AH-8M Rattlesnake

The AH-8M is an incredibly updated and modernized version of the Cayuga helicopter made by REHL, built for destoying mass amounts of armored and barricaded targets. The original AH-8A Cayuga ended up being one of the most successful REHL helicopters ever, being built in the middle of a large war and playing a major role in it eventually leading to the BRAF's victory. This is it's most modern, and most likely final variant, being the deadliest and most feared helicopter ever widely used in the BRAF.

Pros:

• High Top Speed
• Sticky blade collective allowing for cruising
• Very survivable in crashes
• Extremely Heavy Armament
• Bulletproof Glass
• Strong landing gear

Cons:

• High brick count of 2,050 means it can't be spawned all the time in MP
• The tail rotor is actually functional, and losing it causes the helicopter to spin out of control
• Realistic flight controls do not always allow tight manuvering, which causes the rotor to lose RPM and fall
• EXTREMELY Loud
• Requires two operators to reach its full potential
