bin801 Posted June 17, 2018 Posted June 17, 2018 I like Ch-53 and other Helicopters, especially hope DCS have more support aircrafts, including not combat helicopter. Only hope is If any team want to make new helicopter for DCS, please make helicopter based on DCS standard, I call it " DCS helicopter standard". After I left SU-27 flank many years later, I came back to DCS by seeing a video clip, that is the preview video of DCS black shark. In that video a cold&dark Ka-50's blades were blow and react to the wind. Till now, to myself, I believe helicopters in DCS are closest to reality, meanly because that preview. I don't know it is true or not, but I think ED use a pretty advanced air dynamic engine. And that is why DCS's helicopters are so real and react to air. Hope all helicopters use the same engine, I call it "DCS helicopter air dynamic engine" and reach same standard. I think Helicopters in DCS are the best in flight simulation world. before DCS blackshark I fly helicopter also in FSX and other simulation. After DCS, specially after Mi-8 and UH-1 in DCS, I have no interest to fly helicopters in other FS. RAZBAM did great job in before projects, I like RAZBAM aircrafts. Hope RAZBAM team make good helicopter like CH-53 or ..... Thank you!
rassy7 Posted June 20, 2018 Posted June 20, 2018 For what it's worth, I was kind of hoping part of the RAZBAM surprise would be a heavy chopper, or a heavy anything for that matter, but a CH-53 would have been aces with the Tarawa (once it can handle choppers).

mytai01 Posted June 20, 2018 Posted June 20, 2018 Transporting Troops is a combat function, especially if they are making a hot landing! Combat Search & Rescue is also a combat function.

mahuja Posted June 20, 2018 Posted June 20, 2018 I would probably buy it. A heavier lifter than the uh1 would make a welcome module. However that would likely be contingent on progress in other (early access) releases made.
rassy7 Posted June 20, 2018 Posted June 20, 2018 However that would likely be contingent on progress in other (early access) releases made. This is true. These forums are torture. The waiting is the worst. Heck, I'd throw out $20 now for a half-modeled, primer gray helo that sounds like a Cessna. I can wait a year for that door to be totally finished or the pilot to have a face or whatever. I just want to fly the sucker.

DaveRindner Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 MH-53 special ops and rescue . CH-47D "Guns-A-Go-Go", MV-22. NH-90, S-64 Sky Crane/CH-54 Tarhee, MI-26. CH-148/S-92. However , I believe that rescue and heavy lift is not well suited to consumer combat-sim market. Those modules would be training platforms for real world.

Attack helicopters is much better AH-64A/D but not E MI-28N AH-1W Eurocopter(Airbus Helicopters) Tiger Agasta Mangusta MI-24VN I’m a former MH-53 guy so I’m kinda biased but that would be a good platform for those who want a lot of technical depth. Multi crew aircraft play would make it fun as well. Plus you can do helicopter air refueling. You also get a helicopter with the navigation, threat warning, and communications that are better than most fighters. Plus terrain following/terrain avoidance radar. I know AH-1S and Mi-24 (I forget the version) are in develop and that’s likely more popular with most.
Robert31178 Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 "However , I believe that rescue and heavy lift is not well suited to consumer combat-sim market." Well, wrong there buddy. How many people fly the Huey in the transport / CSAR role? It's a 60 year old helicopter doing it in the modern battlefield. A Pave or Chinook would totally be relevant in this sim, even with the buckled sling loading currently in ED. Also scripting makes it fun for us rotorheads. ~Rob
Sierra99 Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 However , I believe that rescue and heavy lift is not well suited to consumer combat-sim market. Those modules would be training platforms for real world. You need to join the Blue Flag server sometime... People use Huey's and Gazelles to simulate carrying troops and cargo that would exceed their real life capabilities on a daily basis. I'm pretty sure the people flying those missions using a substitute airframe would be more than happy to buy a Chinook or version of -53.

Slazi Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 If your going to do a big help, do one with anti-ship or anti-radiation weaponry. I'm thinking large, long range missiles. Also, good anti-tank would also be interesting. This would provide a unique role outside of transportation.

Robert31178 Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 You aren't. RAZBAM teased with a pic, but it wasn't in their recent surprises stuff, and there were modules spoken of or further along, namely Intruder and A-7. ED talked of a rotary module a few months back, but now that the BST/ED merger is a thing I imagine that the helo they spoke of was most likely the Cobra announced a few weeks ago. I hope that I am wrong about my speculations, but after a year of hoping I think I am with you VooDoo.
Prowler111 Posted July 5, 2018 Author Posted July 5, 2018 Currently we have like 3 able 3d meshes ready for production( 3 Helicopters, 2 heavy 1 mid), but our production line is stretched as it is, and i don't want it to be too thin, once the pertinent development depts are ready, you'll start to see some helo production, when? i can't tell with a certain date, but in the mid term, sure...
b00ce Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 Currently we have like 3 able 3d meshes ready for production( 3 Helicopters, 2 heavy 1 mid)... Excellent news! The same helicopters mentioned in the OP?

Robert31178 Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 That is good news! Thanks Prowler! Hope = restored.....many hugs!!! ~Rob
johnv2pt0 Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 FWIW, I hope you guys have a 53 in that lineup. I fly with a fairly large and diverse multiplayer group every weekend and I don't know anyone that wouldn't be pretty excited about a 53. We also have former 53 guys in the mix and do a ton of helo ops. This would be widely welcomed methinks ~
Oubaas Posted October 4, 2018 Posted October 4, 2018 Make me happy; give us some variant of the H-46 with an unrep ship so I can fly at sea resupply to the other ships. A little CSAR added in would be the icing on the cake. But honestly, I'll be buying any helicopters that anyone makes.
