3rd unanounced helicopter speculation

[Looney]

VEAO dropped all the helicopters for the moment. Some group took over from them, so we'll have to wait for their announcement.

[FSKRipper]

Isn't NH-90 announced by VEAO?

 

Panther mentioned a few posts earlier is a military variant of the Dauphin.

 

The NH-90 was dropped to my information. I love new gadgets but let's be honest, the FM and avionics would not be more than an educated guess or advertising. No military manufacturer would give his new and most precious data away. (Much to my regret you can see that even the AH-64A is kept under such restrictive information policy that a third party developer decided to make a training module for the army without the chance of creating a DCS module. Unlike ED who managed it to create a "public" A-10C Version, this studio signed a NDA which won't allow use of their gained knowledge about the Apache.)

 

The Panther (or military Dauphin) would be interesting. There are so many variants (of the Dauphin) from different manufacturers that there simply must be some kind of reliable information regarding the FM.

ANYTHING HELICOPTER THAT HAS MULTISEAT WITH A COPILOT/GUNNER THAT WILL BE IMPLEMENTED AT RELEASE OR LATER..!!!

[QuiGon]

OH-58 Kiowa. Can work together with A-10.

Would be a great team! :thumbup:

 

Concerning sales one would benefit from the other...

 

But it's not an Airbus chopper...

[NeilWillis]

Some group took over the NH90 - I wonder who would fit that bill? Already involved in helicopter modules, working towards clearance from Airbus industries, not in competition directly with VEAO...

 

I have no idea who that might be, or what the unannounced 3rd helicopter might be!

The NH90 project which got dropped by VEAO sounds indeed reasonable.

[borchi_2b]

About projects of other teams, we do have the policy to not disrupt the projects of other teams and offer help to them if they ask us.

 

So I think it is a clear statement on the VEAO NH90 project.

Thanks for the information. But does that mean, that the NH90 can be ruled out? If VEAO dropped it and Polychop would build one on their own, then it wouldn't be against the policy ;)

A friend knew about this regarding NH-90:

Who knows!?

[borchi_2b]

As stated before, we are in negotiations with Airbus, also about a 3rd helo. Which one it will be, might be disclosed withing this year. We have to see how well negotiations go and if we get a clearance for this beauty, as many obstacles have to be taken.

 

What I can state is, that the 3rd one will be of thier current production line and is not outdated like an aluette.

 

Further infos will follow before christmas I hope or around that time when we will see how far we got with everything else and if we are ready to make any official statement on nb3.

 

I hope this helps you guys a bit

OK... Obviously I missed that hint concerning the new helo... :music_whistling:

 

Edit:

So my bet goes for the H135

2nd place: Super Puma

Hi,

 

If you need any detail photos of civilian H135, H145 t2 or BO 105 let me know. I also have access to AS350, 355 and 365's (including the Dauphin C!)..

 

Cheers!

[Pikey]

And for reference attached are Airbuses current military lineup

 

We'd be mad not to hope for the NH90. But good luck in the negotiations either way it will be glorious :)

[Toxic]

I want the Tiger!

 

Although I am obviously more of a fan of the Apache Longbow! (US Army Vet)

[Derk]

I have some good real life and fs9/fsx memories of the super puma, courtesy of the RNLAF and Dirk Fassbender respectively. It would be my new main platform for sure. Although flying through a storm in darkness to secure a broken down apache on an abandoned russian airfield will be more fun in dcs and from the cockpit.

 

Okay, now i want one.

[Looney]

Get the BO105 and Gazelle done first and then we'll look into the third one :)

 

Good news all around, things are looking up for christmas!

[Flycat]

So it's another wishlist thread?

I'm prefer on Kamov series dual rotor and I agree with Looney's word.

[Rogue Trooper]

Flycat, you must mean a KA-29 and especially a KA-29TsU!

 

Well done my man you single handedly sorted out the Russian chopper shortage and plugged the target/navigational ability gap at the same time.

 

What a dude!

 

I agree, Yes we need a KA-29 (TsU)!

 

please?

[BronzeYardNo11]

Airbus doesn't mean anything to some people, eh?

 

An Astar would be cool to have.

It's not a wishlist thread! It's a speculation thread based on the facts we have so far! That excludes every non-airbus chopper like the ones from Kamov!

So, it's a current gen helicopter. That's nice news! :D

Maybe we will really see an NH90 or a Tiger. That would be really awesome, but I have some doubts regarding classification, especially for the Tiger.

[emg]

if we get a clearance for this beauty

Now we know it's definititely not one of the Puma/Cougar types :D

Edited September 25, 2015 by emg

[borchi_2b]

Any bird would require a clearance from Airbus ;-)

 

So no helo of the Airbus company is really rulled out

[D1cK3n]

I would like to have the Tiger or NH-90, because we have no realy Hightech Helikopter in DCS except the KA-50

[Midnight]

 

The Alouette III would be a great all-rounder, and info for this chopper should be readily available.

[Aginor]

Meh, the Alouettes are pretty little helis, both the II and the III, but they would be a bit boring in DCS in my opinion.

Give me a Super Puma gunship instead, that's more like something I'd like. :)
