"Ardent"

We finna got a new attack helicopter!

The MDA actually has quite a few helicopters (most of which belong to KPL), but none the TUPL helicopters were particularly great, as the AH-25 was hard to fly and impossible to land, while the AH-26 was just... weird.

So, with my improved knowledge and skill, I came back to make an at least half-decent helicopter. The Ardent packs some decent rockets and cannons on its pylons, but it can also carry missiles and bombs. It also comes equipped with a gatling gun for destroying tanks.
