Lynx helo 2

A real-life Lynx AH-7.

The Westland Lynx is a British multi-purpose twin-engined military helicopter designed and built by Westland Helicopters at its factory in Yeovil. Originally intended as a utility craft for both civil and naval usage, military interest led to the development of both battlefield and naval variants. The Lynx went into operational usage in 1977 and was later adopted by the armed forces of over a dozen nations, primarily serving in the battlefield utility, anti-Armour, search and rescue and anti-submarine warfare roles.

The Lynx is a fully aerobatic helicopter with the ability to perform loops and rolls. In 1986, a specially modified Lynx set the current Fédération Aéronautique Internationale's official airspeed record for helicopters (category excludes compound helicopters) at 400.87 km/h (249.09 mph), which remains unbroken as of January 2022

Vehicle Icon of the AH-7 Lynx

The Lynx was a cut vehicle from Battlefield 2: Euro Force, likely intended to be the European Union's transport helicopter similar to the UH-60.

Although the vehicle itself was removed, the following line can be found in the localization files of Battlefield 2, specifically English_Mappacks.utxt:

In addition, it is mentioned in the constants.py and is listed as a helicopter. There are helipads which can be found outside Great Wall's borders, intended for the cut 64-player version of that map. It could also be on the 16-player variant of the map as it features a PGZ-95 (though for the European Union in multiplayer — if the PLA captures that flag nothing will spawn there) but there are no aircraft to use against it.
