moderate bonuses against light units. It is also the first unit with the special ability Flying, so it cannot be attacked by artillery units and ignores all terrains (even water) when moving, effectively resulting in every movement cost 3.

Compared to its predecessor, IFV, the attack helicopter gains 45 attack and 35 defense points but loses its bonus against artillery and on plains in compensation for its flying ability

Usage[]

The Attack Helicopter is very popular in general due to their flying ability. They are able to hit from the other side of the battlefield regardless of terrain and are practically invincible when fighting against waves of artillery units (unless they have the Power Shot ability).

Against Same Age Units[]

Artillery Unit Missile Artillery[]

The Attack Helicopter is literally invincible against the Missile Artillery, owing to the fact that the Artillery cannot hit them. If you are using a full attack helicopter army, it is best to kill all other units first before targeting the artillery.

Heavy Unit Assault Tank[]

The Attack Helicopter is weak against the Assault Tank, but the reduced bonuses the Assault Tanks have against fast units and the general high stats of the Attack Helicopter means that the Attack Helicopter can make a decent stand against them. The Reactive Armor ability of the Assault Tank may limit the effectiveness the Attack Helicopter has against them however.

Light Unit Strike Team[]

The Attack Helicopter’s bonuses against light units make them stronger when fighting the strike team. Even if the Strike Team hides in woods, the Attack Helicopter will always have sufficient movement to reach them and deal a lot of damage without suffering too much damage back.

Ranged Unit Anti-Aircraft Vehicle[]

Hence the name, the Anti-Aircraft Vehicle is the biggest threat to the Attack Helicopter, with its combined bonus and retaliation, the Attack Helicopter stands no chance against the Anti-Aircraft Vehicle.
