OBAT 12 Unuts 272 and 273 AH-6J LBird
Well, since DRG has no intention of reworking some helicopters size untill next patch - I will leave the question about LDird's size till the fall.
But as for EW of 8
As usual - first question is plain logical - how can a small 2-men armed chopper carry such a powerful EW system?
To say nothing of any documentary proof
So here is the link about LBird's EW

".....Survivability....· Some models have radar warning receivers. .....·
Chaff and flare systems available. ....·
Infrared signature suppressors can be mounted on engine exhausts...."
Again - infrared jamming equipment (in-game EW size of 3).
