MH/AH-6

[CallsignPunch]

Anyone think it’d be cool to have a MH-6/AH-6 Module and a Black Hawk Down Campaign for it? Awesome helicopter with interesting missions!

Would be a instant purchase. For sure. Love those littlebirds and flown them a lot in Arma 3.

But I think it's highly unlikely.

And since the AH, MH variants are only used by 160th SOAR, the available informations are not accurate anyway to meet the ED requirements.

 

A mod might be more reasonable. There are a lot of models for those available (Example: ARMA 3 -> MELB Mod). Not sure how well rotary aircrafts can be implemented as mods. :music_whistling:

I don’t know about that, it’s basically a Civillian MD-500D with an upgraded engine, 7 shot rocket pods and 2 miniguns, and the FLIR camera.....I don’t see anything on it that would really be hard to get info on....

 

Could be wrong but it’s a fairly basic aircraft, it what the SOAR guys do with it that makes it so wicked awesome.

Depends whether this still applies and I'm afraid it does:

 

Developer confirms Littlebird AH-6/MH-6 will never come to DCS due to classification.

[CallsignPunch]

Yeah hadn’t seen that......that blows.

 

It makes sense that they won’t release the manuals but everyone knows what it is......a 500 that some cigar smoking bada** pilot was like “you know what we should do....throw some rockets and machine guns on that MFer” :megalol:

Well, the first versions were modified OH-6 from the national guard.

I think the current version should be the A/MH-6M (Could be outdated already. Stopped reading about them).

New airframe, new engine, 6-bladed main rotor, 4-bladed tail rotor, glass cockpit, head mounted cueing system, new FLIR Pod, new defence system, M-134, Gau-19, 7rd & 19rd Rocket Pods.

 

All of those systems would need proper simulations to be fit deemed doable by ED or 3rd party devs. And those documents would need to be official declassified or provided by the airframe manufacturer.

Helicopters from 160th are modified, and a lot of those systems are classified. But mostly its secure encrypted communications, EW/ECM sensors and countermeasures, navigation, sensors,and powerplant survivability mods.

THose mods are invisible to sim pilots. A hi fidelity sim of civilian MD500, with modifications to performance , IMHO, would be sufficient

Anything classified could be handled internally by DCS systems as black box. Take SINGGARS encrypted secure radio. Limit user to ON/OFF/STBY and COMMSEC codes. Even in RL, end user soldiers are rarely trained as to internal mechanics, and are prohibited from tampering with LRU components. Some Signal Corps soldiers are trained on classified operations and maintenance. But it is not necessary for end user shooter to know the system, but they do need to know how to use it. So in DCS, SINGGARS simulation would be effectively handled by limiting user interaction.

Engine and rotor quieting system would be effectively handled with same approach. User turns system ON/OFF/STBY, and DCS just reduces noise produced within sim. There is no need to actually simulate the system, with exception of reduced power.

Point being is that classified systems can be simmed without running afoul of classified information handling laws.

[Stratos]

That would be an amazing helicopter to have in DCS, specially If we can insert special ops troops, and then support them.

A Multicrew DCS Airwolf Module would be great
