Description:
The AT-7A is an inline-engine-powered helicopter, first flying in early 1949 and entering service in the late 1950 and being retired in 1974.

Some fictional history:
The AT-7A was vital for the rescue of Allied troops who were missing in the Korean War and subsequent wars, it was also capable of being equipped with weaponry to give close air support to the Allies, but the AT-7A had quite a difficulty in engaging enemy aircraft, especially if it was unarmed. In mid-1959 the AT-7A ceased to be used for close air support and became a full-fledged rescue helicopter.

Pros:
- The rate of fire of the gunpods causes a descent damage.
- Very effective in ground attack
- Fast for a piston-engined helicopter

Cons:
- Has trouble engaging an enemy aircraft
- Losing the engine means losing altitude until crash
- A single pilot without any protection, if the pilot is killed, the helicopter will be in the control of no one (But that doesn't matter in SP)
