Z-9

The WZ-9 is an armed utility helicopter built by the Chinese Harbin Aircraft Manufacturing Corporation for the People's Liberation Army. The helicopter is a licensed copy of the French Eurocopter AS365 Dauphin and has been in service since 1994.

Although originally manufactured as a utility helicopter under the designation Z-9, the helicopter was modified with hardpoints on stub wings to mount anti-tank rockets and missiles. The primary use for the armed version was to be an interim attack helicopter while the WZ-10, a dedicated attack helicopter, was being developed. It still serves its interim role while the WZ-10 is being put into full production.

Battlefield 2: Modern Combat
In Battlefield 2: Modern Combat, the WZ-9 takes on a role very similar to the UH-60L Black Hawk. It has a pilot who controls the aircraft, as well as having access to anti-tank rocket pods. Unlike the Mi-24 Hind, the WZ-9 has two gunner positions, each armed with an M134 Dillion Minigun. On top of that, the vehicle carries another two passengers that have access to their kit weapons and gear.

In singleplayer, the WZ-9 is used by the player in the mission Heavy Tonnage to destroy the cargo freighter, and is also seen in Air Traffic Control used by the PLA, although the player can kill the pilots before they reach their helicopters and steal one themselves.

In Multiplayer, the WZ-9 appears on the maps Bridge Too Far, Cold Front, and Special Op; all at the Chinese Base on the respective map.

The vehicle handles much like the Black Hawk, although it is less maneuverable than the AH-64 Apache, AS-665 Tiger, or the Mi-24. With a coordinated team, the vehicle can be a very stable weapons platform, being able to take down enemy armor with the pilot's rockets, while the gunners deal with infantry, as well as being able to drop off two more.

Battlefield 4
The WZ-9 is featured in the Multiplayer mode for Battlefield 4. It was first seen on the map Siege of Shanghai in the "Battlefield 4: "Best Moments" Multiplayer Gameplay Trailer".
