Attack helicopter

10 more days and i have unlocked it. Anyone use it? Seems abit too weak when watching replys on my base. Takes alot of hits to destroy defences. I know library has rotorcraft but will that make alot of difference ??

Ever since sniper towers were introduced into Dominations, attack helicopters have been fairly useless. The helis have the longest range of any unit, thus sniper towers will naturally target them first. Given their low health, they go down quickly, and we can no longer take 6 sabotage into battle to counter sniper towers. Decoys won't work well because you have to place it right at the edge of the tower's range, and as the battle moves, they decoy no longer is useful. If sniper towers were made to ignore flying units, they would be much more useful.

My 1000th post!

I recently got attack Helis. Was excited to use it but it fended off quite fast when I have slow DPS and get killed very fast by sniper tower. However, they are fun to try in multiplayer.

I think 20pct health is not enough increase through library! Can we level them up yet or its just standard attack helicopter atm?

Even with library research the attack helicopter is useless. I have tried it in several unit combinations; in the last one I tried to use it with tactical helicopter but clearly it doesn’t worth the training cost/time and troop space. Other unit combinations lead to better results with lower cost and training time. The attack helicopter is an atomic age unit and must have a special advantage for hitting maxed atomic bases but unfortunately without a major buff in hp or damage it is completely useless in attacking strong atomic bases.
