The AH-1W (China), commonly referred to by its nickname 超級眼鏡蛇 (Super Cobra), is one of the main attack helicopters of the ROCA. To upgrade the ROCA against any potential risks, Taiwan imported a number of AH-1Ws from the US to form the basis of their new attack helicopter brigades in 1992. With upgrades in the 2010s and an abundance of spare parts for up to 12 years, these helicopters are likely to continue being the main component of their helicopter fleet alongside the AH-64E Apache Guardian purchased in the early 2010s.

Introduced in Update "Alpha Strike", the AH-1W has a number of welcome features, such as an onboard autocannon for soft targets, AIM-9Ls, and a large payload of Hellfire missiles. While it might not be as fast or effective in terms of air defence as its PLAGF counterparts, it still boasts high speed and good manoeuvrability, and can serve as a more flexible alternative to the Z-9 series. Additionally, the AH-1W is equipped with a MAW system which will automatically release countermeasures if a heat-seeking missile is launched at the helicopter, and an IRCM system creates jamming for IR missiles' seeker heads.
