Ambassador Gunship

Introduction
The Ambassador Gunship is the Allied Nations main attack helicopter in Mercenaries 2: World in Flames

Overview
The AN equivalent to the Warsong Attack Helicopter, it's primary armament is a three-barrel M197 20mm cannon. There are three hardpoints (places to store weapons for helos) on either stub wing. The inboard hardpoints house two LAU-61D/A rocket pods that each hold nineteen 70mm FFARs. The middle hardpoints each house four AGM-114 Hellfire missiles on a M272 missile launcher. The outermost hardpoints (wingtips) each hold one AIM-9 Sidewinder Air-to-Air missile.

An Ambassador can be found patrolling at sea (near the oil rig that is adjacent to the Pirates' Central Island Outpost, and the Ambassador will occasionally come and fight with them). Another good spot is in Southern Caracas, near the shipyard outpost used by the AN. Also, but this is uncommon (not rare), one can be found just inside of Chinese territory, and another one around the Country Club in Eastern Caracas (near the target buildings the PLA want you to level). You can also unlock the Ambassador delivery support option by completing the AN contract "Give it A Whirl, Level 3". You can also get one when you do "The Price of Gas" for China flying around the bridge or around the UP fuel depot.

Real-Life
This helicopter is very odd in terms of a real-world counter part because it is a combination of many different NATO helicopters. The fuselage and Rotor assembly resembles the AH-1Z Viper. Instead it has a ten blade rotor built into the tail which is found on HH-65. The engines are off an AH-64 Apache.

Trivia

 * In the Playstation 2 version of World In Flames, it is just a recycled model of the YAH-56 from Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction.


 * Do not jump into the blades as Ewan lands the craft, or you will take damage. Untested with other helicopters.
