Im using AH.1Z and i ask same question for the apache, ah60
Viper should be fairly easy to maneuver after firing all suspended armament. Things might get rough with the Apache and the Nighthawk since they are Heavy chopper and multirole chopper respectively. If the SAM is IR, flares should be enough. SAM w/ IRCCM are another story. AGM depends on the aircraft but most of them requires TGP and are trickier to spot. Other helis?Just look at how brainless the Ka-50 and Ka-52 are.
Can you explain? What do you mean by SAM? If you mean surface-air missiles, the best thing you can do to avoid it is destroying it, most helicopters are useless against SACLos missiles despite Flare and Chaff loads;
AGM is the same thing, at the moment someone shoot anything that doesn’t need infrared seeker you’re almost done for, nothing much to do, and in ground battles, a fight between two helicopters is pretty rare since by the moment a helicopter approach the battle area, he’s a easy target, and if you manage to reach another helicopter, the one who most hit shots wins, and the winner is probably highly damaged and you’ll probably crash into the ground before reaching the helicopter field.
Living as a helicopter in the War Thunder environment is just like living as a ant in the animal kingdom, you’re not the best, you’re not the protagonist, you’re points that you’ll give to the enemy team. Just try to keep distance.
Zulu Viper is honestly the best heli in the game, but I’d argue with the Whisky Viper because it has the Mk.32 FFAR (Zuni’s) that are great rockets with a good ballistic computer.
It’s really straightforward, just hover over your airfield and lob in AGM-114’s, someone shoots at you, dive to your field, and repeat
Get used to not flying above 50m, never close within 5km of the battle unless your team is spawn camping and don’t expect to do well in anything other than a Ka-52/28NM/✡AH-60
tl;dr grind F-15E
I’ve had the most luck using unguided rockets and AA missiles. AGMs put you at risk for too long. You’re pretty much guaranteed to get a kill if you use AA missiles because of the amount of people who use CAS.
SAMs are easy to deal with but it’s really map dependent. some maps just dont give you enough cover to move around. Sams are still easy to deal with as long as there’s enough cover. I just get close to them and destroy them with unguided rockets. Its pretty easy with CCIP.
I honestly wouldn’t recommend using AGMs especially at top tier, but if you do want to use them, try to get to areas where you can quickly move to cover if you see tracers or missiles launch at you.
Dealing with other Helis is a hit or miss. You may encounter someone who knows what they’re doing, or you may get a player who has no situational awareness and doesn’t expect you to sneak up on them. If you see them, try to stay unnoticed and get close enough to hit them with AA missiles, rockets, or guns. Listen for other helis because you never know when other helis are flying near you. Avoid locking them with your auto tracker because it may let your enemy know that you’re looking at them. only lock them when you are sure your turret rounds will hit them.
