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.

“
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.
