Best airfighter/chopper

Aurora was a secret project that leaked, simple.

Orca Fighters/Bombers just rule!!!!!

I voted for the Helix, China's multipurpose helicopter.You can use it as a heavy transprt.It also can be upgraded to drop napalm bombs and can be upgraded with a propaganda speaker ,to heal units, a bunker ,to allow your infantry to fire out of it, or a gattling cannon , to mow down enemy infantry.

Thats true. They can take a whole lot of damage before going down. I destroyed an enitre base with 4 of them: 2 with bunkers of RPGs, 1 gattling, 1 speaker tower. And i was nuke general so they dropped nuke bombs. There were 5 quads firing at them and the helixes destroyed them all without any problem or losses. they're viscious if mini gunners are bunkered in them

but 1 shot from an EMP patriot and they're dead

[Thierry 0]

Not true, this is actually a common mistake, its also in the INI's.

Only if the EMP effect hits the plane, will it be a oneshot kill. But often, the EMP missile only hits the back of the plane and the EMP effect radius isn't big enough.

[J-Fire_Man 0]

Yup, the missiles are too slow to hit fast aircrafts like king raptor and aurora. Migs are slow enough, so you can hit 'em easily.

Choppers are sitting ducks

[J-Fire_Man 0]

:lol: Yeah, but they can be deadly. Like Helix with bunker upgrade filled with Tank Hunter. They can destroy emperor tank in secons.

And then get shot down by quad or avenger

[GeneralZ 0]

not so sure about quads .Helixes can take a lot before going down. I think a helix can take out a quad. But i always send groups: 1 with speaker, 1 with gattling, and 2 with bunker of tank hunters

raptors from an aircraft carrier are the best. free repair and rebuild, and large numbers. Kills everything. I've got <Newtechmodr2> by Chris T Hill, so i can build aricraft carriers.

Auroras, hands down.

 

The only way to shoot them down is after they drop the payload. There are minor exceptions. Besides when they're on the runway, of course, when they're not supersonic.

 

One tip when using auroras:

 

It's been proven time and time again that an aurora not flying at supersonic can be shot down. But did you know that lasers are that good? Doesn't make sense? Send two auroras against a laser base. More likely than not the second one will get shot down before it can get past the laser turrets.

 

The only way an aurora can dodge laser turrets is when it's at its maximum speed. Significance of the idea? NEVER send auroras against a laser base in pairs, because the second one is trailing behind the first and, although supersonic, hasn't reached its maximum speed.

 

Tried it when I challenged Townes. Had I known the concept then, I would've blown his particle cannons to bits before he could even fire them.

 

And people wonder why I love using Townes. His lasers are the only things that can shoot down an aurora gone sonic. Try that trick with any other defensive system and you're bound to be disappointed.

I use auroras for to explore. I make an aurora force-fire on a place on the opposite side of the map, it flies there at supersonic speeds. Before it drops the bomb, i have it attack another location across that one so its traveling at max speed over the entire map, revealing it. I do it to every dark spot and so I can see the entire map.

Nice OOONNNEEE GeneralZ!!!!!

[TownesAdvocate 0]

Hmm... never thought of that... Now I have something new I can do with Auroras besides getting them killed after a bombing!

[carage 0]

I voted for the helix, especially one loaded with infantry general's chaingun redguards. That is even scarier than a column of Emperor Tanks.

Also, waypointing almost always helps my Auroras avoid certain death when attacking but some guys comer up all possible etrances including aircraft entrances. That one really is annoying!!!!!
