Eurocopter EC665 Tigre/Tiger

The EC665 Tigre/Tiger is a European helicopter that appears in Danger Close: Art of War, used in Singleplayer and Multiplayer. There are 2 variants, the UHT Tiger which is used by the German Army and the Tigre HAP, used by the French Armed Forces.

Overview
Built in the 1980's, the helicopter was built as a joint venture between the French and the Germans as a dedicated attack helicopter to fulfill the requirements of both armies. There have been numerous variants depending on the customer's needs.

In Singleplayer mode it only appears in the European campaign and is used in the level Air Support, where the player is the pilot and gunner of the helicopter. It is mentioned in later levels as "That machine responsible for us being alive", it also appears in HVT where the player must call air support from a French Tigre HAP in Paris.

In Multiplayer, two variants exist, the UHT Tiger for the Bundeswehr and the Tigre HAP for the French Forces. Differences are minimal but the UHT has slightly better armament and is mostly directed towards Anti-Vehicle roles, while the Tigre HAP works better as a scout helicopter and can provide better air support than the UHT variant.
