Z-11W

The WZ-11 is an armed variant of the Z-11 light utility helicopter produced by Changhe Aircraft Industry Corporation of China. In development since 1991, the original Z-11 entered service as a trainer helicopter in 1998.

The WZ-11 was designed soon after to include weapons including the HJ-8 ATGM, 12.7mm Berezin UB machine gun pods, and 57mm rocket pods that were also planned to be used on the WZ-10 at the time. The WZ-11 entered service in 2008 and is used as a combat support, reconnaissance, and medevac helicopter. The Argentine Military evaluated one of the helicopters, but did not make any purchases.

Battlefield 2: Armored Fury
In Battlefield 2: Armored Fury, the WZ-11 is used as the People's Liberation Army's scout helicopter. The driver is armed with two Berezin UB gun pods and can use a UAV once about every minute. Like other scout helicopters, the WZ-11 can carry two passengers on the sides. These passengers can use whatever kit weapons they have with them, allowing Anti-Tank soldiers to fire rockets at enemy armor, or Engineers to fix the helicopter with their wrench or airdrop anti-tank mines on high-traffic roads.

The WZ-11 is, in most regards, very similar to the AH-6 Little Bird. Its guns are mounted closer together than the Eurocopter EC635's and it is more maneuverable, as well as being faster than the EC635. Since the helicopter's guns are mounted closer, it can hit another scout helicopter with both guns even at range, making it less disadvantaged in helicopter combat.

The WZ-11 is also very vulnerable to anti-air and ground fire. Stinger sites can easily down one if it is out of flares, and Support soldiers can lay down fire upon them, as can any heavy or mounted machine gun. The pilot should make good use of the UAV before going into an enemy control point to spot threats and take them out.
