Helicopters

Newcomers at top tier often feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of new tools — and radar is one of the biggest ones. If the radar UI makes your eyes cross, don’t worry: that’s expected early on. Let’s sort it out and learn how to read the scope properly.

You have made a Helicopter Usermodel but you're seeing the Default Aircraft UI Layout? Worry not.

Among the highlights of the latest update are squadron vehicles: machines that any active community member can research and unlock. This time the prize is the Russian Mi-35P “Phoenix”, and its designation raises plenty of questions.

The Mi-24P (NATO reporting name: Hind-F) is the dedicated anti-tank variant of the venerable Mil Mi-24V Hind attack helicopter. With its extensive suite of ground and air armaments, ranging from 500 kg bombs to the Shturm ATGM, the Mi-24P can dish out a great deal of damage while being able to tank most return fire due to its rugged construction and various survivability systems. In addition, the turreted 12.7 mm machine gun found on the preceding Mi-24V is replaced with a longer version of the Su-25's twin-barrelled 30 mm autocannon, which can easily tear apart aircraft and most ground units.

The AH-60 Battlehawk is an Israeli development of the famed Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk utility helicopter, adapted for combat operations. With an exceptional air-to-ground armament in the form of 16 fire-and-forget SPIKE-ER missiles, the Battlehawk excels in ground engagements where it can devastate targets and overwhelm SPAAs with its SPIKEs while having the ability to dip behind cover to avoid any return fire.
