Chopper Strike

Chopper Strike is one of the several different types of research items. This research item costs 6 BP.
__TOC__
== Description ==
* Unlocks helicoper airstrikes
* Aistrikes cost ammo
* Ammo cost decreases as you wait
This research deploys a helicopter to assail a target, commencing with anti-infantry missile strikes before transitioning to anti-building minigun fire. Chopper strikes necessitate 10 ammo initially, which gradually diminishes by 1 every 5 seconds until it becomes free. Full ammo availability enables two simultaneous strikes, while Ammo Supply combined with full ammo permits three concurrent strikes.
While towers succumb to a single strike and bulwarks require three, hives typically survive three strikes albeit severely weakened. Guardian Nests, notably, persist after three strikes.
== Usage ==
Chopper Strike research fulfills dual purposes:
Firstly, it serves to eliminate threats around the map, such as towers near BP crates or bulwarks.
Secondly, it facilitates pre-assault preparation on hives, weakening their defenses before a direct attack. For instance, in cases of adjacent hives with significant shooter towers, employing chopper strikes to neutralize towers around one hive can expedite its destruction. This can be followed by an offensive approach, employing officer inspiration to dismantle the remaining hives effectively.
It's important to acknowledge that dismantling and reconstructing the Chopper Strike structure does not reset ammo cost, and the ammo reduction does not occur during the building's destruction phase.
