Eclipse 8 is the purple pass (battle pass) helicopter in the game, mainly focusing on reconnaissance and support functions. The gameplay of the modern warship Eclipse 8 is very crucial for everyone. So, is it worth buying? The answer is definitely yes. Its core advantages are a wide radar range and high lighting efficiency, but its output capability is relatively weak, requiring coordination with main battle ships. Next, I will share some beginner tips for playing the modern warship Eclipse 8, so you can judge whether it's worth getting.

The core function of Eclipse 8 is reconnaissance, with a radar range reaching 4 kilometers, wider than that of the Cross (3.5 kilometers), allowing it to discover enemy submarines, destroyers, and other targets faster. Its speed is about 85 knots, which is at a medium to high level, suitable for quick field scanning. In terms of weapons, the missile damage is low (about 10,000 per shot), and the rocket launcher has an average firing rate, mainly serving as auxiliary output. Compared to other helicopters, its advantage lies in "fast lighting," but dealing damage relies on coordination with the main battle ship.

In actual combat, Eclipse 8 should prioritize reconnaissance tasks. At the start, take off directly and fly along the edge of the map or behind mountainous areas, using its radar range to quickly mark enemy positions. Once a target is found, immediately notify teammates to focus fire, while maintaining a safe distance and harassing with missiles. When locked onto by enemy air defense, land immediately or hide behind cover to avoid being shot down. When teaming up, it can be paired with the Type 055 or Kuznetsov, compensating for its own output weaknesses.

Eclipse 8 is obtained through the battle pass, requiring completion of approximately 20 levels of missions (daily + weekly). For players who do not spend money, it is recommended to exchange for this first, as it is more practical than gold helicopters (such as the Cross). In terms of resource cultivation, there is no need to upgrade weapons; instead, focus on enhancing speed and maneuverability modules. If you already have high-output helicopters like the V280, you may temporarily not buy it, but the lighting efficiency of Eclipse 8 is top-notch in the game, making it highly valuable for long-term use.

For submarine countermeasures, the reconnaissance ability of Eclipse 8 is particularly important. It can detect submarine positions in advance, coordinating with rocket launchers or torpedoes for rapid anti-submarine operations. The downside is its weak output, limiting its effectiveness when solo, and its appearance is rather unattractive (four-rotor design). If you primarily play carriers or destroyers, Eclipse 8 is a must-have equipment.
The core value of Eclipse 8 lies in expanding vision, making it a team-oriented piece of equipment. It is suitable for players who enjoy supporting roles and excel in tactical command, but single players should choose carefully. Its lighting efficiency is irreplaceable, but it needs to be paired with high-burst ships to maximize its potential. Overall, the purple pass offers good value for money, and it is recommended to get it.
