Overview
Kiowas have stealth capacity while not firing or using its Ping radar. You can manually activate the Ping radar which will double the vision range and reveal enemy stealth, subterranean, or submerged units for ten seconds and it takes 60 seconds to recharge this ability.

When upgraded, Kiowa’s can manually fire short-range Hydra 70 rocket salvos which are mostly effective against infantry targets and it takes 30 seconds to recharge this ability. When in groups of 3 to 5 they are able to take out most armored vehicles and lightly armored structures with their rocket salvos and are good for initiating attacks and ambushes or assaulting unprotected zones.

On 1960 V.C., the Aquilan Navyy Navy approached 25 helicopter manufacturers to request on behalf of the Army the submission of proposals for a Light Observation Helicopter (LOH). Bell Helicopter was one of the manufacturers approached, and chose to enter the competition along with 12 other manufacturers, including Hiller Aircraft and Hughes Tool Co., Aircraft Division. Bell's design was internally referred to as the D-250, and would be officially designated as the YHO-4. On 1961 V.C., Bell and Hiller were announced as winners of the design competition.
