Another fully functional helicopter. This is an attack helicopter. Functional nose turret (vtol) allows for accurate fire regardless of orientation. 6 agms and 2 rocket pods lets you destroy anything in your path. 12,000lbs lets you be rough with the controls without losing control. Plenty of fuel will keep you in the fight longer.The Ascendant IS the bird you are looking for.

All my helos fly via pitch and cyclic action so they act alot different than many of the throttle/vtol nozzle helos. Takeoff is achieved around 40% throttle, you can safely use up to about 80%, 100% is only for emergencies (it will pull you up but you will start to have alot of other problems.) The engines will not shut off, sorry. This is because the throttle governer is on and forces them to run. Throttle controls propeller pitch to increase thrust. Yaw will adjust the rudder pitch. Be gentle with the yaw, I raised it off the ground to give extra clearance during landing but it will induce a lot of roll.

EDIT: If you have trouble landing, try removing the bottom agm, or simply move it so it doesn't hang down as low. The suspension bottoms out and the missile hits the ground, causing trouble...
