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
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
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.
more KA-50/52 food )))))
Vykrs should cost 1GE each. They should be banned from Heli EC and allowed only in Tank RB.
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...
I dunno, I think Japanese are actually still a bit worse with starter than Italy, but if you say so
seems like it can carry both snebs and minigun... on the big pictures. if it can only carry either rockets or guns, than it is worse. but if it can carry them together, its better
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.
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!
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
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
awesome helis! now type 10. how does germany get the 2a6 but japan still dont get the type 10?
And this is why I hate power creep issues...
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)))))
Cool, one last content dose for 2020. When will there be a proper helicopter game mode though? More helicopters to fill the tech trees is awesome, but at the moment there is no place to grind/enjoy them. Helicopter EC is boring and unrewarding at best and is an unbalanced nightmare with no effort behind it at worst.
good luck grinding these things. Heli EC is much fun. Trust me.
Why are you using the pathetic A205 instead of AB212?
This is actually a very good question
