Editing Ace Pilot (section)

==Strategy==
*Place this tower where it can be used to its full potential. This primarily involves placing it at turns.
**Placing it on a straight path is not recommended, as it will not shoot as often.
**As the '''Ace Pilot''' flies clockwise, placing it so it covers a counterclockwise path turn will mean it has a greater chance of attacking an enemy.
***The first roundabout on [[Wrecked Battlefield]] is a good example of this.
***You can also place it on a clockwise path and use the ''Toggle Reverse'' ability to make it fly counterclockwise, having the same effect.
*When changing flight paths, the '''Ace Pilot''' will complete the previous flight path first before switching to the new flight path.
*The [[DJ Booth]] can significantly increase its attack radius.
**However, the [[DJ Booth]] does not increase the '''Ace Pilot's''' flying radius.
*Try not to focus solely on '''Ace Pilots'''.
**This is because faster enemies may walk right past the '''Ace Pilot''' without being damaged. If you want reliable defense, then a [[Minigunner]] or [[Cowboy]] could be a more reliable option.
*The [[Commander]] cannot decrease the firerate of the bombs. However, it can decrease the firerate of the guns.
*Unlike the [[Pursuit]], the '''Ace Pilot''' does not stop to hover over an area whenever an enemy enters its range.
**This means that the '''Ace Pilot''' is unlikely to be attacking all the time, reducing the effectiveness of the tower.
*In [[Hardcore Mode|Hardcore]] mode, the '''Ace Pilot''' can be used as an effective way to deal with flying, lead and enemies with [[defense]] that appear early on during the game, such as the [[Lead]], [[Hefty]] and [[Balloon]].
*The bombs that the '''Ace Pilot''' drops are a good way to clear out hordes of weaker enemies, like the [[Abnormal]] or [[Slow]], while also dealing additional damage to higher health enemies, like the [[Abnormal Boss]].
**The '''Ace Pilot's''' bombs completely ignore [[defense]], dealing full damage to enemies with defense. Because of this, it can be useful against hordes of enemies with defense that appear early on during the game, like [[Heavy|Heavies]], [[Abnormal Boss]]es or [[Hefty|Hefties]].
**While the bomb is aimed directly at the target, it may miss the enemy as it takes a little while for the bomb to land.
***At Level 5, the missile has a faster projectile speed, so is less likely to miss the enemy's intended target.
*At Level 4+, the '''Ace Pilot''' gives nearby towers hidden detection for towers that do not have it, such as the [[Ranger]].
**Towers are only granted hidden detection if they are within the radius of the runway, which is quite small.
***This radius cannot be increased by the [[DJ Booth]].
