@ Suhiir - yeah thanks, complications are always fun
Class 203 – Attack Helicopter
81 helicopters in this class have ATGW or AAM as primary armament, but have RoF 9. It may be a design thing, so I shan’t bother listing them. If it isn’t a design thing, let me know & I’ll do the list.
Aerospatiale AS.550 Fennec – Denmark 122 has Size 3, standard for the Ecureuil series is 2.
Aerospatiale SA.365 Panther – Saudi 548 has a ‘Steel HR’ value of 1.
SA.565 – ‘Armour’ figures differ: Israel 271 has 8/2, China 483 has 12/6, Gulf 115 has 9/2, Angola 153 has 8/0.
Aerospatiale AS.532 Cougar – Switzerland 222 has Speed 80, standard is 93 or 108. It also has ‘Steel HF’ 10, standard is 12.
Sud Aviation Alouette III – Yugoslavia 126 has Stabiliser 3, India 122 has 4, Switzerland 214 has 0, others have 5.
Angola 151 has ‘Steel HF’ 5, all others have 4.
Sud-Est Alouette II – Switzerland 982 has RoF 6, standard for TOW-armed helicopters is 4 or 9.

Agusta A.129 Mangusta – Italy 504 & 506 have Size 1, all others have 2.
Kamov Ka-52 – Russia 374, 397 & 633 have Survivability 0. Struck me as odd for one of the most heavily-armoured helicopters in the game. However, I also note that very few Russian helicopters either in this class or in Class 221 have a Survivability rating, although they are given to exported versions.
Mil Mi-4 – NVA 222 has Stabiliser 2, E.Germany 115 has 5, standard for this class is 4.
Mil Mi-8 – E.Germany 120 has ‘Steel HS’ 0, standard for the TB version is 1.

Cyprus 140 & 141 and Indonesia 612 have ‘Steel HS’ 2, all others have 3.
Westland Gazelle – Gulf 120 is the other helicopter (see previous class) with a Swim Speed. Unlike the Mi-14, the Gazelle does not have a boat-shaped hull, nor have I ever seen a model with floats.

Taiwan 120 & 121 have Armour 8/2/1/1/1/1/0. As with the previous class, I didn’t think this could be done.
