AH-1G

The AH-1G is a USA tier 2 attack helicopter.

In-Game description
''The Bell AH-1 Cobra is a twin-blade, single engine attack helicopter. This aircraft was developed with the main engine, transmission and rotor systems of the Bell UH-1 Iroquois helicopter. This gives the two helicopters a 'Systems Commonality' that helps with maintenance and repair. The AH-1 was the principal backbone of the US Army's attack helicopter fleet during Vietnam and other conflicts but has since been replaced by the AH-64 Apache.''

Progression
The AH-1G comes after the UH-1D and costs 160 progression points.

Armament
The AH-1G comes with 3 different armament options:

Camouflages
Default camouflage [stock] NAVY, blue (Spain) [400 points] Army, green, shark mouth nose art (US) [550 points] Arctic, white (US) [700 points]

Tactics
Authors Note: I'm slightly biased towards the Vulcan loadout for this helicopter

GENERAL

Vulcan. That is most of this helicopter distilled into one word. It does have a (third) loadout with 76 rockets if you like them, an optional trainable grenade launcher or twin miniguns in the trainable chin gun turret. The biggest advantage that this massive fighter jet gun that has (likely) been taken out of a F-4 Phantom or a F-104 Thunderchief and somehow attatched under the wing of an attack helicopter. It is one of the two helicopters to have recoil on a gun in heliborne and it is gurenteed to remove all of your enemy vehicle, AAA emplacement, and infantry (if you can hit them).

PVE

This is generally simple, grenade launcher is for infantry, AAA emplacements, and armor if you need it. Miniguns are for AAA emplacements and infantry. Hydras are for infantry, armor, and AAA emplacements. The Vulcan is as simple as point and BERRRRRRRRT. Just watch the recoil. And remember to move so you don't get killed.

PVP

This is a decent helicopter for Anti-Air. Except when you start looking at the Vulcan. The Vulcan is a gun that has been mounted on EVERY US fighter airplane since the F-104 Thunderchief (it still counts even though its a fighter bomber) in addition to numerous interceptors, SPAAs, and its even mounted on ships as the PHALANX CIWS. Just WATCH THE RECOIL. That is the biggest thing about arguably the best load out on this helicopter.
