Abilities

Detects covert units in ALL domains (land, air, sea) within its detection radius, with the best reveal chance of any detector.
No attack of its own: pure utility.

Counters

AWACS has no hard counters and is not a hard counter to anything, it trades on raw stats.

Hard-countered units take extra losses and cannot retaliate against the unit countering them. See Units#Counters for the full matrix.

Production

Trained at the Aircraft Factory. Build time, cost and upkeep depend on the tier (see Stats).

AWACS uses no ammunition.

Movement and transport

As an air unit it can fly over any terrain, land or sea, within its air range.

Stealth and detection

AWACS detects covert units in all domains (land, sea and air) within its detection radius, with the best reveal chance of any detector.

Detection is rolled once per detector scan, every 10 minutes; a successful roll reveals the army for 30 minutes. Fighting always reveals it. The research focus Detection Radius widens detection ranges. See Stealth and Detection.

Tips

The widest detection net in the game, across all three domains, with the best reveal chance of any detector.
It has no attack of its own, escort it.
