	While critics may highlight the lack of armor on the Lynx, it is crucial to note the differing roles between British and Soviet or American doctrine. While the two superpowers envisioned helicopter assaults which would make Wagner cream his pants, the ability of the Lynx to carry heavy loads while maintaining control at high speeds made it an excellent gunship, albeit a rather fragile one. Furthermore, the comparatively smaller British Army requires troops to be spent far more cautiously, with Air Assault units like the 101st and VDV requiring specialized (read: ~~MORE~~ MONEH) training and equipment to be effective. The most common variation used today is the Lynx AH-7, used primarily as a missile carrier in the HELARM role. The use of weapon pylons also allows for the possibility of equipping the Lynx with autocannons, anti-air missiles or other equipment.

	The Lynx only comes with all airmobile rifle and Milan platoons, meaning that your company HQ has to share a lynx with the rest of <s>the lower classes</s> their brothers in arms. The use of these vehicles is straightforward for the most part; to transport troops into areas where your opponent would not like, such as their backline while using blitz orders to ensure that troops can get out immediately~~. Blitzing~~ to land, then blitzing the infantry out of the transport. After which, you may consider using them to block enemy movement, such as landing a lynx directly in front of a tank. Your sacrifice will be remembered.

	Unlike the Hind, the Lynx has a mediocre 5+ aircraft save, and so should not be expected to survive any dedicated anti-air fire.		Unlike the Hind, the Lynx has a mediocre 5+ aircraft save, and so should not be expected to survive any dedicated anti-air fire.

	If you wish to model a historical heliborne infantry list, the Gordon Highlanders are possibly the least suitable for the job due to their totally unrealistic armament. The Royal Marines and Paras would never carry Milans on such a scale, relying on air support and Carl Gustavs instead.

			The latest version is the AW159 Wildcat. Which will replace the previous versions of the Lynx.

	(For context: heliborne units refer to infantry forces which are transported by helicopter assets. Air Assault forces refer to units whose helicopters were capable of supporting the infantry while landing in combat zones. Airmobile forces refer to units whose helicopters could not be deployed into combat, and would use them as battle taxis. Airborne refers to deployment of vehicles and/or infantry via parachutes, NOT helicopters.)		(For context: heliborne units refer to infantry forces which are transported by helicopter assets.

	Distinct from the US and Soviet Heliborne units, the British deployed airmobile units rather than air assault forces. From observations of the Vietnam War, the Soviets and Americans designed helicopters which would deploy troops directly into the battle and featured a level of protection against small arms. ~~While the~~ Soviets chose to develop the MI-24 Hind as a flying tank equipped with an autocannon, rocket pods and ATGM missiles despite this machine being used as a simple transport. Units which relied on Hinds include the 13 Air Assault brigades of the VDV, and the Polish 6th Pomeranian Air Assault Division. The US separated their combat and transport helicopters with the Blackhawk toting a pair of door-mounted 7.62mm machine guns. Certain air assault units in the 101st Airborne and the 160th SOAR had their Blackhawks equipped with miniguns, as they were expected to enter active drop zones with a light enemy presence, serving as a blocking force against reinforcements for a certain location or to attack lightly defended locations.

	For some absurd reason, the British failed to develop their helicopter tactics and were therefore stuck with the Lynx: an excellent combat helicopter but an incredibly poor choice for heliborne infantry, being more akin to the UH-1 Huey. While most <s>Hueys</s> and Lynx AH-1s were equipped with a 7.62mm machine gun, these are not represented in-game.
