Pizzicato Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 The Tiger would be mindblowingly awesome. I don't see if happening, for obvious reasons, but I'm happy to dream until the crushing truth of the actual announcement. :D i7-7700K @ 4.9Ghz | 16Gb DDR4 @ 3200Mhz | MSI Z270 Gaming M7 | MSI GeForce GTX 1080ti Gaming X | Win 10 Home | Thrustmaster Warthog | MFG Crosswind pedals | Oculus Rift S
Cowboy10uk Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 Now we know it's definititely not one of the Puma/Cougar types :D We may still have hope on that though, as it was on VEAOs list for a long time. I appreciate that they have since removed all Helos from that list, but I'm still quietly confident that we will see the Puma turn up once more. I love that aircraft, as I was pretty much brought up with it, my dad was a Puma Crewman for pretty much my entire childhood, and then I worked on them myself when I joined up. :) 33 Sqn, & 230 Sqn Cowboy10uk [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Fighter pilots make movies, Attack pilots make history, Helicopter pilots make heros. :pilotfly: Corsair 570x Crystal Case, Intel 8700K O/clocked to 4.8ghz, 32GB Vengeance RGB Pro DDR4 3200 MHZ Ram, 2 x 1TB M2 drives, 2 x 4TB Hard Drives, Nvidia EVGA GTX 1080ti FTW, Maximus x Hero MB, H150i Cooler, 6 x Corsair LL120 RGB Fans And a bloody awful Pilot :doh:

Vivoune Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) The Tiger would be a top seller for sure, but I doubt anyone can pull it off. I'd pay quite a lot for this module if anyone did. What would I give for a Caracal though. Edited September 28, 2015 by Vivoune [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
King_Hrothgar Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 A Tiger is what I'm hoping for, followed by a Ka-52, AH-64E and Mi-28N later on. In regards to secrecy, I have to wonder how secret these things really are. They are current production aircraft, but they are also offered broadly on the export market to just about anyone with the money to buy them. So are they really that secret?
emg Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Any bird would require a clearance from Airbus ;-) So no helo of the Airbus company is really rulled out I was joking that the Puma family is not a beautiful family of helos, but I guess everyone has their preferences ;)
Carlos Sultana Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) If not the Tiger: Armament Guns: Giat M621 20 mm (0.787 in) cannon pods. Rockets: 68 mm (2.677 in) or 70 mm (2.756 in) unguided rockets. Missiles: Matra Mistral air-to-air missiles. AS 15 TT anti-surface missiles. HOT anti-tank missiles. Mk46 or Whitehead A.244/S anti-submarine warfare torpedoes. I assume it's not the NH-90 because that went to Red Wing Sim (?). Edited September 28, 2015 by Carlos Sultana
King_Hrothgar Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 That one's pretty and carries missiles, I could go for that.
Vivoune Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 A NH90 would be great too. They're all such great helis. I think DCS could benefit greatly from having more utilitarian aircraft. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
BronzeYardNo11 Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 About the license negotiations with Airbus..... negotiations with Airbus.... ...another helo of their [AIRBUS] current product line at the moment too.... ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ Give OH-6 ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ
Hueyman Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 I'm pretty sure it'll be an EC225/725 Caracal or AS555 Fennec... But as a French Navy enthusiast, I'd love tose the Panther Step II, or at least Dauphin N3 ! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] CPL(A)IR ME/SEP/MEP/SET - CPL(H)
Stratos Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 Wondering If the Alouette is a possible option. Used in tons of countries. I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!
King_Hrothgar Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 He said current Airbus production, none of the Aloulettes come anywhere close to meeting that description. The most recent of them was discontinued 30 years ago, Airbus didn't even exist back then.
Stratos Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 This is why I asked about the Alouette III being that old. I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!
VincentLaw Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 But as a French Navy enthusiast, I'd love tose the Panther Step II, or at least Dauphin N3 !For US fans, the Dauphin could also have a USCG HH-65 livery. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Ultra Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 I think they want to and are trying to do the Tiger. They mentioned it in one of their interviews, but I think they probably won't get the OK for it from Airbus due to classified material.
King_Hrothgar Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Maybe, maybe not. Just because something is current doesn't mean it's a secret. And there isn't anything particularly special about the Tiger in terms of capabilities. It's very much on the mediocre side of things when compared to other current generation attack helicopters.

True, I'm purely guessing. I do hope they are able to do it, it would become a favorite module of mine. I'm a sucker for attack helis. :D
King_Hrothgar Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Me too, I want them all starting from the earliest AH-1's armed with TOW's up all the way up to the Ka-52, Z-10 and AH-64E.

Any facts of yours to illustrate this bold statement, or you were just trying to embarrass yourself in public? :music_whistling: 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Mud, wind and fire.
sibiriantiger Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 I think that Lynx helicopter would be great. A navy version with torpedos and/or antiship missiles. Its very beautiful iconic helicopter. ------------------------------------------------- Лучшее-враг хорошего das Bessere ist der Feind vom Guten
