The Pike Class Tactical Helicopter is an Engurian Military Vehicle designed to do both Close Air Support and act as a Troop Transport. Because of this, its been designated as a Tactical Helicopter.

When the Empire first tried to create helicopters, it found many problems that they eventually deemed to be an unworthy addition to the Imperial War Machine. Preferring VTOL, as it was simpler and more dynamic than helicopters.
The Rest of the world however, looked at the Helicopter and made many a use of it. One of the countries that saw the most Military Helicopters designed and produced was the Kingdom of Enguria.

The Pike is equipped with 2 Gatling III's mounted on a turret under the nose, and 2 Rocket pods on the fore wings.

First used against Scoralli Insurgents in the north of the Island Kingdom, when they threatened to blow up several monuments of King Winston the Great, the man who unified Enguria back in 1132, Age of Legends. The Insurgents were shot at in the air, and with the Chaff-Flare combination, their AA missiles never hit. By the time the Pikes landed, there was barely any insurgents left to be considered a threat, so the Squads deployed were doing naught but cleanup duties along with the local police.

Righty, enough lore, I must say, this is my first ever helicopter. And i think it turned out well enough, all things considered. It can go forward, it can go backwards, it operates almost exactly like the helicopters in Arma 2. I'd also say 3, only i never played it.

So, to control the thing is rather simple.
throttle to at least 5% and push VTOL all the way up. Bare with it, its a rather heavy girl.
1 activates the front turret rotation via trim.
And 2 activates the gun rotation, also via trim.
And, if you are so daring, 8 deactivates the Gyroscope.
You'll be regularly fighting the thing, mostly on pitch, but its not exactly hard to do so. I mean, hey, its the only way to go fast faster.
