This light reconnaissance and attack helicopter is powerful against ground units while being exceedingly energy efficient, making it less expensive to produce than most other air units. The tradeoff is lower speed and lighter weapons and shielding. Although its air-to-ground rockets are not guided, its armor-piercing shellheads make the Wasp a significant threat against enemy ground tanks. Its high maneuverability makes it ideal for reconnaissance and attack over difficult mountainous terrain. The Wasp is available early in the campaign as a technology upgrade.
