Eurocopter Tiger HAP/UH Tiger

The Eurocopter Tiger (company designation EC 665) is an attack helicopter manufactured by Eurocopter. In Germany it is known as the Tiger; in France and Spain it is called the Tigre.

Tiger HAP

The Tiger HAP/HCP (Helicoptere d'Appui Protection / Helicopter for Close Protection) is a medium-weight air-to-air combat and fire support helicopter built for the French Army.

It is fitted with a chin-mounted 30 mm gun turret and 66 mm SNEB unguided rockets for the fire support role as well as Mistral air-to-air missiles.

The UHT (from Unterstützungshubschrauber Tiger; Ger. supporting helicopter Tiger) is a medium-weight multi-role fire support helicopter built for the Bundeswehr (German Armed Forces).

The UHT can carry PARS 3 LR "fire and forget" and/or HOT3 anti-tank missiles as well as 70 mm Hydra air-to-ground fire support rockets. Four AIM-92 Stinger missiles (2 on each side) are mounted for air-to-air combat. Unlike the HAP/HCP version it has no integrated gun turret, but a 12.7 mm gunpod can be fitted if needed. The German Army decided against the French 30 mm GIAT cannon that is used on other Tiger versions because it was dissatisfied with the heavy recoil of this weapon. The upgrade of the UHT with the Rheinmetall RMK30, a 30 mm recoilless autocannon, is not yet clarified due to the budget.
Another noticeable difference with the HAP version is the use of a mast-mounted sight, which has a second-generation infrared channel and a TV channel.

Countermeasures include radar/laser/missile launch/missile approach warning receivers and decoy launchers.

Apache and Eurocopter are both bad ass both have helped in the Coalition wars against the barbarian tribes. Lets see those spear chuckers in the Middle East get past this shit! I still like the Mi-24 the ability to be a gunship plus drop off heavily armed infantry is bad ass, its its own escort.

ha niemand deutsch hihi

its great but not as great as the ah64d apache longbow. nothing can beat it. just because it isn't as fast doesnt mean much. it has much more firepower, destruction capabilities, and overall far more advanced technology.

@DiggesKnoedel17 The apache is slower and manouvers less well than the UHT. The guns have yet to be proven.

I've been trying to remember the title of this show. I used to watch this in the military channel when it came on, but I am unable to remember what it was called.

@Countach187 in fact it's the german UHT version that have bad issues, there is no 30mm turret on it. just a wing 30mm pod which is less usefull.

this is French Tiger in Afghanistan : watch?v=vbTjmCz-Ilk

@xenomorphelv426

By the way, the german took more time to engineer the tiger and make it better because the version you guys have, had some very bad issues, so i wish your soldiers much fun flying the "Alpha 0.5-Version of the Tiger, lmao.
