Sport Posted July 10, 2016 Posted July 10, 2016 I'm not much of a helicopter guy, but a Little Bird option in the sim would be a TON of fun. It looks like a fun chopper to fly - nimble, lightweight, fast - and is a mainstay of the Special Operations forces in the US Military. From a tactical standpoint, this would be a great fleet addition next to the UH-1 and allow us to recreate the "I love the smell of napalm in the morning" scene from 'Apocalypse Now' with UH-1s, OH-6s, and F-5s! Just seems natural Come check me out on YouTube! Twitch! Have a listen to the Alert 5 Podcast - YOUR source for the latest combat flight simulation news!
Tirak Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 The next two helicopters BST has said they're working on are the Mi-24P and the AH-1W. I'd rather one of those than a Little Bird. 1
EagleFox Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 Pls be objective. The little bird would be most uselles helicopter in DCS currently.
Yurgon Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 Both the Gazelle and the upcoming Bo-105 seem to fit the same niche that the OH-6 fits in. Don't get me wrong, I totally love the Gazelle and will get the Bo-105 for sure, but I'm not sure a third nimble scout chopper with SpecOps potential would be that great an addition to DCS. Since I like the Loach and think BST have done outstanding work with their helos so far, I'd surely get the Little Bird as well (if they promise to deliver a manual right away :music_whistling:). But in terms of variety and MP usability, Hind and Cobra would be much more interesting. Plus, with both choppers pilots should massively benefit from prior experience with Huey and Hip.
WinterH Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 While I would love a little bird (had an OH-6 model when I was an elementary school kid), I agree the sentiment that at this point Hind and Cobra are more exciting, now, at any point they would be more exciting but, more so now that we have (about to have) two scout / light attack helos, but only one attack helo and even then a special snowflake with single crew. 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

Sorry, hard to take someone seriously when they can't be bothered to use spell check or take the time to type out the word, "please." Both the Gazelle and the upcoming Bo-105 seem to fit the same niche that the OH-6 fits in.

But in terms of variety and MP usability, Hind and Cobra would be much more interesting. Plus, with both choppers pilots should massively benefit from prior experience with Huey and Hip. Don't get me wrong, I'd much rather fly the Hind and Cobra than the -6, just a thought for another light-attack/recon/etc chopper for sometime in the future Come check me out on YouTube! Twitch!

Rogue Trooper Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 For sure, and I believe I say this for the majority of DCS simmers, an A~lite premier league attack chopper is at the top of the list of wanted modules. First the Hind and then we desperately need the AH-1W.... and it must be the AH-1W! But in the meantime or in between, nothing would give me more pleasure than an AH-6 (OH-6).

FalconPlot16 Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 there is already scout chopper gazelle, littlebird will be waste of their time mi24/ah1 is so much better and worthy

agentdarnell Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 I have a lot of sentimental attachment and actual a lot of time strapped outside several in real life. I would love one as well. Dont get me wrong, i wtill want several attack helicopters as well, but i still want an ah-6. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Tomhatter Posted August 16, 2016 Posted August 16, 2016 OH-6 WOULD NEVER BE A WASTE OF TIME. Please don't compare it to the Gazelle.

Yurgon Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 I know exactly what you're thinking. And you're right! How on earth could they show the T-tail on the front image and the V-tail on the side image? Well, it was the 80s, so that's that. Then again, the show did swap the chopper somewhere in season 1, so in a way the depictions are accurate in their inaccuracy. :D

Hadwell Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 (edited) Need another gunship like the KA-50... maybe a KA-52, hind, cobra, apache, A129, comanche, eurocopter tiger... the huey, MI-8 and gazelle are not really that great as attack/support platforms...

Angelthunder Posted August 20, 2016 Posted August 20, 2016 After watching Youtube videos of Arma 3.It would be fun to fly the Cayuse or the AH-6 Littlebird.You could drop Special Forces on the ground,or with the Loach.You could direct AI or Multiplayer AH-1 Cobras to attack different targets on the battlefield like they did in Vietnam.:thumbup:
