AH12: HC HELICOPTER

The HC HELICOPTER fighting C4-621

The AH12: HC HELICOPTER is a combat helicopter used by the Planetary Closure Administration to patrol the airspace of Rubicon 3.

It is significantly larger than an Armored Core and armed with a variety of heavy armaments including machineguns and missile launchers.

Gameplay

In ARMORED CORE VI FIRES OF RUBICON, it is a boss NPC that is fought in the climaxes of the game's first mission, "Illegal Entry" and the later mission "Survey the Uninhabited Floating City." The prologue appearance has 23875 and 2400 stability, while the later appearance has 38200AP and 3000 stability.

While intimidating at first, the AH12's greatest weakness is that it has no armaments capable of fending off attackers from anywhere else but the front of the aircraft.

Trivia

• The HC HELICOPTER seen ingame is armed with two ventral missile launchers, however the version seen in the Reveal Trailer uses a gigantic gatling gun instead.
• The helicopter fought on the Xylem uses flares to counter the player's missiles, the one in the prologue does not.
