 <!-- ''In the description, the first part should be about the history of and the creation and combat usage of the helicopter, as well as its key features.

-The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} Soviet attack helicopter {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update "Kings of Battle"]].
+The '''Mi-8AMTSh''' (''Armeyskiy Mnogotselevoy Transportno-Shturmovoy''; "army multi-purpose transport and assault") is a modernisation of the Soviet Mi-8 transport helicopter, developed on the basis of the Mi-8AMT at the Ulan-Ude Aviation Plant in 1996. The helicopter was given the ability to carry similar guided weapon systems to modern versions of the [[Mi-24 (Family)|Mi-24]], including the 9M114 Shturm ATGM. The helicopter also received enhanced armour protection, new avionics, and a modified design. The Mi-8AMTSh was adopted by the Russian Air Force in 2009.
 == General info ==
@@ Line 81: / Line 83: @@
 With the Mi-8AMTSh recieving better long ranged armament, countermeasures, and a ballistics computer, along with an engine upgrade, the Mi-8AMTSh is a good support helicopter to go along in your lineup.
 In Ground RB, the Mi-8AMTSh is effective for both stand off engagements and rushing into the battle first spawn. The Mi-8AMTSh can carry up to 120x S-8K rockets, which are effective with dealing any armored targets when launching them in salvos, along with the added ballistics computer, hitting accurate shots from distances is easier to do with rockets. The uprated engines also allow it to pick up speeds quicker and is less prone to stalling its engines. The Mi-8 is a big helicopter overall, with the design originally being a transport helicopter. Mobility will still be mediocre and multiple machine gun and autocannon fire will easily defeat the Mi-8, along with being prone to pilot snipes.
 For standoff engagements, the outermost pylons can take up to 4x 9M114 Shturm ATGMs on each pylon, for a total of 8x ATGMs which are good for dealing damage against ground targets overall from a distance. Prioritize SPAAs and Anti Air that are trying to target you. For defending against air targets, you can equip up to 4x 9M39 Igla missiles on the middle pylons, for a total up to 8x Igla missiles. These missiles are very flare resistant, but are more suited to deal with helicopters, though they can still take down air targets, despite its manueverability being subpar. The best way to use them is to catch the enemy off guard in their attack run or in their low energy state at a medium range distance. If the aircraft does spot you, try to use the Iglas to ward them off and deter them from attacking you, or for you to get a better launch angle. It is ideal to bring a GUV-8700 gunpod or GSh-23L to deal with air targets overall, as the single PKT is not ideal for engaging jets.
