8.3 helicopters are practically unplayable (at least in Germany)

How is it in other nations? I only have helicopters from Germany, the only one I managed to make work in the tank battle was the Allouete, the Mi-8TB is very heavy and large, being an easy target for any anti-aircraft and having slow ATGMs that are impossible to hit a target unless it stays still for at least 20 seconds, and the UH-1D has a very bad zoom, and despite being more maneuverable than the Mi-8TB it is still not comparable to the Allouete, there is still the problem that in addition to being an easy target for any SPAA you are massacred by any plane that is listening to your rotor…

Ya for germany the only good helis are the ones at 9.3, 9.7, 11.0 premium (no lineup really), but we get the best heli in the game at 12.3.

For russia the other heli tree I have the helis kinda stink till 9.7, 11.0, 11.3 and 12.0.

Helis above 10.0 without fnf missiles suffer greatly from saclos SAM or new 12.0 ones.

You can be an absolute menance in those 8.3 helis because majority of ground units arent touching you from 3.5km out but ya the missiles are slow, and you have no way to deal with CAP other than a gunpod.

Your best bet at 8.3 is the uh1d

I found Alouette better than uh1d because it is faster (maneuverability) and has more zoom.

Best heli except a chin mounted gun that greatly affects survival against planes
