joey45 Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 http://www.strategypage.com/military_photos/2006624232131.aspx it says Longbow...Then wheres the Longbow radar then.. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Ditch3r Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 If I remember right, a "longbow" does not have to have the mast on the rotor. Longbow referes more to the avionics and flight systems within the helicopter. I have some pics of longbows from when I was in the army and they were using Kiowa Warriors for their eyes. They did not have the mast, but they were still considered longbows. https://www.youtube.com/@ditch3rgames
joey45 Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 i thought that was the Lonbow radar... oh well, so Longbow means the avionics then...

Sundowner.pl Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 No, the Longbow is the radar, but not all AH-64Ds were bought with it (costs cutting) and second: that radar is not mounted when it's not needed (right now - most of the time ;) ), this cuts maintenance hours, and stretching that equipment service life.

Ditch3r Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 I did some research and I was kind of wrong. lol The multi-mission AH-64D Apache Longbow is the next-generation version of original AH-64A Apache. With its fire-control radar, the aircraft is known as the AH-64D Apache Longbow. Without the radar, the combat-proven aircraft is called the AH-64D Apache. Both are D models, so same internal set up, but the addition of the radar actually does give it the name Longbow. Sorry for the misunderstanding on my part. :) There are some other additions to the longbow you can see from the link below. BTW I got this information here..... http://www.boeing.com/rotorcraft/military/ah64d/index.htm https://www.youtube.com/@ditch3rgames
joey45 Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 so i wsa right the first time then... the D means the Avionics and then ... so ED could have the AH64D in the game just without the Longbow... but if they do the A aswel then we could have proper Hunter Killer tactics. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.
