Frag Posted November 22, 2018 Posted November 22, 2018 Am I the only one who would sell his soul to the devil for the AH-1 Cobra or SuperCobra ? An american attack chopper would be SO nice to have in DCS! There is a big hole right there! I know that the Apache material is still highly classified ... but guys ... a cobra would be the DREAM. This platform is older, less classified and I am pretty sure it would be VERY popular in the community! Who would jump on that opportunity!?
Mars Exulte Posted November 23, 2018 Posted November 23, 2018 #1 Classification is irrelevant, or do you think the current gen F-18 and A-10 in the game don't have classified material in them? #2 AH-1S Cobra is being developed. The S was a range of upgrades, though, it's unclear which specific variant it will be. Де вороги, знайдуться козаки їх перемогти. 5800x3d * 3090 * 64gb * Reverb G2

A dev at some point said "yeah we will do this one day" or an official project published by one of the affiliated dev house? If yes, do they have a development thread? I would really like to follow this.

FragBum Posted November 23, 2018 Posted November 23, 2018 Yes and even on the ED Huey page they keep teasing us,... Mi-24 is also coming too. :D Control is an illusion which usually shatters at the least expected moment. Gazelle Mini-gun version is endorphins with rotors. See above.

The S was a range of upgrades, though, it's unclear which specific variant it will be. Wags called it the AH-1F when he was on the fighter pilot podcast - that could have been a slip of the tongue, but otherwise it firms up exactly what variant we can expect (essentially the iconic fully upgraded S with flat sided cockpit, 20mm chain gun and TOWs).

Sandman1330 Posted November 23, 2018 Posted November 23, 2018 A variant with Hellfire would be nice. Experience from the Gazelle’s HOT3 shows that the AI tanks are snipers with their AT5 ATGMs and will take you out before you get close enough to use HOT3/TOW, all they need is a little gap in the trees.

I'm not against a version with hellfire capabilities (although it's highly unlikely, since we would be entering super cobra territory, if i'm not mistaken), however in this case, the more appropriate solution would be to tweak the AI, specifically their ability to spot very low flying helicopters at distance. Or, if the AIs ability to shoot and spot you is deemed to be realistic, the "problem" could be solved in the mission editor by placing less sophisticated enemy armor... My improved* wishlist after a decade with DCS *now with 17% more wishes compared to the original
SUBS17 Posted November 23, 2018 Posted November 23, 2018 Am I the only one who would sell his soul to the devil for the AH-1 Cobra or SuperCobra ? You cannot sell your soul to the devil as he does not have permission by me to own anyone, all previous deals he's made are no more lol. But its ok for people to get a Cobra. [sIGPIC] [/sIGPIC]

But its ok for people to get a Cobra. Anyway I initially lied ... already sold it to him few years ago to let me buy a new riffle without having my GF bitching about it. HO and if Belsimtek are really working on a Cobra, you guys made my day!!!! I love the Huey! I wish they would keep us informed on the development ...one liner here and there :)
Mars Exulte Posted November 23, 2018 Posted November 23, 2018 It's probably because development either has not started or is in very early stages. "We wrote some more code today" every few days is kind of useless. There won't be anything to "show" or "tell" for a couple more years at least.

CajunJosh Posted November 24, 2018 Posted November 24, 2018 You aren't the only one. I'd pay a lot more than $60-$100 bucks for the module if it would light a fire under their asses to give the rotor wing fans more options.
WinterH Posted November 24, 2018 Posted November 24, 2018 I prefer to get a Mi-24 first but highly interested in Cobra too. Like others have said, Cobra is in the pipeline, for now. It will be developed by ED. However, seeing how F-4E story turned out, it is too early to expect anything certain. From what we know, it will not be a Super Cobra but a single engine Cobra, probably AH-1F, which is pretty cool if you ask me. Probably the reason for going Cobra over Super Cobra would be commonality with UH-1H, reducing the development time and costs. 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
Frag Posted November 30, 2018 Author Posted November 30, 2018 The more I fly the Belsimtek Huey .... the more I LOVE that aircraft and wish that Belsimtek would go with the legacy Cobra. I would feel like a kid at Xmas. I also fly the KA-50, but for some reason it doesn't give me the raw feeling of the Huey. I guess that coming form the same era, and being built by the same developers, the Cobra would have a similar feel to it. For sure the flight characteristic would be different, but I am pretty sure it would feel REALLY alive like the Huey does.
Tom Kazansky Posted November 30, 2018 Posted November 30, 2018 (edited) I am absolutely with you Frag. Belsimtek proved that they know how to do it. I'd buy a Cobra from Belsimtek unseen. Edited November 30, 2018 by Tom Kazansky

Or, if the AIs ability to shoot and spot you is deemed to be realistic, the "problem" could be solved in the mission editor by placing less sophisticated enemy armor... Afaik ED tuned the AI behaviour in this regard 1 or 2 patches ago, if I am not mistaken. But I only saw something related in the LUA files and have not actually tested in in-game, though.
