Additional Facts

 * The Copter Drones may be placed in the Drone Silo.

 * A Level 10 Airfield will hold up to 40 Copter Drones.

 * Advantage: The large number of Copter Drones that can be deployed makes them a very big threat to the Flak Turret and Stinger ( both in and out of Watchtowers ) if they are spread out to form a 1/2 circle when Attacking.  This allows the damage from these defenses to be limited to relatively a few units.
 * Disadvantage: Copter Drones have a roughly 1 sec pause in firing about every 3 sec. This allows defense units to either get into range or to come to a stop and fire.
