Team Yankee: American Cobra Attack Helicopter Platoon (Plastic)
The AH-1 Cobra was the U.S. Army’s first purpose-built attack helicopter, developed to provide fast, mobile fire support for ground forces during the Cold War. Armed with a chin-mounted cannon, rockets, and TOW anti-tank missiles, the Cobra proved deadly against armoured threats while maintaining the agility needed to evade enemy fire. In World War III: Team Yankee, a Cobra Platoon delivers flexible and cost-effective air support, perfect for striking enemy tanks and infantry formations.
Gameplay Experience:
In Team Yankee, the Cobra Platoon gives U.S. commanders a versatile strike option. With long-range TOW missiles, Cobras can pick off enemy armour from a distance, while rocket pods allow them to suppress infantry and lighter vehicles. Faster and lighter than the Apache, the Cobra excels at hit-and-run tactics, providing a dangerous and affordable air unit to complement American ground forces.

About the Vehicle:
The AH-1 Cobra first entered service in the late 1960s and quickly became a mainstay of U.S. Army aviation. Its narrow profile, speed, and heavy armament made it an ideal tank hunter and close-support platform. By the 1980s, upgraded versions with advanced targeting systems and TOW missiles ensured the Cobra remained a powerful asset against Warsaw Pact armour.

Adding a Cobra Attack Helicopter Platoon gives your U.S. Team Yankee force affordable yet potent air power. With its blend of missiles and rockets, the Cobra provides reliable anti-tank capability while also offering flexible support against infantry, making it a balanced choice for any American commander.
