Best guess is that they’re some poorly made mockups of the SSM-A-23 Dart. In fact, I’d argue that the Dart probably is the correct armament of the YH-32A instead of the AGM-22A. When the trials were being performed in 1957, the Dart was meant to be the US Army’s standard ATGM, including for helicopter launch. It was only cancelled in September 1958 (per “Missile and Space Projects Guide 1962” by Horace Jacobs and Eunice Engelke Whitney). Trials on the SS.11 were first performed from 3 December 1959 to 24 March 1960 on Hueys (per ADA030732), and was only adopted in 1961 or so. Unless the YH-32A was tested into the 1960s, it would be unhistorical to give it the SS.11, although it perhaps would’ve used the SS.11/AGM-22A if it entered service.

Yeah, admittedly I do not have a good knowledge on the missile, so I just assumed it’s the SS.11 derivative.
I will update the info as many pointed out above.
doesn’t compliment the gameplay
There is no reason for this heli to be in the game outside as an April’s fool’s event vehicle.
A tiny terror of a heli. +1
A couch with a ramjet and missiles . . . need.
would have been a great addition before you could grind helis with ground
grinding early US helis was so painful with only the ah1g due to how far the rockets are aimed upward making it harder to keep on target
