+The '''MAW''' system provides warnings that missiles have been launched and automatically deploys countermeasures.
 The '''ATAM''' allows for the Mistral air-to-air missile to be installed, these are installed on each wing's hard point, which means 50% of the available hard points are used by the mistral air-to-air missiles, meaning the suspended armament are reduced by half. However, the Mistral missiles are one of the best missiles in the game, able to destroy anything which it locks on to.

-The '''EC-665 Tiger HAD''' (''Hélicoptère d'Appui Destruction''; "Helicopter for Support and Destruction") is a modification of the preceding [[EC-665 Tiger HAP]], intended to improve its heavy frontline support and anti-tank capabilities. Developed in the early 2000s together with the Spanish army, the HAD variant received an improved engine, as well as the ability to carry the latest weapons such as Hellfire II missiles. France planned to increase its fleet of these helicopters to 67 units by 2025, of which about 40 were to be converted from the previous HAP model, and the rest manufactured from scratch. In 2022, Airbus and France reached an agreement to upgrade the existing Tiger HADs into [[Tiger HAD Block 2|a new block]], allowing them to carry better ordnance and avionics.

 Introduced in [[Update 1.91 "Night Vision"]], the Tiger HAD provides a great CAS option for the French tech tree in top rank tank battles, thanks to its great avionics (MAW), optics (thermals), and decent selection of various missiles for various jobs, including Mistrals and Stingers for the air-to-air role, along with HOT-3 ATGMs and AGM-114K Hellfire II missiles to provide longer range ground support. The HAD is a popular pick both for mixed battles and helicopter Enduring Confrontation battles where it can make short work of targets from a safe distance thanks to its decent missile selection and great optics.

-During the late '80s and early '90s, Airbus, DASA, and Aérospatiale formed Eurocopter to create the next generation of European helicopters. Their most famous example was the Tiger helicopter, earning notorious on-screen fame after starring as an important plot point in the 1995 James Bond movie "''Goldeneye''". The Tiger and its derivatives would go on to have a long and prosperous life with many European countries, and were adapted into different variants to suit the needs of each operator. The Eurocopter Tiger family would be renamed to the Airbus EC665 Tiger after Eurocopter was renamed to Airbus Helicopters SAS. The HAD variant, standing for ''Hélicoptère d'Appui Destruction'', or "Helicopter for Support and Destruction", is a specially made version for the French air force which favours heavy frontline support and anti-tank duties over the older [[EC-665 Tiger HAP|HAP]] model. In 2022, Airbus and France reached an agreement to upgrade the existing Tiger HADs into [[Tiger HAD Block 2|a new block]], allowing them to carry better ordnance and avionics.

 This is one of the best-protected helicopters in the game, thanks to the composite tub around the crew and the firewall separating the 2 engines. To make use of this, when attacked by plane, the best option is to face it frontally to create the smallest possible area to hit. But like every helicopter damaged near engines, the main rotor or tail ([[OTOMATIC]]'s rain of explosive shells is very dangerous) can be taken down fairly quickly.

 The Tiger HAD is mostly similar to the earlier Tiger HAP, but with more powerful Enhanced MTR390 engines with 14% more engine power. This increased the maximum takeoff weight to 6,600 kg. Additionally, the communications suite was expanded with an Up Link and Down Link satellite antenna. The ballistic protection was also increased due to a request by the Spanish Army.
