Survivability and armour
Examine the survivability of the helicopter. Note how vulnerable the structure is and how secure the pilot is, how many engines the vehicle has. Describe the armour, if there is any, also mention the vulnerability of other critical aircraft systems.
Armaments
Offensive armament
Describe the offensive armament of the helicopter, if any. Describe how effective the cannons and machine guns are in battle, also what ammunition belts or drums are better to use. If there is no offensive weaponry, delete this subsection.
Suspended armament
Describe the helicopter's suspended armament: additional cannons under the winglets, any type of bombs, and rockets. Since any helicopter is essentially only a platform for suspended weaponry, this section is extremely important and deserves your special attention. If there is no suspended weaponry remove this subsection.
Usage in battles
The two main armaments that you will end up using are the 8 BGM-71 TOWs and the 4 BGM-71 TOWs with the FN F3P gun pod with the three FFAR Mighty Mouses. The first load out is used as an early game strike load out when there is a lack of enemy SPAA, helicopters, and planes. The second load out is used in the mid game and late game time frames when there are vehicles that can shoot you down.
When using the TOWs there are a couple of ways to play with them. The first is the standard hover behind a mountain or hill then fly up fire one or two missiles than reposition and repeat. Another way to play is similar to the SA.313B Alouett where you will put your collective between 50%-60% and angle down and as you fly over the battlefield you strike enemy tank, this strategy requires a bit of luck and knowledge of how the BGM-71 TOWs work.
A rare way to play is to carry the 2 FN F3P gun pods with the six FFAR Mighty Mouses and use ground belts to strike lightly armored vehicles such as the BMPs, Object 685, Rooikat, and HSTV-L.
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Small fuselage that is harder to hit
- Very good manoeuvrability
- Highest ATGM count of the premium V era helicopters
Cons:
- Slower speed than most attack helicopters
History
Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the helicopter in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to an article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article.
