Though its been through some updates since the jungles of Vietnam, the AH-1 Cobra is the front line attack helicopter of the United States. The Cobra is an excellent tank hunter, using its narrow cross section to avoid incoming fire and unleashing hell from its side mounted TOW tubes. Its also no slouch at taking down infantry with its M197 20mm Vulcan Gatling cannon.
In Team Yankee
The AH-1 Cobra is a very good Anti Tank Helicopter.
With its Improved TOW missile, the Cobra can detonate vehicles four feet away, and since its guided and HEAT like all AT missiles, you ignore the penalties for shooting at long range. Meaning you can hover well out of the range of non-missile AA and pop the turrets off of Soviet armor.
