Vote for the OH-58D for president !

[todd022]

Maybe that Kiowa crew did do that...maybe not? I'm pretty certain there's a VERY similar story of an OH-6 scout crew doing this to a VC during the Vietnam war. It's been years since I read it, but it's still my favorite book. And as much as I hate these "wish threads"...yes, I want the OH-58. There. I helped.

It's a true story.

The poster put it out there, so it is open to the ridicule that it deserves.

 

Yes, I hope Belsimtek builds this.

 

I am guessing you meant Polychop

 

Longbow is a better choice.

 

I guess you haven't read, that an AH-6 or an AH-64 (or the AH-1Z) will not be possible as it is mostly classified. It has been said many times, over and over and over again.

 

Same as the F-16 won't be coming either in the near years (due to other reasons of course).

 

I involved the F-16, as if I was to take a chance, I would say that you are one of those people who keep asking about the same thing over and over again :music_whistling:

 

Better choice for the first DCS scout ? I don't think so

 

I'd rather get UH-60 ;) But I would be happy for you guys if you got Kiowa!

 

Yeah, we all wanna fly over Mogadishu ( as I mentioned in the OP ), but not get shot down. Maybe one day.

 

A very capable recon chopper that deserves to be in DCS.

Not the most manoeuvrable, but a very desirable machine

 

Most importantly, it has the capability to work directly with fixed wing aircraft, aiding them in precision striking :)

I highly doubt that.

[Shadow KT]

I highly doubt that.

 

Who ever it is..... doesn't matter who makes it :joystick:

[Rogue Trooper]

I highly doubt that.

 

 

I also doubt it.

But Polychop will mature and have shown real promise!

I think they could be the first door less chopper with skull movement befitting such a chopper.

 

Belsimtek are more experienced and have bigger game to skin!

Belsimtek make rock solid sims, they do not push boundaries like this machine deserves.

It actually does...

Do you want VEAO to do this?

 

It matters who does it

[aileron]

Wow a compound one sided poll. Geeze what should my choice be here?

[rider11]

Been waiting to see this bad boy.

[Rogue Trooper]

The OH-58 is just one of those choppers that deserves a one sided Poll.

 

 

Without doubt though, her systems must be thoroughly modelled!

Ah, it seems like another user who just saw the thread and thought they are very clever and offended by it. Try reading trough the first page at least next time :thumbup:

 

There was a FB pole a while ago, and as I have no FB, I wanted to bring awareness to this helicopter and what it can do for DCS.

 

Nobody is making you vote. I am not a polychop member of any kind so I can make what ever poll I want (which in this case, has no meaning, but to express my views for the helicopter and anyone else who supports it)

 

This is not an official vote for anything and I don't know why people think it is. It clearly is an OH-58 thread......

 

:doh:

As it is it's the #1 module I'm waiting for. (Possibly excluding Afghanistan but you can't fly Afghanistan.)

 

Perhaps a bit similar to the gazelle but the mast mounted sensors give it unique capabilities. Also flew it briefly in Longbow 2 and liked it quite a bit. Shooting behind hills and cooperating with other aircraft is pretty far out for today's DCS. I hope the proper datalinks will be at least easily user moddable.

But you CAN fly the OH58 IN Afghanistan, when the Afghan map comes out in a couple years.

 

I remember Banshee flight supporting us Canadians in Afghanistan in 2008... they were incredible and went way above and beyond for us.

 

 

I’d also like to use this platform for FAC, as you can lase with the ball. If we get a platform with hellfire, we could do buddy lasing with that as well. Imagine a Kiowa lasing for Cobra or Apache, or even other Kiowas - all in a radar threat environment where UAVs or A10C AFACs couldn’t survive.
