Questions and the new helicopter

[capt underpants]

Good afternoon /evening everyone
I have some questions about the tactical helicopter and its troop deployment works? Had enough crowns from the double crown offer to instantly upgrade the factory and unlock the tactial helicopter. However I have not found out how to load the unit up and deploy the troops. Also the helicopter has a cool down period that has no timer like the transport plane. Also when I tap on an area of the map it tells me to pick another target. If anyone has gotten the new update and helicopter and figured out how to load troops and deploy them I would appreciate it if you could possibly let me know

From what I've seen you just deploy it like you would any other troop. It then creates a like- droppable zone where it is that you can use to place troops wherever it is, even in the middle of a base.

New helicopter is the most overpowered unit this game ! One helicopter and 5 raiders will steal you 5000 oil in 20 seconds. I was collecting oil whole day just to lose it in less then one hour, even one guy attacked me 3 times in 20 minutes to steal me 15k oil. This is so overpowered and now four year old kid can steal tons of oil, seems like no skill needed now. Nexon you got it wrong this time !

Sams shoot at it?

 

[capt underpants]

Haven't seen Sam shoot it but sniper tower does

 

[Quovatis]

SAMs shoot at it. Had mine shot down instantly.

Angel Forever has found a great video on it

Looks like the Night witch has been replaced by another 'permanent' unit.
Just what advanced players need, right, another way to steal oil easily!

 

[Penambangliar]

The problem is raider, not tactical helicopter.
Raider combo with engineer also not fun. Lol

If your refinery is in the center and you have anti-air and SAMs covering the flight paths, it's fairly easy to defend.

I dropped 4 helicopters on your base to prove you're wrong

 

[Skilladilla]

Maybe atomic age anti air, global can't do anything as it has 5000 hp, and yes my refinery is in the centre of the map with towers around it. But from the comment above seems like you just need a couple more helicopters to deal with atomic age anti air also..so overpowered unit and no skill needed..

This is a direct result of not beta testing the stuff before they release it. Even having 50 or so active players with a dev build access only for a week or two to test things like this, would show how under/over powered a new feature is or whats wrong with it. Instead they throw it into the game, 90% of the time buggy and/or way too OP.

 

[Quovatis]

lol, well with 4, yeah, guess not. But that's a lot of time retraining and not a huge oil profit, so don't think many will do that

Good intentions, but end result gone bad horribly . Helicopter retrain time is less than 5 mins . Doesn't even take huge troop space like the HTs . Trains for a meagre 160 oil. I can train 6-8 helicopters and rest raiders. Send 2 helicopters (in case one is taken out by anti air ) then deploy 3-4 raiders in the middle of the base near refinery for a target of 5000 oil.

Loss of 160*8 oil and gain of 15k oil . What a bargain.

The whole setup can then be retrained in the time a heavy tank takes. Can easily get 150k-200k oil a day if i play for 5 mins every hour. Raid . Retrain .Repeat every hour.

The end result will be just like night witches . Nobody will keep more than 30k-40k oil ater getting frustrated. Some serious nerf required Nexon/BHG .

Again, if they actually would use active players to beta test this stuff, this troop would have never made it into the game or at the very least been much different, with less hp/ higher cost/higher train time etc.

For french with training blessing it's 1min/helicopter

 

[Radzeer]

Uhm, I have no problem with it. When I need oil, I get 60-70k in an hour with this. When starting from 50k-60k (basically noone will bother to deal with you until that amount) in 2 hours I can get oil for any oil upgrade. You too. Say thank you to NEXON for making it possible. The rules are the same for everyone... Its obviously harder now to keep higher volumes of oil for a GA player, but that could be solved by decreasing the oil cap for them.

 

[Gargantuar]

Guess it's just race to factory level 7 then . In two three weeks most atomics would have this . If there is no nerf till that time , then it will be I steal yours , you steal mine. And basically who can spend the most time on the game with frequent intervals wins. Oh sorry now even frequent intervals not reqd. Since all the requisite troops for this strategy can be trained fast under training blessing . Three tactical Helis in 1.5 mins . With TB , within 2-3 hours you can gain 150k oil .

i just don't know whether to be excited or sad about it.
