mwd2 Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 We need a proper support helicopter for the UH-1H... the same for the Hip. So i am for AH-1-W and Mi-24 Hind-W :thumbup: Playing: DCS World Intel i7-13700KF, 64GB DDR5 @5600MHz, RTX 4080 ZOTAC Trinity, WIN 11 64Bit Prof. Squadron "Serious Uglies" / Discord-Server: https://discord.gg/2WccwBh Ghost0815
CallsignFrosty Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 Well, I think these poll results explain my feelings toward the 'g' variant announcement!
Galwran Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 W, but S would be great too. Anyways, anti-tank missile capability is a must. It would be sooo fun to sit in the front seat and direct the pilot to hover over a certain point just a few seconds longer to get a TOW-shot :joystick:
hannibal Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 this would be the closest thing to a modern version of janes longbow... i hope there is offical annoucement on any version cobra coming soon find me on steam! username: Hannibal_A101A http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197969447179
streakeagle Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 I will buy any AH-1 variant, but I really wanted the AH-1G first. It is the perfect complement to the UH-1H and its extreme similarity in propulsion and armament should cut development time down quite a bit. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
blue 22 Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 I want the ah-1w something a little modern especially for online play the horror of getting hit by stinger missiles or a tank shell with the ah-1g is scary:spam_laser:
Nerdwing Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 AH-1W would be a first day buy for me, and me spamming friends who dont even own DCS to encourage them to get it. It'd be freaking amazing to fly the W!
sleat Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 PilotMi8 just confirmed that they MAYBE switch to AH-1S or W Variant. What do you think? P.S.: I will add the G variant to show them what the community thinks Personally, and only for selfish reasons, I'd have to pick the S first and the G second, since the G is very much like the gunship fitout for the C or D, but with a SCAS system. I have RL experience with the S and the G, but not with the W. The S and the G I could just get in and use. For the W I'd have to study! :-(
JLX Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 FWIW, my $0.02 is that if there is only going to be 1 Cobra, then let it be the W. If there will be more than one, then I'd say start with the S (TOW missiles differentiate it from the UH-1H) and hopefully do the Viper later on. But, as there are tons of other great helis vying for attention and with the potential classified issues of the Viper, 2 Snakes seem unlikely so stick with the Whiskey. I'm really looking forward to this one too! 3570K w/ 16GB, 1070 w/ 8GB @ 1440p, VKB Gunfighter/MCG-Pro & T-Rudder Mk.IV, CH ProThrottle, TrackIR 5, HTC Vive, UniversRadio, VoiceAttack, TacView Pro, DCS Menu Nav F/A-18C, F-5E, F-86F, A-10C, AV-8B, AJS-37, MiG-21bis, MiG-15bis, UH-1H, Mi-8MTV2, Ka-50, SA342, P-51D, Spitfire Mk.IX, Bf109, Fw190, FC3, CA, Persian Gulf, NTTR, Normandy, WW2 Assets

Home Fries Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Somehow, if the S or G were released first, I don't think the W would be off the table. Seems like most people here would easily buy more than one Cobra, or at least an "upgrade" price for the next model. -Home Fries My DCS Files and Skins My DCS TARGET Profile for Cougar or Warthog and MFDs F-14B LANTIRN Guide
Flagrum Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Somehow, if the S or G were released first, I don't think the W would be off the table. Seems like most people here would easily buy more than one Cobra, or at least an "upgrade" price for the next model. Indeed. Actually I would find it quite interesting to have them all - just to experience of how the Cobra evolved. How (dis)similar is the handling, the flight model between Huey and Cobra G? How much difference does the differen armament options really make in practice? Same for G vs S or S vs W. And ofc always the W just because it's badass. :o)
Ghost_Dragon03 Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 BELSIMTEK hear the people's vote [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Website : http://www.2nd-ffs.org
WinterH Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 Either S or W. G is fine too, I guess but not my cup of tea. S would be a nice in between, and can be easier to do, and W can be released later on. I think I'd get both eventually, even though I am a horrible chopper pilot :) W, even the early version, I believe would be very different what work may have been done on G, and would mean a long wait most likely. Different and twin engines, very different airframe, very different systems & avionics even in earliest W version. So a progression of S then W would be cool in my opinion. Didn't vote though, since I believe companies should be able to choose and go ahead with what they develop, for their own reasons, regardless how much we want them to develop Sopwith Camel, F-22 Rapor, X-Wing or Tie Fighter instead :) Wishlist: F-4E Block 53 +, MiG-27K, Su-17M3 or M4, AH-1F or W circa 80s or early 90s, J35 Draken, Kfir C7, Mirage III/V DCS-Dismounts Script
jetkid Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 W version. No doubts. But dreaming the viper (AH-1Z). [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] ___________________________________ Panavia Tornado GR4 is a real need for DCS

The developers ARE the ones asking.. (At least they were the ones that said there is some question on which model) They wouldn't have posted the question if they didn't want to know what we wanted... I agree they have the right to provide what they want, but they are asking for our opinions to figure out what they want to provide.. "Pride is a poor substitute for intelligence." RAMBO

I voted for W version since I would like to see another modern heli in DCS. But my recommendation is not to be so excited about this poll. It was not created by anyone labeled "BST developer" and there was no sign of their interest. I am just not sure how much it is them who asks us. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

It was not created by anyone labeled "BST developer" and there was no sign of their interest. I am just not sure how much it is them who asks us. This poll was created in response to an earlier post from Belsimtek stating G,S or W... They weren't certain yet.. Depended on the community.. (And no I don't have the link) I doubt they would have said what they said if they didn't want to hear what our opinion was.. "Pride is a poor substitute for intelligence." RAMBO

Chlebakus Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 I just dont like missinformation. This forum is quite full of it. This poll was maybe created as some response to some statement there and elsewhere, but the point is still the ones who should be the ones asking are not the ones asking. I dont want to see disappointed group of people who believed that BST wanted to know something. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
