Description
- Available at Rank 1 if the player chooses to select its general upgrade.
- Can engage all targets by choosing a fitting armament set.
- Most effective against infantry.
- Can be taken down easily by Fighters, SAMs and Anti-Air soldiers.
- Very useful stealth detector even in the late of game.
Usage
- When built, you can choose from 3 weapon kits: FFAR Rockets, 2x Minigun or 2x AA missiles.
- It isn't as useful against tanks, as it only carries few unguided rockets and not Anti-Tank missiles.
- Can engage aircraft and helicopters with its two AIM-9M Sidewinder missiles.
- It is recommended that you use it against to support your infantry as it can detect stealthed units.
- It can be taken down easily, so make sure that you support it.
- You can use it to scout the map due to its speed and mobility, but don't get too close to the enemy base.
- Keep one or two in your base, to easily get rid of enemy SpecOps and air drops.
Against Infantry
Can wreak havoc on infantry units, especially if clustered together. Minigun deals with individual targets while the unguided rockets for grouped up infantry units.
Against Tanks
You can engage most tanks with it, but it takes a lot of time to destroy them with it as its salvos are short. Its rocket pods are still quite useful to light vehicles, though.
Against Buildings
Can only attack buildings with its rockets. Although the damage is reasonable, it's not very efficient to get rid of structures because it has very limited payload.
Against Aircraft
Only helicopter in CWC that can engage other air units. Use its AIM-9 Sidewinders to shoot down other helicopters. It is unlikely that you'll do critical damage against fighter jets but still effective in engaging them.
How to defend against
- The AH-6 Little Bird can engage any type of ground targets, so it's always better to engage it with your fighters.
- It can deal damage to your Anti-Air infantry but it can't do much against Anti-Air vehicles, so use them against it.
- Long-range Anti-Air vehicles like the SA-11 Gadfly can deal with it easily.
- The Anti-Air Soldier can take it out with two missiles, so garrison towns and village to protect yourself from its attacks.
