Aw man, I was gonna research the tiger. Eh Heli PvE grinding is still broken anyways. Back to Air RB I guess.

I recommend Assault Arcade; it’s better.
It’s workable… But who am I trying to kid? It’s borderline worthless at 13.0, it’s barely 12.0 material. Since at 12.0 it would still meet something like Elde and CLAWS.

A helicopter should never have more range than a spaa, specially if it has FnF missiles.
Or its just damn unbalanced for ground units, anti-air its called like that for a reason.
Ahh I remember those times when 8km spaa faced 10km vikhirs, it was a mess.
Considering its real track record it’s not far off from reality. Ironic because its also the most expensive one
The BR of UHT should at least be reduced to 12.0 or 12.3. It is fundamentally not the same type of weapon as MI28NM and AH64E.
Nooo nonono
You can sit far away from the SPAA and use your hellfires against them
Hellfire is intercepted, but Hydra is not.
Helicopters:
EC-665 Tiger HAC/Tiger HAD Block 2/EC-665 Tiger UHT
Mode:
Ground RB
Proposed change:
12.7 > 12.0-12.3
Reasoning:
General Thoughts
- Only 8–12 FnF missiles
- Compared to 16 missiles for AH-64E/Z-10ME (8 for Mi-28NM, but this one has a lot more avantages to it to counterbalance that)
- Limited maximum range:
- 7–8 km
- vs 16–25 km for AH-64E/Z-10ME/Mi-28NM
- No IRCM (infrared countermeasures)
- Slower climb rate than other helicopters
- HAC and UHT variants do not have a 20-30mm main cannon. Also, Mi-28NM’s main cannon is a lot more accurate than Tiger HAD Block 2’s main cannon, and other helicopter main cannons in that mater
- Tiger helicopter FnF missiles top-down approach is NOT as perfect as Mi-28NM LMUR’s
Missile Explosive Power
- Mi-28NM (LMUR)
→ 19.2 kg TNT - Z-10ME (CM-502KG / Blue Arrow 11)
→ 7.7 kg / 6.3 kg TNT - AH-64E (JAGM-MR)
→ 4.8 kg TNT - Tiger helicopters (Spike ER)
→ 3.3 kg TNT - German Tiger (PARS 3 LR)
→ 3.7 kg TNT
Air-to-Air Capability (same reasoning for SACLOS/Laser+IOG/Beam Riding Air-to-Ground missiles)
- Mi-28NM
→ 16 air-to-air missiles - AH-64E
→ 4 missiles - Tiger helicopters
→ 4 missiles - Z-10ME
→ 16 missiles
N.B. : identical reasoning can be applied to the italian AH-129D, while keeping in mind it does have IRCM and 8 Air-to-Air missiles capability.
