Attack helicopters are now units you can command in Ebbtide. Meet the Apache and Viper, featuring a new Apache model and new attack options: Hydra rockets and Hellfire missiles. Apache in the first clip, Viper in the second. Move them into position, or set an orbit to circle an... area and defend it from above. How does the helicopter combat look? Early development footage. #indiedev #gamedevshow more

The AGM-114M Hellfire is a BLAST FRAG Hellfire, and they do have the M151 APKWS which is High Explosive for the rocket pods, and they also have the WDU-4/A FFAR rocket which has 2200 20 grain Flechettes. The Viper can also carry the 5 inch ZUNI rockets which have the MK63 HE-FRAG warhead which produces over 2000 preformed fragments.

Thanks for the detailed breakdown! I’m learning a lot from your comments, and I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge. I’ll look into these variants and gather some references for the helicopter weapons.

I need a pavelow with gunners dropping off a squad

A Pave Low with gunners covering a squad insertion would be awesome! We already have the Chinook, Black Hawk, and MD500 in Ebbtide, but I’ll keep the Pave Low in mind. Thanks for the suggestion!

Oh hahaha maybe not then since those pretty much already fill the role

Getting better everyday dude. Fuck. Yea. ❤️

Hell yeah, bro. Thank you. Still adding more every day, and I'll keep showing it here.

>you post. >get heart >simple as ❤️

the overhead view keeps the helicopter readable even with that huge crowd below. the orbit command sounds especially useful here. can players adjust the orbit radius? made you a little wings-themed poster for the update 🚁

I agree—being able to adjust the orbit radius would be really useful! It’s something I’d like to explore as I refine the helicopter controls. Thanks for the suggestion!

I recommend working on destruction to create road blocks destroying buildings that houses (spawn) infected.

I’d love to add building destruction too! Using rubble to block roads or taking out buildings that spawn infected could add some interesting tactical choices. Thanks for the suggestion!

You're welcome!

I love the helicopters. Are you going to implement a fuel system too, so they will need a place to rearm and refuel? Cant wait to see this on steam!

Thanks, glad you like them. Fuel and rearming are already in, so they have to come back to refuel and rearm. The Steam wishlist page is coming in October, and I'll share the link here once it's live.

I like that, i enjoy rts games that have a supply and logistics need to the chaos. Keep up thr good work man! Cant wait to play this, gonna be a day one buy for me

Why was the Apache given a Tiger shaped canopy?

Thanks for pointing that out. Yeah, it looks off to me too. I'm fixing the canopy now.

looking great

Thank you.

哇喔，这游戏看上去不错，期待

谢谢！还在做，后面也会继续在这里更新。

cant wait for this game !

Thank you. More is on the way.

Can I drop a daisy cutter

Thanks. The big area bomb in right now is an F-15 thermobaric strike. A daisy cutter would be fun.

Hello ! When we can wishlist it ?

Thanks for asking. The Steam wishlist page is coming in October. I'm adding more content, and I'll keep showing it here. I'll share the link as soon as the page is live.

Ok thanks !
