Anytime Posted February 4, 2007 Posted February 4, 2007 Nice, don't know much about the Rooivalk, how does it stack up against the Apache .. since they perform similar roles? http://www.virtual-jabog32.de/index.php?section=downloads&subcat=29&file=663&lang=en A nice vid of a real cool chopper.
pappavis Posted February 4, 2007 Posted February 4, 2007 Eindelik!

EagleEye Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 Thanks for the link MBot. It`s a nice helo and looks partially like the Tiger(and contrariwise). Deutsche DCS-Flughandbücher SYSSpecs: i7-4790K @4GHz|GA-Z97X-SLI|16GB RAM|ASUS GTX1070|Win10 64bit|TrackIR5|TM Warthog/Saitek Pro Pedals
Anytime Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 Its a lot bigger no? Tigers a recon helo whilst this is an attack helo as per the Apache. Thanks for the link MBot. It`s a nice helo and looks partially like the Tiger(and contrariwise).
Maverick-90 Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 Anytime, it's more likely the opposite: The Tiger is a Tank-Hunter, Recon is at best it's secondary role The Rooivalk was mainly build for Fighting against infantry, so no heavy armor is installed, they changed the armor for a better movement
Anytime Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 :book: The tiger is designed to get very close to the enemy with out being seen/heard. Both a much lighter and more nimble than the Apache and Rooivalk. Rooivalk (FAT FAT FAT to quote little britain!) maximum take-off weight 8,750 kg minimum operating weight 5,730 kg maximum internal fuel 1,469 kg Tiger (only eats Dust!) design mission weight 5400 kilograms alternate gross weight 6000 kilograms Empty weight: 3,060 kg (6,750 lb) Max takeoff weight: 6,000 kg (13,000 lb) Apache (YOU ARE ONE FATTY) Empty weight: 11,387 lb (5,165 kg) Loaded weight: 18,000 lb (8,000 kg) Max takeoff weight: 21,000 lb (9,500 kg) Also have a look at the anti-tank missile load outs. ref:arm-technology.com http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurocopter_Tiger and many others. In April 1997 an agreement was announed under which the Rooivalk attack helicopter will be marketed to the world's military forces under a joint co-operation agreement between Denel Aviation and the Franco-German Eurocopter group. Eurocopter produces a similar attack helicopter, the Tiger, but the Rooivalk is about 50% heavier. The Rooivalk will be targeted to customers wishing to buy a heavy helicopter, while the Eurocopter Tiger will be sold to those with who require a smaller machine. Anytime, it's more likely the opposite: The Tiger is a Tank-Hunter, Recon is at best it's secondary role The Rooivalk was mainly build for Fighting against infantry, so no heavy armor is installed, they changed the armor for a better movement
Maverick-90 Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 Der Tiger ist für folgende Missionen vorgesehen: Kampf gegen Hochwertziele wie Führungseinrichtungen, gepanzerte Kampftruppen, gegnerische luftmechanisierte Kräfte, logistische Einrichtungen und abstandsfähige Waffensysteme. The Tiger is designed for the following missions: destruction of high-value targets, such as command centers, armored troops, logistical units and long-range Weapon systems (maybe long range SAMs?) 4 Luft/Luft-Flugkörper Stinger bis zu 8 Panzerabwehrflugkörper Pars 3 LR (fire and forget) bis zu 8 Panzerabwehrflugkörper Hot3 bis zu 38 ungelenkte Raketen mit verschiedenen Gefechtsköpfen bis zu 2 schwere Maschinengewehre 12,7 mm im Pod mit je 400 Schuss[/Quote] 4 Stinger AAMs up to 8 ATGM Pars 3 LR (fire and forget) up to 8 AGTM Hot3 up to 38 unguided rockets up to 2 Heavy Machineguns 12,7 mm in Pods (400 Rounds each) source: official page of the Bundeswehr you see: no word of recon missions, although it's a multirole helicopter and should be capable of recon mission using it's rotor mounted sight system (can anyone translate "luftmechanisierte kräfte" ? ich kann mir da nichtmal auf deutsch was drunter vorstellen)
Anytime Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 Whats in a name: Tiger HAP : The Tiger HAP/HCP (Helicoptere d'Appui Protection / Helicopter for Close Protection) is a medium-weight air-to-air combat and fire support helicopter built for the French Army. Tiger HAD : The UHT (from Unterstьtzungshubschrauber Tiger; Ger. supporting helicopter Tiger) is a medium-weight multi-role fire support helicopter built for the Bundeswehr (German Army). Tiger UHT : The Tiger HAD (Hйlicopter d'Appui Dйfense / Support-Defence Helicopter) version is essentially identical to the HAP version, but with 14% more engine power available due to the upgraded Enhanced MTR390 engines and a better ballistic protection. It can also be equipped with the Trigat anti-tank missiles that were originally developed for the German UHT version. and last be not lease aguably the most potent version Tiger ARH: The Tiger ARH (Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter) is the version used by the Australian Army. The Tiger ARH is a modified and upgraded version of the Tiger HAP with upgraded MTR390 engines as well as a laser designator incorporated in the Strix sight for the firing of Hellfire II air-to-ground missiles. Instead of the SNEB unguided missile, the ARH use the 70 mm(2.75Inch) rockets developed in Belgium. Don't get me wrong it's very good at taking out tanks still, although I've heard the triget missile is a dud.
Maverick-90 Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 ah i see, you are talking 'bout the Tigers for Australia and i'm talking 'bout the german ones ;) well ours are ordered to be mainly Tank Hunters, although they're capable of other jobs ;)
MBot Posted February 7, 2007 Author Posted February 7, 2007 Here is another pretty cool vid, but I don't want to open a new topic: http://www.flixxy.com/bo105-helicopter-aerobatics.htm This is absolutly insane :) Would be cool to have such forests in BS...
egaRim Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 (can anyone translate "luftmechanisierte kräfte" ? ich kann mir da nichtmal auf deutsch was drunter vorstellen) I think it translates something like airborne mechanized unit (probably infantry) Like using a helo instead of an APC. In my opinion, the Rooivalk resembles to me more like a Hind... Can it also carry armed troops? Couldn't find something like that in the documentation...
