UHT-2 Tiger
This is the German anti-tank and support version
of the Eurocopter Tiger. The Tiger is a joint
development project of Germany, France, and
Spain; the first German Tigers are scheduled for
delivery next year. The original plan for the UHT
version did not include a gun system, but recent
information indicates that they are reviewing this
option. The Gunship! version of the helicopter is
built to this latest specification.
The Tiger differs from the other attack helicopters in Gunship! in that it has its main
targeting sensor in a mast-mounted sight. The mast sight includes TV, FLIR, and laser
ranging and designation systems. The pilot uses a separate FLIR system under the nose
of the aircraft. The Tiger does not incorporate a Fire Control Radar system.
The Tiger is smaller than either the Apache or the Havoc. It is very manoeuvrable and has
a faster response time. This is somewhat offset by its lighter weapons and lack of radar.
