Zhi-9WA - Light Attack Helicopter: PLA
Harbin Aircraft Manufacture Corporation (HAMC) began to develop an attack helicopter based on the Zhi-9 army utility helicopter in the mid-1980s. The early versions of this attack helicopter, designated Zhi-9W (Z-9W, aka WZ-9), featured a pair of external weapon pylon and a roof-mounted optical sight for target searching and tracking in daylight. The helicopter was mainly intended for anti-armour warfare role, carrying four HJ-8 wire-guided anti-tank missiles. Alternatively, the helicopter could carry guided rocket pods or machine gun pods for close air support role.
In 2005, HAMC introduced an improved “night attack variant”, also known as Z-9WA (aka WZ-9A). The most notable improvement was an under-nose observing and tracking unit housing a low-light TV and an infrared search and track (IRST), allowing the helicopter to operate in all-weather, day/night conditions. Other improvements included redesigned weapon pylons similar to those of the French AS 565 Panther, a self-defence electronic warfare suite and a new cockpit with multi-function displays (MFD).
For Project Reality we will have 4 separate versions of the Z-9WA, each carrying a different load out of weapons. The first being kitted out with 8, HJ-8 Anti-Tank wire guided missiles. The second will be kitted out with two, HF-7D, 90mm rocket pods carrying 7 rockets each (14 rockets total). The third setup will have two, HF-25, 57mm rocket pods carrying 18 rockets each (36 rockets total). The fourth and final version will carry two 23-II, 23mm guns with 240 rounds each (480 rounds total). Each version will be used on maps in terms to which version suits the map best.

Also I crated some new "projectiles" for these new weapons. The first being the long awaited HJ-8 missile (The current HJ-8 missile ingame actually fires a TOW missile
) and some HF-25 and HF-7D rockets 
HM-1 Pantera - Light Transport Helicopter: Brazilian Army
The HM-1 Pantera (Panther SA 365 K) is the first version of the Panther, based on the AS365 N2. Although very similar to the Z-9, it dose have a few differences like its longer nose, different air filters over the engine intakes etc. Ingame it will serve as the light transport helicopter for the Brazilian Forces, being able to swiftly drop a full squad of troops into battle.

AS 565 MB Panther - Naval Helicopter: FNA
The AS 565 MB Panther is France's Naval search & rescue version of the AS365 N3, currently in production. The main missions of this version are anti-surface vessel warfare (ASuW), anti-submarine warfare (ASW), search and rescue (SAR), troop transport, logistic support, and casualty evacuation (CASEVAC)/medical evacuation (MEDEVAC). This version is fitted with a quick-securing 'Harpoon' deck securing device that allows it to land on and take off from ships, whatever the relative wind direction. Offered with various armaments, including cabin-mounted 20mm cannon, AS 15 TT anti-shipping missile, Mark 46 torpedo and Whitehead A.244/S torpedo.
The version we have made here is the Mk2 version currently in production (but not yet in service thou should be in the next few years) which features an upgraded cockpit, avionics, implementing an electro-optical FLIR, improve the tactical system and develop a system of self-protection.
The main role of this helicopter ingame will be light transport on maps which feature a naval presence with the helicopter being able to transport a full squad into battle, with also being able to laze targets from the air.

And that's about it, these are now going to be shipped off to be textured but with the limited amount of texture artists we have in our team I can't say how long that's going to take but hopefully we will see these new birds ingame "soon"
Cheers!
