Overview
The Cobra Attack Helicopter hovers over any terrain and fires guided anti-tank missiles. It is available from the basic Airbase, which makes it the earliest hard counter to enemy armor.
How to use
Cobras fly over cliffs, forests and water that tanks must drive around, so they arrive first and strike from an angle the enemy did not fortify. Hunt Battle Tanks, Mammoths and artillery; avoid light vehicles, which are poor targets and often escort flak. Retreat the instant a Flak Track or SAM appears: helicopters die fast to dedicated anti-air.
Counters
Flak Tracks, SAM Launchers, AA Turrets, Fighters and Frigates. It counters Battle Tanks, Heavy Tanks and tank destroyers.
