      Well, I had my 5 L5 ASWHs by Day 26. It's now Day 42 (they're now L6). In that 2 week period I've used them in battle 3 times, and the rest of the time they've been out spotting for incoming threats. There aren't any units that I don't have, that I wish I did have at this point - or before, come to that.

    • imo biggest issue with asw heli is that while it’s as specialized as gunships/attack helis it lacks a counterpart specialized on surface vessels
      also really lacks any sort of range you’d expect from a unit meant to combat navy; doesn’t even need to be the range of npa
      but 400-500 range (take from that another 100 if you want to stay out of naval bombardment range) paired with the slow speed of helis means that 90% of asw comes down to „pray that the enemy puts his ships/subs close enough to your airfields“
      granted they do synergize pretty well with carriers, but uhm…

      TLDR: asw helis are kinda badly optimized for the role they’re supposed to fill

      @WalterChang- In that game you just described (that has reached Day 42) are you working solo or are you part of a coalition?

      I'm in a coalition of 2. It used to be 3, but the other guy spent the whole time researching and building loads of high end units, on a narrow range. Then he finally went on the attack, lost, and quit.

    • I suggest new unit for new Season:
      Elite ASW HelicopterDescription:
      Very powerful unit :D
      3.0 attack against subs (I didn't see it in my 10x speed game - not useful; but it's strong against Meta triangle )
      1.o attack against infantry (it can attack the BEST UNIT =O )
      1.0 attack against tanks (finally something useful against the meta unit) -
      1.0 against strike fighters (I will buy SC membership only because I can crush the strongest air unit :rolleyes: )
      The meaning of my life is to destroy an indestructible motorized infantry with an elite ASW helicopter :D
      I will never play CoN again if Elite ASW won't be Seasonal unit.

      looking at your post^ I am completely non plussed at what you believe the meta triangle to be that contains tanks and possibly subs (hard to tell for sure by the wording)????

      It is a description of the average CoN player and his Meta units
