A few words with helicopter design team

[IzEagle]

First of all thank you, it is beautiful but I want to talk about the stats and features. Ninjas and shinobis are very popular troops but they are always be doomed to overpower because they can pass through the gates and go directly to defense buildings. Now you have created a siege that even doesn’t need to turn around and find a gate to pass, it flies in direct line to target! and it takes just 8 space!! And it is immune to all defenses except tanks and infantries. Please someone explain how a tank can fire at a helicopter while a tower can’t! it was supposed to be a historic game but is gradually turning to fairy tales.

It's not immune to SAMs so i guess 1 sam can shot it down
however still powerful and i expect a nerf that I don't wish to happen cuz air units will be so weak without it in atomic age

Helicopters are not that overpowered as you describe.
They are not immune to air defense, they only outrange them if properly deployed/rallied. Sniper Towers love to take them down.
Tanks and Fusiliers upwards destroy them quickly too. They are a nice support unit which can take out defenses from range, but very vulnerable - they need support themselves.
And its really difficult to not let them go your supply cars full retard.

On the test video they appeared OP. Let's admit it.

 

[Manifesto]

Yes, I'm expecting a nerf sometime in the next update.

 

[turmaffe]

Sure, but take a second look at the base that gets attacked. Many factors that favor the survival of the choppers.
And in the end, he cant even clear the storages.

I just got a helicopter from supply drop which has different face and stats from the helicopter that I can build in my barrack (I am GA yet but I can see the upgrades). it's weaker than my helicopter ! and as I have seen in AA video there is no further upgrade for helicopter. so can someone explain different kinds of helicopters for me

 

[Quovatis]

The stats will be weaker if you get the supply drop heliocopter while in Global age. If you are Atomic age, they will be stronger.

 

[IzEagle]

It is totally a different helicopter with different shape and different color! Two different models in real world

 

[IzEagle]

CS explanation about received helicopter from supply drop:
"With regards to your concern, please be informed that there are 2 different unit. However, we currently do not have information on this troops from the supply drop. It is possible that this was a future mercenary or future barracks/factory troops. I recommend you to always keep an eye on the forums for the latest news and updates regarding this."
so Nb4powerup can you help me to discover what's going on ?

Apparently they can be donated for tc defence. Apart from cogging the tc how are very low levels in wars going to deal with them. One of my Alliance folks told me tanks did not take them down when he attacked in normal battle and he has battle tanks. He had to use aircraft. He had not deployed infantry. A lot of our warring people do not have aircraft. We are talking about new troop costing 9.25 mill food in Atomic.

Just got attacked from atomic troop: 6 heavy tank, 4 mk4 and helicopter. The new helicopter is like beast. Watched the replay, air defense did nothing even though same range +7. Defensive troops easily destroyed by fighters. Who the hell can shot the helicopter. Attackers usually got heavy damage on my Global base and this guy didnt even lost 1 troop or tactics

 

[IzEagle]

No Title

The only solution is changing the base layout and don't leave a free spot for safe helicopter drop.
By the way who will finally explain different helicopters for me??
