Copters are basically APCs that fly. They can carry an infantry or mech with them, and can actually fight back if attacked. In later games, copters also get split into two separate units - a battle copter for fighting, and a transport copter for carrying grunts around. Unlike APCs, copters don't really have a good niche in combat. They're somewhat effective against footsoldiers and other copters, and that's about it. Keep them away from pretty much any unit that's designed to counter air units, too. Still, they're cheap and useful for carrying your capturing forces to far-flung corners of the map.
