You should also remember, that cryocopter can be upgraded by advanced technologies and aeronotics and Chopper VX by a Missle upgrade, whereas Twinblades remain as they are

[@pavelhristov1999]

You can "upgrade" them with "Mass Production" in a way, allowing you to have more of them for less cash.

[@no3ironman11100]

Twinblades also hit every 8 seconds, but you can unload all your rockets in one second then leave. A few can burst down an out of position tank and run off, something cryocopters would take some damage for trying to do.

[@HalalSaulGoodman]

@@pavelhristov1999 VX/Cryo can have these upgrades as their first protocol and Twinblades have to wait for 5 protocol points, which is impractical in multiplayer. And most Soviet players choose the orbital drop lane, not the mass production lane which has the useless desolator airstrike.

This is not even a downside due to hidden Allie mechanics which let almost all of their units to have almost pin-point accurate aim on shrunken targets. Twinblades can't even dream to engage Bullfrogs/area contested by Apolo, be it as a sacrificial goat for strategic forced trade.

[@арсенийменьшов-ь2е]

One of the main advantages of twinblades is that they are the most independent. All three helicopters need the help of interceptor fighters, but VX helicopters also need help in the fight against air defense infantry, cryocopters generally need the help of at least someone so that they don’t freeze the enemy in vain, and the twinblades will calmly cope with most threats on their own, although with air defense guns they have some difficulties. How about comparing as much as possible the infantry of the second tier (Tesla trooper, spy, shinobi)?

[@llSuperSnivyll]

It's not that much of a problem for VXs as the interceptor unit is also the anti-infantry unit.

[@anichijosephdimo6576]

VX is the most independent because it can fight both air and land.... Twinblade is not independent because it can't fight air units.

[@AQHackAQ]

How is twinblades the most independent? It can't fight air units. VX can fight land and air with relatively short cooldown to switch.

[@арсенийменьшов-ь2е]

@@AQHackAQ For them, air defense infantry is not such a problem, and they stay under fire much longer, moreover, in order for VX to fight aircraft, it needs to land, but what if the map is naval or enemy troops are waiting on the ground?

[@tengisulziisaikhan5421]

I'd say Twinblade is best for Mass production perk. Because 5 Twinblade can easily destroy buildings as well as other heavily armored units such as tier 3 tanks. Also Twinblades are effective against both infantry and armored units since it fires both bullets and rockets. VX kinda looses against AA units like Flack troopers or Javilin Soldiers. Also VX are easy to get flanked. You can harass VX on both air and ground. Since it's rockets are not effective against units and fast moving targets like dogs or Terror drones. Also VX is tier 2 so requires extra upgrade to produce. Cryocopter is defenseless units means anyone can harass. Both VX and Cryocopters require defending unit to get into action while Twinblades usually comes to do the assault in certain fights. Twinblades are awesome to do rushes or suicide runs to destroy certain buildings or if it comes to defense. Only threats they face in action is MiG, Apollo and Mecha-Tangos. When they are in mass they can be quiet unstoppable.

[@joshuacabral2348]

Striker VX is always good vs Armor and Buildings and fares terribly vs infantry. Twinblades are like all purpose damage dealing support aircraft. It can fare well on its own. Good vs all to be honest and I like spamming this unit a lot. Now Crycopters The most broken unit in RA3. Theyre maybe just support units but their value scales way far than many ordinary player thinks. Like Shrinking the Apocalypse Tank and can be crushed by normal tanks. Or Shrinking a King Oni on a Bull Charge, the King Oni will die if it hits a building or a large vehicle. Or Shrinking a Riptide with Tanya and Engineers to quickly destroy or disable a base?! How about Freezing your units and buildings and theyre all 1 hit K.O.? Nah its " BALANCED"!! What else?! Its limitless!!

[@hiyoritokisada594]

Cryocopter needs a lot of skills to use effectively. They are like those boss characters in fighting games. They are ridiculously hard to use but murders everyone in the hands of a master.

[@dragonstormx]

Cryocopter: Has the most HP and is the most expensive. It can't kill units on its own so it does require more skill to use properly than the other two. Use correctly it is deadly since its freezing takes effect very quickly. Its SHRINK beam can allow easier kills since shrunken units take less time to freeze. VX: Has the most anti-tank firepower on its own, though it's also the slowest. Since it can transform it can go to Striker Mode to avoid AA air units. That said, Strike Mode makes it the worst AA unit since it can't fire while moving away from its target while also costing and being higher on the tech tree than the IFV and Bullfrog. Twinblade: Packs weapons to deal with anything on the ground though it's rockets have a long cooldown time so it helps to mindful of when they will fire. It has a lot of utlity as raiding, anti armor, and as a transport. In practice most players find the Cryocopter to be the most useful if you can micro it properly. As long as you have something like a Vindicator to knock out whatever they freeze then most anything they come across will die. Its SHRINK Beam renders enemies even easier to freeze while the speed boost can allow you to use Prospectors to expand into areas you wouldn't be able to otherwise. Plus it can benefit from Advanced Aeronautics and High Technology.

[@YuriYoshiosan]

Pros and Cons! Twinblades + Transport, carrying 5 infantries or 1 vehicle + Can be iron curtained when built or when dropping + Can be force landed to save them from AA units + In massive numbers, it's a hit and run base destruction machine + 3 Heroic rank Twinblades destroys everything quickly. + One of the best Soviet units. - Rockets reload way too long - The transport system is either or, Meaning that you can only lift vehicle or only carry infantries. ~ Still, the Nod Venoms are better since they can attack air units but hey, it's a different game. Cryocopter + Best allied unit. + Frozen enemies are instantly turned into a 1 shot, stunned unit + Shrink Ray can make an MCV crushable even with your harvester, or making a tank's HP low enough that a javelin can destroy a hammer tank in 2 barrages. - No self defense. - Must be accompanied by an AA army like IFVs loaded with Javelins or just IFVs alone with nothing inside them - Must bring something to destroy the frozen stuffs. VX + The only one of these that can attack air units in the Striker form + When threatened by air units, it can transform to dodge it's fire, or even kill the fighter. + Insane DPS in massive numbers with the Advanced Rocket Pods upgrade - Expensive as hell - Transformation have a long cooldown - Striker form cannot shoot while moving, unlike Bullfrogs and IFVs.

[@no3ironman11100]

Cryo is basically if you combined twinblade's anti-infantry effectiveness and 3/4 of a striker/chopper's anti-vehicle (4/3s total) damage bred together. Basically it's an average helicopter in damage output when compared to the other heli's specialty, but it's an all rounder at the cost of potentially over-freezing and it doesn't switch targets to non-frozen one on it's own (that's a lot of micro ontop of targetting frozen guys) And gave it a shrink beam that makes (vehicles only) one ennemy unit half as strong and have less range, be crushable by any vehicle. Then make it 1/3 more expensive. It's usefull as the pro scene shows, though not as OP as some think, but delayed by the tier 2 cost.
