The UH-1b is fine though it has enough ffar to actually aim them and then hit a target it also has enough for it to kill when it dumps them into something, so giving it a bunch of rockets would make it fine at 7.7.

I haven’t played it in a while, but I remember finishing spading it in PVE I was lucky to have a teammate with ATGMs who focused on SPAAGs and then I could destroy other units. Also at some map there were aircraft formations which were flying in some kind of spiral, so I could kill them with mgs.
Actually there is no point to play it unless you just want to have it spaded, especially since you can use ground vehicles to research other helicopters.
Anyway there are people showing Japanese UH-1B tactics on reddit, you can use it for AB 205A-1, although you have much less rockets capacity.

I have experience with the AB 205 if you want to use it properly:

What not to do:

  1. Never go into the battlefield; you’ll be shot down straight away.

What to do:

  1. What you need to do is fly low, circle the map and position yourself at the enemy helicopter airfield, just out of their range so they can’t see you on the map.
  2. Wait until an enemy helicopter spawns, then ambush it by following it and shoot it down. (Depending on whether enemy helicopters spawn, you can have fun; if they don’t spawn, you’ll be bored to death because you literally do nothing for the entire match)
  3. The AB 205 is good in close-quarters combat between helicopters thanks to its 2 miniguns.
  4. Only head to the map at the end of the match, when the enemy team is almost wiped out, to land in those areas and capture them by helicopter… If you’re really lucky, you might even manage to take out a tank with the rockets you’ve got, but it’s very difficult.
