The MiG direct engagement aircraft is the backbone of the Chinese air forces. Four MiGs attacking the same spot can create a powerful firestorm which does good damage against anything on the ground. The Black Napalm upgrade increases the damage it does, and makes groups of three MiGs able to create a firestorm. MiG Armor increases the damage it can take and the Afterburners upgrade increases its speed and gives MiGs a chance to evade incoming missiles.

Armed with four EMP bombs, the MiG Bomber can put a serious hurt on enemies on the ground. The bombs do light damage against vehicles and buildings, but kill infantry quickly and leave a long-lasting EMP field that is sufficient to knock out enemy vehicles and buildings for a considerable amount of time. Your other units can then destroy the targets without fear of retaliation. Though powerful, the MiG Bomber is very vulnerable to anti-air fire and should strictly be used on targets that can't defend themselves against the bomber. Being a bomber, it can't hit aerial targets. MiG Armor increases the damage the bomber can take.

• Strong Against: Infantry, Buildings, Tanks
• Weak Against: Anti-Air Vehicles, Missile Armed Infantry, Aircraft

Bombard

The bomber drops its bombs at the designated location, carpet bomb style.

• Cost: 1500
• Built at: Airfield
• Requires: -

A massive transport helicopter fitted with a small machine gun to defend itself against infantry. The Helix can be used to transport infantry as well as tanks over long distances. It can also be fitted with upgrades; a Bunker, which adds fireports for five infantry to fire out of, a Gattling Cannon, or a Propaganda Tower. In addition to one of these three upgrades, each Helix can be equipped with napalm bombs which cause a firestorm on impact. The Helix' armor is boosted by the Helicopter Armor upgrade, as well.

• Strong Against: Infantry, Light Vehicles, Tanks, Buildings
• Weak Against: Anti-Air Vehicles, Missile Armed Infatry, Aircraft

Battle Bunker

• Cost: 400

The Helix' cargo bay is transformed into a bunker with fireports through which five infantry units can fire on enemy ground targets in range at any time. Tank Hunters can also fire on enemy air units.

Gattling Cannon

• Cost: 900

A remote controlled Gattling Cannon is installed onto the Helix to use against ground targets only. It is very efficient against infantry and in groups, it is also powerful against vehicles and buildings. The Gattling Cannon profits from the Chain Guns Upgrade.

Propaganda Tower

• Cost: 500

Installs a Speaker Tower on the Helix. It heals the Helix and surrounding friendly units by constantly shouting propaganda. This effect can be enhanced with the Subliminal Messaging upgrade.

Napalm Bomb

• Cost: 800

Fits the Helix with a large napalm bomb which causes a firestorm on impact. Its damage can be increased with the Black Napalm upgrade.

Drop Napalm Bomb

• Requires: Napalm Bomb upgrade

The Helix drops a napalm bomb into the designated area. Unless ordered to do something else, it will keep bombing the same spot with napalm bombs. The Helix doesn't fire its Gattling Cannon while dropping the bomb (it will use its standard machine gun, though).

• Cost: 1500
• Built at: Airfield
• Requires: Propaganda Center

A modern, light helicopter fitted with a high-caliber machine gun, two air-to-ground grenade launchers, air-to-air missiles and EMP-resistant armor. The Tiger is extremely versatile because of all this, but has thin armor. This can be augmented with the Helicopter Armor upgrade.

• Strong Against: Infantry, Light Vehicles, Tanks, Helicopters
• Weak Against: Anti-Air Vehicles, Missile Armed Infantry, Aircraft

Bombard

The Tiger fires its grenade launchers at the designated location.
