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.

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
The ONLY problem is, maybe you should make starter helis Vs. starter helis and so on in heli EC because its really hard to play it without getting sniped from 10km out by an unseen KA-50 in your little alouette or Mi-4. >:(
not the only problem..
please fix helicopter game modes before adding more, as it is now beyond rank 1, if you dont have a ka-50, you die. its simple. pls fix it and break it into better tiering so that people can actually grind for these new helios.

Where is A-129D? I didn't even mentioned a ton of exported helicopters. Good job with this Italian helicopters sapling
