-Development on the Westland Scout began in the late 1950s, however not at the Westland company, but at Saunders-Roe. Saunders-Roe developed their Saro P.531 light utility helicopter. As a result, in the early 1960s, the Westland Scout was created. The Scout conducted its maiden flight in August 1960 and was well-received with both the British Army and Royal Navy during testing. As work on the Scout steadily progressed, Westland continued developing a navalized version of the vehicle in parallel. After being reviewed by the Royal Navy, the 'Wasp' as it eventually became known. Both versions of the helicopter took part in combat operations during their service, most notably in Borneo, the Falklands and Northern Ireland. In the end, around 280 machines of both types were built, including export models.Both versions of the helicopter took part in combat operations during their service, most notably in Borneo, the Falklands and Northern Ireland.

 Against static ground targets - Simply approach the enemy ground forces. At about 3 km range long range SPAA will start firing, but it doesn't use overwhelming fire tactics, so you can actively roll to the sides to not get hit. Do not sleep on them, as a direct hit to the pilot cabin can be fatal. Once you reach 3.5 km range, try to stall the helicopter then aim and lock the gun scope in their general direction (F key by default) and quickly shift to the gunner seat. Here, fix your aim as fast as you can, so that the scope is actually aiming at the SPAA, and shift to a different view. Now, as long as you don't turn the helicopter too far away from the target, your ATGMs will fly exactly where you were aiming - simply fire the ATGM (spacebar key by default) and control the helicopter, so that it doesn't continue to fly directly into the SPAA nest, or start rolling to the sides to evade enemy fire until they explode if it already did. After that, designate new target while dodging, fix aim after roll and repeat. If you feel like it, you can also fly as close as 2.5 km to practice dodging close-range SPAA volleys or to simply draw their fire from your allies, but these must be actively dodged and will not forgive mistakes. In case the gunner got shot and you lost the ability to correct ATGM aim, you can return to the airfield to get a replacement.
 Once SPAA were dealt with, attack ground forces. When attacking into enemy territory, you can destroy AT cannons with MG (much easier to do so from the cockpit view) and destroy pileboxes with ATGMs in the same manner you dealt with the SPAA - first designate target, then do a run-by or simply adjust helicopter hull so that the ATGM is launched directly into the target and does not miss. When defending, you can simply hover the helicopter and manually attack them with ATGM, as the MG cannot damage them anyway.
 Against convoys - The general strategy is similar, but the MG is only useful against trucks here (those only spawn on certain maps) and you can't just lock the ATGM scope, as both tanks and SPAAs will be moving. Instead, you have to deal with the long-range SPAAs yourself and dodge their shots while aiming in the sniper seat. Since convoys are generally protected by the long-range SPAA, it is necessary to maintain safe range of 3.0-3.5 km to avoid being shot, unless you want a challenge. To maintain distance, try to approach the convoy from the front, then stall the helicopter and pull the nose up until it starts steadily flying backwards at about 40 km/h speed, then go into the sniper seat - the autopilot will ensure that the helicopter keeps its pace. After dealing with the SPAA, you can just hover the helicopter and bombard remaining vehicles at your leisure. Intercepting convoys from the front also allows to have easier time aiming, as it is much more difficult to hit targets moving at an angle. If you can't - try to hit the first tank in the column into engine to make all of them temporarily stop (assuming it doesn't immediately explode).

	The AS.11 missiles are usually good and enough to end with an armoured treat. Their SACLOS (Semi-Automatic Command to Line Of Sight) guidance requires the gunner to hold the reticle over the target until impact. It is recommended to aim for the sides of armoured vehicles, as some tanks are able to survive frontal ATGM impacts. Keep in mind the maximum range of 3.5 km and always anticipate a target's movement.		The AS.11 missiles are usually good and enough to end with an armoured treat.

		+	This helicopter has a very wide ATGM guidance area, so it can easily dodge SPAA volleys after locking the scope on target (F key). This feature is integral to the support helicopter playstyle, as the lack of armour does not allow to attack tanks or SPAA directly. The scope of this helicopter does not follow vehicles when they move, so sometimes gunner must correct aim when there is time, or when the ATGM is about to hit.

 Since this mode is a decent way to grind through modifications, it can be used to train basic understanding of helicopter controls and interface. The enemy aircraft also won't necessarily hunt you specifically, unless you get in their way, so it's also less stressful. Due to the arcade mode rules, helicopter will also recover ATGMs without having to go to the airfield. Until MG upgrade is researched, it is better to set gun convergence to 400 m here.
-The primary role of this helicopter in this mode is anti-SPAA. Since enemy SPAA AI doesn't have the best aim in the world, and does not intentionally dodge missiles, you will be able to dodge their shots easily while also attacking, as long as you don't fly into their optimal range. You will also be able to outrange [[M163]] which generally obliterates allied helicopters relying on their rockets. But, you cannot destroy bases and the weapons are very weak against bombers. Try to team up with some less agile helicopters to clear objectives faster.

-Against AI planes - there are two wings of bombers that spawn regularly. In general, it is a very bad idea to fight bombers in this helicopter due to the lack of armour and proper anti-air weapons (even helicopters with bulletproof glass, turret and rockets can easily get obliterated in a 1v6 fight), but you might just accidentally get in their way, then there is no choice. The bombers will usually keep their altitude and pretend to not notice you, but sometimes they also choose to fly low. If you got within ~3 km range, the leading bomber wing will approach you at about 30 degree angle and then attack with all of their side guns, which the scout certainly will not survive. If initial attack failed, the second wing will attempt to shred you from the other side shortly after. The best counter is to not get in their way to begin with, but if you must, at least keep 3 km of height, which allows you to try and snipe the lead bomber with ATGM to break their formation and immediately drop your altitude by falling to the side to avoid incoming fire. After doing so you should run for your life while monitoring the second wing behaviour. The bombers are unlikely to just let you go, but they also aren't very fast and prefer to circle around the target at first, so you might break away and manage to get help before they caught up with you.

 The flight performance of the Scout will prove to be rather satisfactory even when stock. It feels light, fast, and agile making it competent in evading the barrage of things that will rain at you, including tank shells. Its speed and acceleration are sufficient to allow good positioning when the match starts; setting the collective to 80% and keeping the pitch at +2.0°/-4.0° will usually be enough to reach top speed without gaining too much altitude or over-revving the propeller. Using the collective at 100% will increase thrust (useful when altitude is needed) but will reduce the horizontal speed drastically, making the helicopter prone to stalling during manoeuvres.

 The pilot, gunner, engine, transmission, main rotor, and tail rotors are all exposed to fire from missiles, rockets, cannons, and even small-calibre machine guns. However, it is sometimes possible to survive multiple hits due to the spacious layout of the vehicle's components. The low velocity of small-calibre rounds is sometimes inadequate to penetrate the Scout's fuselage panels.
