Harbin Z-9

Z-9F and Z-9D are variants of the Z-9 helicopter, which was developed by AVIC Harbin Aircraft Industry Group through the licensed production and modification of the French "Dauphin" helicopter (SA.365).

Domestic production of this model began in the 1980s, and it has since evolved into various military and civilian versions including gunship, ASW, and SAR platforms. It has become one of the most important helicopter platforms for the Chinese Army Aviation, Naval Aviation, and civilian sectors.

The Z-9F is a shipborne ASW helicopter equipped with a surface search radar and a dipping sonar. In contrast with its predecessor, Z-9C, the Z-9F is capable of carrying both lightweight ASW torpedoes and dipping sonar simultaneously, albeit at the cost of being able to carry only one torpedo.

The Z-9D is a shipborne utility helicopter that serves as the basis for the Z-9F. It does not have any ASW kit, only capable of carrying anti-ship missiles. Z-9D can also perform SAR tasks.

·Z-9F and Z-9D helicopter in 2020s configuration
·Accurate 3D model and paint scheme
·Realistic weapon and ammunition models
·Balanced weapon performance parameters
·Complete sensor, weapon, and ammunition descriptions

·ASW configuration: dipping sonar and one Yu-7 lightweight ASW torpedo.
·Anti-ship configuration: YJ-9 lightweight anti-ship missiles.
·Relatively short operational endurance.
·Restricted anti-submarine capability

Note: Due to limitations of game mechanics, the aircraft will be forced to RTB after dropping its torpedo.
