Changes to EC-665 Tiger

In addition to rarity changes, there was also a change made to the Eurocopter Tiger.

EC-665 Tiger
European twin-engine attack helicopter which first entered service in 2003.
mwstats.info

This helicopter was introduced in the December update. From the start, the description of its GiatAM gun erroneously stated that it can destroy both surface and air targets, while in-game, it could only target surface targets.

In the January update, this has been fixed. The gun has been changed so it can now target both surface and air targets, making the helicopter much more versatile.
