We present to you the Italian research tree for combat helicopters. Today we will tell you about the first three of them.
AB 205 A-1
This helicopter is a licensed copy of the American UH-1H "Huey", modified for the needs of the Italian army. The AB 205 A-1 is an entry-level multi-role helicopter armed with miniguns and LS FFAR rockets.
A.109 EOA-2
In the early 70’s, the Italian aircraft manufacturer Agusta began testing a new multi-purpose helicopter, the A.109, which was originally created for the civilian market, but immediately drew the attention of the military authorities. A.109 EOA-2 is a reconnaissance version, designed to destroy various targets including enemy armored vehicles. In addition to machine-gun pods and rockets, the helicopter can be equipped with four TOW anti-tank missile launchers.
A.129CBT Mangusta
The modern A.129 attack helicopter is successfully used by the Italian armed forces, as well as by a number of foreign operators. The helicopter has excellent flight characteristics, outstanding speed and superb maneuverability. The CBT modification was created from combat experience in modern armed conflicts. The Mangusta is armed with a 20mm autocannon and carries a good arsenal of unguided and guided weapons, including Stinger air-to-air missiles and Hellfire II ATGMs.

awesome helis! good luck grinding 390k rp with 14 snebs. the japanese huey already was the worst heli in the game and it was a complete nightmare to grind with in heli ec (because of some russian helis that we cant talk about), and this one is ever worse!
Clearly the worst helicopter in game.
Conte_Baracca, didnt it say starter heli? shouldnt that mean its noob friendly and that you can actualy grind out the tree with it? i guess not. utter trash now watch its going to have big repairs
The french heli is worst in every aspect compared to japanese chopper. At least the japanese have rockets by the dozens.
Listen, you cannot give people a horrible useless helicopter and make them grind hundreds of thousands of RP with it. The Japanese already need 400k RP with dumb fire rockets for gods sake. either admit helicopters only exist for whales and lock it all behind a paywall or actually make them playable.
It certainly seems their intent is to force people to spend money
All answers (1)Conte_Baracca, Which would be one thing if they didn't already did that in every other single aspect of the game, whilst also having a monthly subscription based system with a premium account, a cash shop with horrible expensive premium vehicles, a season/battle pass on top of that, on top of pay to progress, on top of the ability to pay for crew slots and whatever else, on top of a marketplace and top of hardcore grind events you can pay for.. it needs to stop.
they wont listen to you, they dont really care about community. so you will never see a change only when no one will play them probably and they will remove them
TheReaper222, They won't remove them, they'll just leave it in the game and pretend it's our fault somehow like they do with everything, it's absolutely moronic with how poorly helicopters are implemented, buy a Ka-50 or get fked, there literally is no way to play these helicopters and progress the trees, helicopters exist purely for whales and Gaijin put in a tiny bit of effort to pretend that is not the case.
more KA-50/52 food )))))
Vykrs should cost 1GE each. They should be banned from Heli EC and allowed only in Tank RB.
All answers (6)whiterussian1974, I heavily disagree. The real solution is to divide those Heli ECs to low and high rank ones.
Thank you for giving italy the worst starter veichle ever...
don't wanna fight AH-64s, Ka-50/52s, Mi-28Ns, EC Tigers in the very balanced way to grind helicopters (aka heli EC)? no problem! you can buy a premium one to try to at least be competitive.
All answers (1)IlustriousKnown, +
I dunno, I think Japanese are actually still a bit worse with starter than Italy, but if you say so
All answers (1)RoachyCZ, How is the Japanese huey with 38 unguided rockets worse than the Italian with 14?
oh i thought its a type 10 for a second. well, japan really doesnt need a top tier competitive tank anyway, right?
Bro everyone needs a competitive top tier tank now that the 2A6 got added, just dont play top tier till the naziboos aren't clubbing anymore.
All answers (1)CheckYoPrivilege, i agree with you that 2a6 is a joke but every natio have something to fight with. elclercs, m1a2, t-80, even the chally 2 got a buff this update. but type 10? cmon gaijin, its worse than any other 10.7 tank already, you just dont want to give japan their only tank they can get!
Whilst I agree Japan should get its 10.7 some time soon, we did just get a long awaited tank at 6.7 which im sure will be a beast. Tanks for Japan do come, at slower rate, yes, but they do. Give it time and we will a true force at top tier.
choruseye, Or if not Type 10, cuz it´s role is command tank than anything else with electronic warfare equipment, at least Type 90 prototype with japan made gun, which is said to be better than the german one Type 90 normaly have but more costly.
This isn't even a heli sapling, let alone a tree.. also where the hell is the OH-1 for japan? the one heli people were waiting for when japanese helis were announced still isn't in the game
because it only carries AA missiles
All answers (2)Comrade_OwO_Baka, It has been equipped with AA missiles but can carry anything that fits on those pylons, including Hellfires, gun pods or rockets
I would have preffered an Australian Huey, Aussies had and used many vehicles throughout the wars, F-111, Vampire, are two air I would have liked to see in game. Tanks although cut and paste, but several troop carriers. We even had an Aircraft Carrier as well as destroyers etc.... be nice if these "minor" nations got a bit of love too. Instead always American, British or French versions. If its the same vehicle, then let another flag fly on it.
awesome helis! now type 10. how does germany get the 2a6 but japan still dont get the type 10?
hijacking this comment to let yall know that gaijin removed the top comment that asked for a simple heli EC fix. copmrade, heli EC is balanced, dont listem to them, here is a premium heliocopter)))))
All answers (1)netanelyat, Everyone knows Helu EC is terrible
And this is why I hate power creep issues...
