A range means the last unit is a coin flip rather than a guarantee: half the recipe rarely divides evenly, and the recycler rolls for the remainder.

Attack Helicopter has 850 health and ignores -200% of explosion damage.

Cheapest way in

9 x 12 Gauge Incendiary Shell for 180 sulfur. No mix of tools beats it.

Cheapest explosive on its own: 3 x High Velocity Rocket for 600 sulfur, about 13s. That is what most raids actually run, because sulfur is not the only cost.

A attack helicopter has no soft side, so these are its only numbers. Times are exact for melee and for anything fired: swings times swing delay, or shots times fire rate plus the reloads that forces. For a charge you place by hand it is one second per charge plus the fuse, and that one second is the only estimate here. Melee tool counts assume fresh tools, because repairing lowers a tool's maximum condition each time and that rate is not in the files we read. Vanilla server settings, contact range, no distance falloff.
