Usage in battles
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).
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Good top speed for its BR
- Fairly agile, can pull off some stunts and live to tell about them
- Equipped with 6 very manoeuvrable anti-tank missiles - despite their worst-in-class speed and range, they are very easy to steer
- Has the unique ski landing pads, which makes it stick out a bit more than the other Bell helicopters
Cons:
- The by far slowest missiles on any helicopter at 85 m/s maximum speed, and an abysmal 2 km range
- No guns or rockets, its only loadout is the 6 x RB53 one
- No night vision devices
- No way to shoot down enemy aircraft except for the extremely slow missiles
History
Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the helicopter in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
