![]() For these kinds of threats, there are multiple layers of protection against these types of threats. In almost all cases, the Tiger UHT will face anti-air vehicles, especially missile-based systems. Although not reliable due to the lack of a proximity fuse, this can be a live saver when fighting at ranges that exceed the range of Stinger.Īltitude is key - Fighting against and around anti-air This allows for great viewing angles of over -60° to 60° in the horizontal plane, and -40° to 10° in elevation.Īn important feature about PARS 3 LR is the infrared seeker, being able to engage aircraft and especially helicopters too. The task of finding targets is greatly improved through the optics being mounted above the main rotor overseeing the entire helicopter and being equipped with thermal/night vision systems. Targets that are moving towards cover such as buildings, terrain, or smoke, or sitting behind bushes (not bushes as 3D decorations). When picking out targets to engage, there are a few criteria to be checked to ensure a good hit. This also allows all 8 missiles to be fired within 10 seconds at either the same or 8 different targets at once.Įngagement of multiple tank targets using PARS 3 LR The only disadvantage to the missile is the requirement to lock the target beforehand, which isn't too important due to the short 1-second warm-up timer. PARS 3 LR however is the highlight of the Tiger UHT, with its unique ability to home-in on the target on its own after launch, allowing the pilot to seek cover immediately after firing the missile. Although HOT-3 has the highest penetration of any armament in-game, it does not perform well due to its very lacking 4.3 km range. If rockets are used, the ballistics computer will assist with landing precise hits.įor the Tiger UHT, there are 2 choices of anti-tank guided missiles: HOT-3 and PARS 3 LR. Just like air combat, close-range anti-tank combat is not a very viable option, the 38 Mighty Mouse rockets or 12.7 mm gun pods don't present a great tool to destroy anything that isn't soft targets. With an all aspect locking seeker, the missile can engage aircraft directly coming towards it, however, this is limited to a maximum distance of roughly 4km. If required, the Tiger UHT is equipped with 4 Stinger heat-seeking missiles that work best against slow-flying targets within 750m-5km with 2km being the optimal launch distance. With support from friendly fighters occupying hostile aircraft and helicopters, the Tiger UHT can singlehandedly wipe out entire teams on the ground, even the latest anti-air vehicles have great difficulty taking out a Tiger UHT when piloted accordingly.Īlthough possible, the Tiger UHT should avoid actively hunting other helicopters and especially aircraft(unless unavoidable), as it is far more important to prioritize hunting ground targets instead. With the addition of all-new MAW, thermal optics, air-to-air missiles and unique heat-seeking anti-tank guided missiles, the EC-665 Tiger UHT presents the leading edge of anti-tank helicopters. Although the playstyle is similar to its predecessors, the Tiger UHT is quite unlike other helicopters previously found in its tech tree. ![]() The EC-665 Tiger UHT is a great tank hunting helicopter, enabled through the help of its superb avionics, electronics, optronics and one-of-a-kind PARS 3 LR anti-tank guided missiles. ![]() * Gunpods can be carried concurrently with triple FFAR rockets on the same hardpoint There is no armour protection for the transmission and fuel, and their placement in the middle of the helicopter make them vulnerable to enemy fire. The fuel and transmission sit in the middle of the aircraft, between the gunner and the engine. Thanks to the GPS (Gunner Primary Sight) displacement, if the real life combat usage is followed (staying behind trees and mountains and poke just the rotor), the survivability of the EC-665 can be tremendously improved, thanks to this, it is not detected by anti-aircraft at all and will be hard to spot unless thermals are being used. However, the EC-665's best armour is to not be seen at all. It is not able to withstand machine gun fire without being damaged badly. The crew is protected by AMAP-AIR (Advanced Modular Armour Plating Air) which is able to protect the crew from fragmentation only. However, the EC-665 crew is inside what looks like an "armoured bathtub". As with most helicopters in the game, the Tiger UHT can be shot down easily by even 7.62 mm machine gun fire.
