Survivability and armour
The armour on this helicopter consists of 20 mm composite AMAP-AIR surrounding the cockpit and protecting the pilot and gunner. Both the pilot and the gunner sit on 5 mm thick Kevlar seats. Finally, there is an additional 8 mm of steel separating the the two engines.
The fuel and transmission sit in the middle of the aircraft, between the gunner and the engine. There is no armour protection for the transmission and fuel, and their placement in the middle of the helicopter make them vulnerable to enemy fire.

Usage in battles
The EC-665 Tiger UHT should use it's PARS 3 LR missile's to it's full capability, use of terrain masking to take cover from enemy SPAA or other threats, only peaking out to quickly lock on and launch your PARS 3 LR then quickly retreating back to cover using the high maneuverablity this helicopter offers. The most dangerous threats that pose this helicopter are enemy aircraft, which prove very difficult to fight when using stingers as it pulls very little compared to other missiles such as the R-60M's though the seeker performance is greatly superior to most AAM's in the game. The PARS 3 should be used on almost every single target except high-speed and agile aircraft, as the PARS 3 doesn't trigger any automatic detection system such as MAW until it is too late.
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Optic is mounted above the rotor, has the ability to only expose the optic and fire on enemies
- Wide viewing angles on the Optics allow for instant target acquisition and engagement
- Fire And Forget ATGMs
- Very maneuverable
- Has RWR and MAW
- Low thermal signature
- Thermal sight
- Stingers and PARS-3 can be used on aircraft
Cons:
- With the optic mounted above the rotor looking down you will see the rotor spinning
- Only hardpoint mounted machineguns
- No radar
- IR missiles will loose lock through smoke and obstacles
- Stinger is not effective against fast moving targets greatly limiting self defense against aircraft
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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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></ref>
, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />
. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===
, also if applicable).
