-The H-34 is a large target and is not very agile, so it can easily be spotted from a distance, and quickly be shot down. While this helicopter is not very well armored it makes up for it in great firepower. Compared to it's counterpart in the French tech tree, the US H-34 has a serious upgrade in firepower. With the two loadouts consisting of unguided rockets and many guns, you can take out a fair amount of ground targets while also being able to hunt down other helicopters and defend yourself effectively from planes, though for maximum effectiveness you should only use the loadout with the 8 guns and 42 rockets since the cost to spawn is the same as loudout with the 4 x .50cals and 32 rockets. One should try to stay low to the ground and flank around the battlefield and come in from behind the enemy to give you the element of surprise and increase your chances of surviving your attack run. Try to attack in a straight line to not bleed speed, so you can quickly flee since your speed is the closest thing you have to protection from gunfire. The H-34 also offers a more standoffish playstyle since it gets the AGM-12B. At the cost of having only one atgm and a single 20mm cannon, it makes up for it in range. At well over 6 miles (9.6 kilometers) You can safely fire atgms at the enemy without worry of SPAA fire reaching you since you can operate outside their range of effectiveness since it's BR is low enough to where it will not face missile spaa. The 20mm offers some protection from aircraft, but has limited ammo that the cannon will eat through due to it's high rate of fire, but it can be slowed down if preferred. It is currently one of the very few helicopters that sit at or below 8.0 depending on game modes, and in the right hands is a very lethal weapon that the enemy team should focus on taking out when seen in battle
+<!--''Describe the tactics of playing in a helicopter, the features of using the helicopter in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).''-->
