Flagrum Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 Or what about a "compromise"? Make the G first and then the W. I'd buy both.
msalama Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 But what I really want is a Hind-D. +1000 That would be helo heaven :thumbup: The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.
sorcer3r Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 Do not hate me. . . . I still want the G, a companion for the UH-1H I have a dream they are skimming over palm trees . . . . Vietnam scenario with transparent trees would be a huge immerson killer IMO. And with W you can easily do what you can with G. :pilotfly: [sIGPIC]http://i1293.photobucket.com/albums/b582/sorcerer17/sorcf16-b_zpsycmnwuay.gif[/sIGPIC]
Anastasiuss Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 Hm... the G well fits to the Huey/vietnam aera. Loach/Cobra hunter killer team would be very nice. Unfortunately, no little bird is in sight. But, W would be a relative new aera U.S. Marine helicopters. The S is no alternative. Would be again a aera isolated model.

Davis0079 Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 the "S" is a good in between choice....its a Q model with TOWs...perfect....it can fly a 1960 era and still fill a modern AH role.... ...if you don't want a weak AH-1g, yet you don't want a modern electronic AH-1w...the AH-1s is a good choice...I can fly it in a Vietnam scenario without it being an immersion killer, yet i think I can kill a blackshark with it too... ...although I'm still leaning towards the "W" (because I like me some GPS)....the "S" should not be overlooked.... It only takes two things to fly, Airspeed and Money.
Stratos Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 Love this two birds! I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!

armageddon Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 A Whiskey Cobra would literally be a dream come true. that's right, but until it is finished i would buy the G version of it. Who knows how long we have to wait until they make the W.
sorcer3r Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 Hm... the G well fits to the Huey/vietnam aera model. Don't forget that the DCS Huey is not the vietnam era Huey. [sIGPIC]http://i1293.photobucket.com/albums/b582/sorcerer17/sorcf16-b_zpsycmnwuay.gif[/sIGPIC]
tobaschi Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 (edited) AH-1W and AH-1W only. Because it fit's best in the current georgia environment and timeframe. It also has the most interesting weapon systems and avionic systems and you can reuse bigger parts of that code for a possible apache variant later. A vietnam variant you can do later .. when we have non transparent trees and a vietnam map .. perhapes in 2020 .. Some more reasons why the W: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JogGSyXK-Bk AH-1W stands for AH-1 aWesome ! Edited August 9, 2014 by tobaschi
Ghost_Dragon03 Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 (edited) AH-1W AH-1W first because it is more recent : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_AH-1_SuperCobra AH-1F secondly because it provides a good compromise between arming and modeling :http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_AH-1_Cobra Edited August 9, 2014 by Ghost_Dragon03 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Website : http://www.2nd-ffs.org
Paradox Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 If you guys can do an AH-1W I will be very impressed. If you can't then AH-1S is a worthy project also.

Buzzles Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 What people want and what Belsimtek deliver may be two different things... Fancy trying Star Citizen? Click here!

Metal Hawk Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 What people want and what Belsimtek deliver may be two different things... Or it can be exactly the same, 'couse it was PilotMi8 who mentioned the W version. P.S. I vote for W.
ED Team BIGNEWY Posted August 9, 2014 ED Team Posted August 9, 2014 Vietnam scenario with transparent trees would be a huge immerson killer IMO. And with W you can easily do what you can with G. Trees do not concern me at all, but I would like to see a Vietnam scenario , I prefer closer engagements, not the stand off missile attacks. The G version is better matched with the UH-1H for the type of troop drop cover missions I like to fly. It is just my personal opinion, but I can see I am in a minority group.

xaoslaad Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 W I would beta test the death out of that for them too, if they would let me.
ZQuickSilverZ Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 I already have 2 rocket slingers ( Huey and Mi-8 ). If I can't take on tanks then I believe I will keep my money in my wallet this time. I would feel like I was buying another Huey ( though less capable with no troop transport ). Just my opinion. Beyond that...... HIND. I need, I need, I need... What about my wants?

Hueyman Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 As a Vietnam era and Huey fan/enthusiast, I was happy to see the Gulf model in the pipeline ... But I sadly have to admit yes, we have too many rocket launchers for the moment, and until we have a good Vietnam map and scenarios with finely made campaing and ground units, it's pointless to have a G model in modern caucasus nor Nevada ... So I voted for the Whiskey one, which will be the counterpart of the Kamov, until the Apache comes out. Only the TOW missile capability make it a more serious threat on the battlefield than any unguided rocket launchers that all Huey gunships/Cobra/Cayuse were ... But from the only " Aircraft " point of view and flying stuff, I would go for the AH-1G , the Huey best friend in Vietnam like Gazelles and Tigres are for our french Pumas [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] CPL(A)IR ME/SEP/MEP/SET - CPL(H)
MBot Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 I went for the Sierra because I would like to see the Fulda Gap tank killer Cobra. Hide and seek between the trees with steam gauges and TOWs :)
CaptJodan Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 I'm imagining that the W will likely take longer to produce than either the G or S, and it's something many flight simmers need to remember. It's probably going to be a major step up in terms of combat systems from what Belsimtek has done so far. Having said that, waiting longer for a more modern W is something I personally am willing to go for. It takes a long time for any module to be produced, and for me having a blue side combat heli that can go into zones as hot as the Ka-50 can is worth the extra time it might take.
Home Fries Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 (edited) One more factor for the S/W camp: the biggest asset the G model had was the flechette ("nails") anti-personnel rockets used to saturate an area. Since DCS does not currently model frag damage, the huge advantage of the G may be nerfed by the sim engine. With the S/F you can still mount rockets and play the COIN role with steam gauges (though with the 20mm cannon instead of the 7.62mm minigun), but you would at least have the TOW for standoff capability.

Neon67 Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 (edited) I tried to find some info about the S variant but failed to it. Could someone list me please the features compare to the G. edit: TOW and engines I am 100% for the W, we need a modern western heli. But I would also suggest BST to do the different variants and sell it separetly. Edited August 9, 2014 by Neon67
