All of them. Attack Helicopters are found in US Heavy and Light divisions. They also have impressive logistical tails and require quite a bit of shipping to deploy.Where do attack helicopters fit on the light - medium - heavy spectrum?
I think its a bad practice to rely on AHs for anti-tank work. They are great to layer-over an existing anti-armour plan and can be a key feature of a formation-level anti-armour plan, but I wouldn't want to base my anti-armour for ground manouevre elements on having AHs.
In this thread, though, when I talking about Light, Medium and Heavy AFVs I am doing so in the framework of the recent Doctrine Note which is focused on AFVs and Armoured forces. They do need to be considered in the context of the wider force, but that is the focus.
