Tiger HAD Block 2

Description

The EC-665 Tiger HAD Block 2 is a rank French attack helicopter with a battle rating of (AB), (RB), and (SB). The Block 2, an advanced version of the EC-665 Tiger HAD was introduced in Update "Kings of Battle". It is 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.

This variant however remains identical in game (atleast in game) to the Tiger HAD with the exception of it's camouflage and Spike ER missiles, making it more potent than the german Tiger UHT which has slightly shorter range on it's 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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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.
