The VAH-43 helicopter builds on the russian tradition of attack helicopters, heavily armored the 'goony' can take an amiazing amount of damge and carries a massive payload for an atttack helicopter including troops. The flip side of the astounding capabilities and survivability is a slow speed and short range. However this helicopter is capable of dealing more damage than it takes and with its innovative modular design is easily repaired and maintenanced between operations.

The Cobra AH-1x is a state of the art attack helicopter, totally redesigned from the venerable yet effective AH-1 attack helicopter, this updated model offers stronger and lighter composite skin, Integral Helmet HUD, weapons track from the pilots head movement, increased visual capabilities, improved avionics and materials put this Helicopter on par with the Comanche in terms of maneuverability and combat effectiveness. This aircraft is a hardy contender in any climate and environment.
AH-71 (Red Kite)
Length: Rotors unfolded: 47 feet, 3 inches
Rotors folded: 28 feet, 5 inches
Width: Rotors unfolded: 40 feet, 2 inches
Rotors folded: 10 feet, 3 inches
Height: 9 feet, 11 inches
Weight: 10,000 depending on load.
Armament: 1 20mm. Four barreled minigun (chin turret), 3 internal hard points for ATGMs, AAMs, or 2.7in. Missile pods. External attachment points for additional ordnance or fuel tanks.
Avionics: Integrated FCD, multifunction LCD displays for sensor and instrument readouts, FLIR and Light Intensification in forward sensor turret that follows pilots’ head movements. Low profile LIDAR turret for ‘peeking’ above trees and hills and illuminating targets for missile strikes.
Engines: 1x Shrak h-15 rotor (six blades) 1x Shrak-21 counter rotor (six blades)
Cost: $18,650,000
Maximum speed: 235 mph
Cruising Speed: 195 mph
Range: 2,310 mi. (Max with external fuel tanks)
Service Ceiling: +10,000
Deployment: The AH-71 is designated as an armed recon/light attack helicopter
Notes: The Red Kite is the next generation of light attack helicopters. Integrating full composite build and faceted airframe to scatter hostile radar the Red Kite features an internal weapon bay capable of loading most helicopter munitions or extra fuel tanks. For crew protection and increased survivability the cabin is over pressurized and filtered against NBC threats, the entire section is protected from High Explosive and Kinetic Energy attacks while the rest of the airframe can take a hit from anything up to a 30mm explosive anti aircraft round while remaining flyable. The Red Kite can attach ‘wings’ with hard points (1x for each wing) for additional ordnance or fuel. The ‘wings’ can be ejected in flight to quickly revert to a stealthy cross section, additionally the 20mm cannon can be retracted into a fairing to further reduce radar signature. The mast mounted LIDAR array features a very low profile to maintain stealthy profile while still providing the advantages of a mast mounted senor package. The Six bladed rotor and counter rotor gives the Red Kite the lowest acoustic signature of any helicopter in its class. The Integrated FCD is capable of overlaying sensor data on the cockpit windshield and can be easily controlled from the pilot or gunners console, this cuts down on the ‘information overload’ experienced by pilots of the famed AH-64D Apache Longbow without sacrificing any sensor capability. To reduce IR signature the engine is contained in a non-heat conducting ‘chamber’ and the exhaust is pulled through an air-cooled set of arteries running throughout the tail section.

Check out the international mall: http://s6.invisionfree.com/International_Mall/index.php?act=idx
It might have something in its MT department that's to your liking. Unfortionatly, Kyanges shut down Excelsior Military Industries, and I don't think Laryteb's military storefront is still active. Most of the storefront stuff in II seems to be FT now.
EDIT: Mondoth to save the day!
