-The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is an advanced version of the [[EC-665 Tiger HAD]] It was purely made to increase the ground-attack and anti-tank capability of the Tiger HAD, by adding Spike ER Fire-and-Forget missiles. Primarily designed for air-to-ground combat, the EC-665 Tiger is a result of European defense collaboration between France and Germany, initiated during the Cold War era to counter ground threats, especially tanks. Born out of the 1975 agreement and developed by Eurocopter (now Airbus Helicopters), this attack helicopter combined stealth technology, advanced avionics, and potent firepower, making it highly agile and versatile.
+For the French air force, the rapid obsolescence of their existing fleet of [[EC-665 Tiger HAP]] helicopters was becoming a serious problem; as a result, the decision was made to modernise the design to the [[EC-665 Tiger HAD|HAD]] variant. However, their development did not end there: in 2014, a new modernisation was proposed under the designation '''Block 2''', receiving a number of new capabilities including new software, the ability to use Spike-ER guided missiles from the Israeli company Rafael, as well as the ability to be operated from ships. France plans to upgrade all its Eurocopter Tiger helicopters to the HAD Block 2 version by 2025.
-It was introduced in the [[Update "Kings of Battle"]]. This variant however remains identical in game (at least in game) to the [[EC-665 Tiger HAD]]  with the exception of its camouflage and Spike ER missiles, making it more potent than the German [[EC-665 Tiger UHT]] which has a slightly shorter range on its missiles.
+The '''EC-665 Tiger HAD Block 2''' was introduced in [[Update "Kings of Battle"]]. The new modification of the Tiger differs from the previous [[EC-665 Tiger HAD|Tiger HAD]] only in the new Israeli Spike-ER air-to-surface guided missiles, which operate on a "fire and forget" principle with their own infrared seeker. Similarly to the German [[EC-665 Tiger UHT]], these missiles allow you to deliver rapid strikes against enemy armoured vehicles while minimising the chance of being detected and destroyed by enemy SAM systems. To protect against aircraft, the Block 2 also has a set of Stinger or Mistral air-to-air missiles, and in case of emergency there is a nose-mounted 30 mm rapid-fire cannon.

-As the Tiger evolved, several variants emerged, each tailored to specific military needs. Among these, the HAD (Hélicoptère d’Appui Destruction) variant stood out for its focus on multi-role attack missions, combining ground-attack prowess with robust defensive capabilities. The Tiger HAD Block 2 is an advanced iteration of this variant, distinguished by significant upgrades in avionics, weapon systems, and engine performance. These enhancements were not merely incremental but transformative, equipping the helicopter with cutting-edge targeting systems, sophisticated navigation and communication tools, and an overall capability to operate in more challenging environments.

 While the Tiger series has been a prominent fixture in various combat operations since the early 2000s, the specific combat exploits and deployment details of the Tiger HAD Block 2 remain less documented, partly due to its recent introduction and possibly also because of the secretive nature of military operations. Earlier variants have demonstrated their mettle in diverse conflict zones, from the rugged terrains of Afghanistan to the turbulent skies over Libya. They have been lauded for their effectiveness in reconnaissance, fire support, and anti-tank missions. The Tiger HAD Block 2, with its state-of-the-art upgrades, is expected to surpass these already impressive benchmarks.
