-The Westland Wasp was a British marine helicopter manufactured by Westland aircraft. Initially designed as a torpedo-carrying light patrol and scout helicopter, the Wasp was later modified to be able to carry the SS.11 (AGM-22) wire-guided missile. It was originated from a requirement for a new shipborne helicopter that was both small but could also carry two homing torpedoes - this was known as the MATCH (Manned Torpedo-Carrying Helicopter) program. The Wasp wasn't fitted with mounted machine guns, as they were deemed unnecessary for the anti-submarine warfare role. The first pre-production Westland Wasp flew on October 28th 1962. The Wasp has been used by the militaries of several nations, but has now been retired and replaced with more modern helicopters.

-It was introduced in [[Update 1.91 "Night Vision"]]. The Wasp is the next step along the British helicopter tech tree from the Scout boasting largely the same playstyle with some added challenges for any prospective helicopter jockey. The Wasp furthers the steep learning curve that is early British helicopters, with no armour or countermeasures to speak of, less mobility than its predecessor, and a lack of any fixed armament such as machine guns. However, for any pilot willing to put in the time, this featherweight will certainly sting like its namesake. With a small profile and retaining a good standard of agility; you can ensure timely delivery of the same punishing payload pilots will remember from the scout.

+The Wasp also has access to AS.12 missiles, a larger version of the AS.11 with significantly improved range, explosive capacity, and penetration. However, the AS.12 is also marginally slower and only 2 are able to be equipped at a time. It can be beneficial to utilise the AS.11s at lower BRs, playing against weaker targets in less well-defended airspace, while equipping the AS.12 when playing in dangerous territory and against more well-protected opponents, to fully take advantage of its improved characteristics.

These missiles boast a relatively short range of only 3.5 km which for most pilots can be a distance to the battlefield one begins sweating at. With 600 mm of armour penetration on a flat surface ranging down to 300 mm at extreme angles, the AS.11 carries enough punch to defeat most if not all targets; however, with only 1.5 kg equivalent explosive of TNT as a payload, positioning the missile is critical. Aim at the top of turrets or the flanks of your target to try and knock out crew clustered in the turret or force an ammo detonation.

Its engagement range is still outside of all SPAA ranges and its slow missile reqire attention throughout their entire flight. You cannot strafe light vehicles with your lack of machine gun armament and even if every missile hits you will only gain four kills and be stuck awaiting a reload as your teammates move in to engage the targets also. The AS.11s are the only loadout for the Wasp so taking rockets to strike gun emplacements is unfortunately not an option either.

Use this to finely adjust when performing 'masking' tactics to engage enemy ground units.
 The tail rotor boasts excellent performance when the collective is lowered below the 50% mark, however it can lock up at speed or if the collective is pushed higher towards the 100% mark. You can perform some very snappy manoeuvres in such conditions but attempting the same at higher speeds will result in a sluggish turn and in some instances a stall. If you need to turn and engage an opportune target or change direction and shift into cover, bleed speed carefully and lower the collective. The Wasp will reward you with a sharp about turn and swift relocation.
 The Wasp holds a very steady, smooth forward flight. This can be a great boon in tandem with the stabilised gunner sight for daring ATGM strafe manoeuvres for the bold. But with the agility (If handled correctly) to allow a hasty retreat should things go south rapidly.
