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.

Frankly, the only positives I see with this tree is that it's small and relatively cheap compared to the others. They're all going to be useless in the heli mode thanks to two helicopters that continue to be obscenely overpowered and they'll be nothing special in ground forces.
before you introduce more helis, fix and rework the heli EC first please. no matter how good the Italian helis are, the problem is there no way to grind the tree due to Ka5052's domination of EC
Will we ever see an A-129 with the ability to use SPIKE-ER? I would assume that would be their 10.7 heli considering the CBT is at 9.7 currently.
Also. It is nice to see Italy get some Helicopters. Every nation should have something that other nations get. Whether it is SPAAs or Top Tier vehicles.
ah great.. as if japanese uh-1 didn't ruin the game enough
The Italian UH-1 can carry a maximum of 14 missiles, so there's no reason to start crying.
All answers (1)SilentFlummi1, there is if you're playing ground rb at 7.7
nice
Why didn't germany get MiG 21bis? They still have no radar guided missiles nor flares and they only top tier jest lacks RWR
