Strategy
It's useless as a standalone upgrade, with only slightly more projectile speed and range for the main darts and nothing more for a large cost. Its only purpose is lock into Faster Firing, the next upgrade.

| “ | 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 |
