Let's talk Helicopters

[worship01]

Hi, does anyone have good troop composition yet incorporating helicopters? It looks like army of all helicopters would kill all defensive structures but you'd be left with no way to kill town center or other structures. I'm British and I normally use about 60 rifles, 5 Howies, 3 healers, 1 tank. I'm thinking with new AA troop limit to add a couple Helicopters and go from there

That's what I'm thinking of trying out too - adding one or two to my existing troop mix (French: 4 tanks, 5 howitzers, 3 healers, and the rest as shooters), without changing the composition too much.
I don't have the helicopter yet, as the TC upgrade is still underway.
I'll be very interested in hearing from others who might have tried them out already!

Yes they are targeted by SAMs.

As far as I understood, it's a combination of the number of posts and the number of likes from others for the posts.
Perhaps, our beloved friend Nb4powerup can provide the exact details.
Cheers! I'm sure you'll have them soon too

I don't have them on offence as I'm nowhere near AA, but on Defence they seem to outrange even towers, which I find it amusing as towers have a range of 7 too. A pack of them flew over my AA gun though and went down like flies. It seems like infantry from garrisons can hit them but I find that they only deal mediocre damage to helicopters. Any more information from AA players would be very much welcomed!

 

[Nb4powerup]

_Flash_ is right

 

[Denquin]

Use some darn normal infantry

The tower sits on a 3x3 grid thats square, its range is a circle therefore the corners can be hit from range without the building being able to reach those attackers. Now that all translates into the attacker has same range as the buildings ;-]

After multiple experiments, I'm kind of settling down with the following composition (French):

3 tanks
4 helicopters
5 howitzers
2 supply trucks
The rest as shooters

Let's hear out other successful compositions too

Are helicopters a good unit for defense in WW? Trying to figure out if they are a good troop to donate or not?

 

[Mebbwebb]

they are wonderful at defense when the enemy has no planes. give them to low era players

 

[cclaerbo]

Thanks for the advice

So is the helicopter any good on high Lv world wars?

Offense or defense?

 

[Andrewdsz]

Offensive wise
