Aerospatiale Alouette II
The Aerospatiale Alouette "Lark" II is a French light helicopter noted as being the first production helicopter powered by a gas turbine engine rather than a conventional piston engine. It is still widely used and is popular for several roles such as photography, SAR, training but most predominantly used for military purposes such as carrying anti-tank missiles and homing torpedoes. Surprisingly enough the Alouette II is still found flying around in the 21st century owing to its high popularity. It’s also in War Thunder and is kinda mediocre to be honest lets be real.
This replica is relatively similar to the actual Alouette with some slight differences, however it does come with a semi-realistic startup procedure similar to that of the real life helicopter. And it comes with 2 high-precision AT missiles!
It is a mid-range helicopter, not exactly designed with range in mind and more of as a light-recon helicopter for shooting ATGMs, it’s capable of SAR but it’ll be pretty difficult.
[h] HOW TO USE: [/h1]
How to start the engine:
(FOR COLD STARTS BELOW 5 DEGREES TURN ON PITOT HEATER AFTER TURNING ON THE STARTER)
1. Switch on "battery"
2. Switch on "generator"
3. Switch on "avionics"
4. Turn on the fuel pump, wait a couple of seconds for "fuel press" to blink off.
5. Switch on your starter, then on the bottom centre panel turn on "injection" and "electromotor" and increase your throttle to full.
6. After the engine has kicked in, turn off injection.
7. Wait until RPM hits 1700, you then can use your collective and fly away.
How to use the ATGMs:
(Engagement range must be around 700m/1km, shooting at vehicles the size of a tank don’t usually go down well and usually miss target, due to this, they’re better as anti-ship missiles)
1. Make sure the laser designator is looking at the general area of the target.
2. Turn it on, it should scan and find the target you’re looking at.
3. Turn on auto-hover (3) and keep the helicopter facing at the target in question, fire the missile.
4. It should take a couple of seconds, depending on target size, distance, wind etc it sometimes may miss.
Features:
– Semi-realistic startup procedure to the real life Alouette.
– 2 decently high-precision ATGMs
– Decent maneovuerability
– Highly detailed replica
