Community:DrewsomeB/Heli-Wars: Desert Attack

Heli-Wars: Desert Attack was the 10th most popular game on Roblox, with over 11.2 million place visits and over 299,000 favorites. The game was once the most popular game on Roblox, until it was surpassed in place visits by Survive the Disasters! by TheFurryFox. It was created by DrewsomeB, and it involves a war between two military teams: Desert and Green. The starter tools that are given to you when you immediately spawn are a helicopter tool for the regular ones, a rocket, an AK-47, a sword, a jeep tool, a parachute, and a reset tool. VIPs have access to the vip room where you can get a multi rocket, and a tool for the VIP heli. There aren't more vip items at the moment. In 6/30/2011, DrewsomeB added a badge, named The Caves of Heli-Wars. It can only be obtained in the newest version of Heli-Wars. You can just go in the first rock (or last rock for green team) and find an opening. Then climb the flat rocks upstairs. Then the badge is found behind the rock to the right. A recent update also changed the terrain around. Now the bases are diagonal to each other and the battle area has been enlargened, along with larger rocks. On July 4, 2019. The game received an update for the first time in a long time. Despite that, it currently doesn't function well which resulted in a loss of popularity.

Tips

 * NEVER run forwards when firing a rocket launcher (regular or VIP multi) as you may touch the rocket and die.
 * Swords are always good to use when you're in a close battle, don't use rockets or you might blow yourself up.
 * Decoys are great to use. Drive or fly a helicopter, then jump out. Get another, then get to the other side.
 * Always have a teammate protect you if you have the flag.
 * Use jeeps against AK-47s.
 * Helicopters can do loads of damage, but make sure you evade any rockets.
 * Jeeps can be shot by a rocket and still be going sometimes.Try to shoot the front.
 * When trying to shoot a helicopter with a rocket, aim and shoot where it's  going to be , not where it already is. If you do this correctly you should hit it.
 * The pistol does more damage than the AK-47, but isn't fully automatic.
 * Fly under the map when transporting your team so foes on cars and helis won't shoot you down.
 * It is possible to hit your teammates so do not shoot a rocket if your teammate is in close range combat, because if you do and the teammate gets kill you will die as well.

Strategies

 * With a multi-rocket from the VIP room, you should be able to wipe out your enemies at their base easily by standing on the roof, where the flag is at.
 * When on a helicopter, look down at the people below you. Check if they have rockets, and if so, dodge and swerve around their bullets.
 * NEVER get close to the ground to shoot a rocketing person, when you're on a helicopter. You could get bloxxed as well in the blast radius. You can hover above them and drop a bomb on them by pressing B, which is a new update to the game.
 * Jeeps are the fastest vehicles you can use. Just watch out for bombing helicopters and rockets, and don't drive straight at a player unless you are firing the jeep's gun at the same time. Otherwise, you are a very easy target.
 * Watch out - Pay close attention to your teams helicopters. There might be an enemy person driving it to fool you.
 * Hiding in the VIP room is a great way to take cover from your enemies, but some of the most seasoned helicopter drivers might go into VIP and destroy you there.
 * Don't stand in the middle of the map. You're a very easy target when you're just walking out of your base.
 * It's not recommended for you to use the helicopter with 4 seats. People riding the seats might rocket and accidentally hit the helicopter.
 * If the other team is dominating, create a fleet. Fleets are large bands of jeeps and helicopters. When it comes to destruction, fleets are the most powerful at war.
 * If an enemy fires a rocket at you, try shooting the rocket with the AK-47 or pistol to make the rocket explode in mid-flight. Also, the AK-47 and pistol can fire through the fences around the bases.
 * While in a helicopter, NEVER attack enemies by moving straight at them for long periods of time. You will make an easy target for enemy rockets. Instead, try firing a few rockets and then quickly flee before the enemy has a chance to shoot back.
 * Another recommended tactic is to take a helicopter, fly up to high altitude, and fire it's rockets at enemies down below. You will be difficult to see and harder to be shot at when reaching higher altitudes.
