In about 20 minutes I am going to make this decision, but I want the input of the community to decide. Should I wait for the VEAO T1A Hawk, or buy the Huey now?

Posted

I have not flown the Hawk yet, so I can't really speak for it, but I would wait on the Hawk until it gets updated with an EFM. For now it still has an SFM so the flight model will feel like something from Lock-On.

 

The Huey is currently my favorite helicopter in DCS. The systems are relatively simple compared to the A-10C so I can focus more on enjoying it and less on remembering how everything works.

 

The Huey is only effective in combat against soft targets. With AI controlled door gunners on each side, you can rain destruction on enemy infantry and trucks. You can also take out some of the lighter armored vehicles, but it is almost impossible to take out a T-55, so don't even bother with tanks. The Huey is very vulnerable against anti aircraft. You have flares but no laser or missile warning system so it is best to avoid anywhere with known air defense.

 

The Huey also has the nice option in the loadout screen of removing weapon pylons, which gives a more civil aviation experience. I like to fly around in the included NASA paint scheme like this.

Yeah, but it gets the EFM - and it already feels pretty good in flight - even with SFM.

Ubuntu eh OP???? The linux meaning or the african meaning boet?

 

The huey is awesome I must say, take a free flight put on some Hendricks and its like being in Nam, hehehehe. The huey is a lot of fun, but twitchy, but i suck as a pilot so just about everything is twitchy.

I am waiting for the Hawk to be released with all the flight models finished. The huey on the other hand is almost complete, still some bugs from ED's side AFAIK but it is a very nice module and a great helicopter to fly, nice campaign some nice single player missions and the doorgunners are lethal with miniguns fitted:music_whistling:

A great chopper indeed, but it still lacks a mech thermal / friction damage model. Maybe someday :music_whistling:

The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.

I have both, haven't flown the Huey this year, fly circuits in the hawk every time I open DCS then go for a flight in the hog. Can't wait to see what advanced flight model is like in the hawk
