Strategy

IFR is an expensive upgrade that only adds camo detection. The only extra benefit is the Bigger Jets upgrade.

As a crosspath, IFR is mostly used in challenges where the innate camo detection is necessary, as most game modes enable towers that decamo bloons or grant external camo detection. An exception is MOAB Shove, as this usually saves more money to shove DDTs.

Update history

Icon of "the greatest challenge" This article or section uses Cargo to generate its content. It will automatically fill up as other articles are completed.

  • Neutral Lock in Place and Patrol Points no longer immediately prompt to choose target positions and instead have default positions
  • Neutral After changing targeting off of Lock in Place or Patrol Points, changing back returns the target(s) to how it was previously
  • "Heli Pilots should no longer cause save files to not load sometimes" (bug fix)
  • Nerf Overall cost increased by $100 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
0-2-4, 0-2-5
  • Buff Bigger Jets now applies to mini Comanches
Heli Pilot manages on pursuit far too easily without any need to consider Bigger Jets unless camo or downdraft is required. For more crosspath variety than just ‘camo’ we moved more of the base Heli speed out and back into Bigger Jets with an overall buff to Bigger Jets. This should allow Bigger Jets to scale a little better than other helis through early speed ramping.
— Update notes
  • Buff Movement speed increased ― 67.5 → 70
A little more buffing of underused crosspath
