Apache Dartship (BTD6)

==Strategy==

Apache Dartship is an expensive T4 that ~~has decent stats for its cost, and handily~~ takes down most mid-game rounds with ease ~~if the map has only~~ one active entrance per round~~. Its rockets are prone to chasing on multi-lane maps~~ due to slow ~~projectile~~ speed~~, and its machine gun has low pierce and damage, though its rotor decently handles dense groups of non-Regrow bloons if given enough time~~. Apache Dartship mostly stands out in CT Least Tiers, where it ~~is an easy~~-to-~~use T4 for completing all rounds if beating the previous rounds with~~ a buffed [[Razor Rotors (BTD6)|Razor Rotors]].

Apache Dartship is an expensive but only decent T4 that takes down most mid-game rounds with ease on maps with one active entrance per round, due to its slow flight speed. Apache Dartship mostly stands out in {{BTD6|Contested Territory}} Least Tiers, where it can be a set-and-forget after upgrading from a buffed [[Razor Rotors (BTD6)|Razor Rotors]]. In [[CHIMPS]], it only serves as a saveup to {{BTD6|Apache Prime}}, which still has the map weaknesses, but it pairs well with [[Rosalia (BTD6)|Rosalia]] as she greatly discounts it and the T5.

~~In [[CHIMPS]], Apache Dartship is only used as a stepping stone to [[Apache Prime (BTD6)|Apache Prime]], its T5. It pairs well with [[Rosalia (BTD6)|Rosalia]], as she greatly discounts it and the T5.~~

4-0-2 is preferred for optimal DPS as opposed to 4-2-0, whose flight speed boost is insufficient for multi-lane maps and [[Camo detection]] that is better bought elsewhere (outside of [[Least Tiers]] in {{BTD6|Contested Territory}}, {{BTD6|Odyssey}}s, etc).

~~Like the other top-path Helis, Apache Dartship prefers bottom crosspath's~~ 4-0-2 for ~~optimized~~ DPS~~; the innate camo detection~~ is ~~only necessary~~ for ~~challenges~~ and ~~external camo~~ detection is ~~obtained~~ elsewhere~~, and~~ [[~~Bigger Jets (~~BTD6)|~~Bigger Jets]]'~~s ~~faster flight speed is too small to matter on multi-lane maps~~.
