Armaments

Night vision devices
Improves visibility by enhancing natural light or active illumination.
Thermal imager
Allows to see thermal radiation in the infrared range day and night

Offensive armament

The OH-58D is armed with:

  • A choice between three presets:
    • 36 x countermeasures
    • 36 x countermeasures + Flak jackets
    • 36 x countermeasures + Flak jackets + IRCM

Suspended armament

The OH-58D can be outfitted with the following ordnance:

Default weapon presets
  • 1 x 7.62 mm M134 Minigun machine gun (1,500 rounds)
  • 1 x 12.7 mm GAU-19 machine gun (550 rounds)
  • 1 x 30 mm LR30 cannon (250 rounds)
  • 4 x ATAS (AIM-92) missiles
  • 2 x AGM-114K Hellfire II missiles

  • 14 x APKWS II (M151) missiles
  • 14 x APKWS II (M282) missiles
  • 14 x Hydra-70 M247 rockets

Usage in battles

Describe the tactics of playing in a helicopter, the features of using the helicopter in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons

Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in the bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".

Cons:

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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).

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
