Helicopter battles in War Thunder are spectacular and entertaining. Fighting in the air is exciting, especially knowing which nations are more robust than the others. This guarantees victory in 2024.
France
French helicopters are easy to learn and suitable for beginners, helping them learn control basics. They have potent missiles, coping well with targets on the ground. The technique can develop speedily, and many models have good armor, positively affecting the crew’s survivability. Let’s highlight two variants:
| Technics | Features |
|---|---|
| EC-665 Tiger HAD | It can reach a speed of about 300 kilometers per hour, perfectly maneuvers, and evades enemy shells. It is well-armored, has a warning system, and is equipped with effective missiles. The main disadvantage is that the cannons do not have the best ballistics. |
| EC-665 Tiger HAP | A universal armored helicopter is used to implement different tactics. The main armament is a 30 mm cannon. It is better to open fire from a distance of 1-1.5 km, but it should be considered that the cannon’s ballistics leave much to be desired: preemptive action will not be excessive. The technique maneuvers well and has a thermal imager. True, the missiles are not very effective. |
In the management of the technique is relatively simple. But it still takes time to get used to it.
Great Britain
There are few helicopters in the British branch, but they deserve attention because they can reach high speeds and are also excellent at maneuvering. In skillful hands, the technique shows itself perfectly. The small size increases convenience: it is more challenging to get into the helicopter. All models have the following advantages:
- at early levels open suitable compact helicopters capable of vigorous combat;
- well-armed and effective at hitting ground targets;
- suitable for beginners.
A noteworthy model is the AH Mk.1 Apache. Slightly worse than the Ka-52, but with proper skill it can turn the tide of battle in its favor.
Germany
German air vehicles are maneuverable and fast. They effectively hit ground targets, destroying tanks, but they are also dangerous for opponents in the air. The Mi-24P stands out; its cannons tear apart other helicopters. But control requires some practice: you may have to be defeated repeatedly. Some German models are more suitable for hitting ground targets and traveling at low altitudes.
USA
American helicopters are perfect in the game. The best model is the AH-1Z, which has a maximum speed of 426 kilometers per hour. A skillful gamer can create absolute chaos in battle since this technique uses powerful air-to-air missiles.
The initial branch helicopters are ideal for beginners. The fastest is the AH-1G. He pleases not only with maneuverability, but also with armament.
USSR
The Ka-52 is considered the best helicopter of the Soviet branch. It is balanced in terms of speed, armament, and armor. It would be best to remember that the USSR equipment is extensive; you will have to adjust tactics to this. All the branch helicopters are diverse, which increases interest. For the most part, they have impressive artillery armament. Some gamers even refer to Soviet helicopters as flying tanks.
Helicopters of the listed nations are suitable for both beginners and experienced players – there is an option for everyone in the branch. The Soviet branch is considered the best due to its variety and firepower.
