VMFA117_Poko Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 18 Apaches make a battalion supported by 13 Bell OH-58Ds. Since plans are to implement AH-64A, not AH-64D Longbow Apache Bell's helicopter acts a very important recon task supporting Apaches' operations thanks to its MMS system. The Mast Mounted Sight employed on the Kiowa helicopter carries day and night acquisition sensors and laser rangefinders. They also support a highly accurate navigation system that provides precise target location data. Those helicopters equipped with the MMS have a distinctive ball on top of their rotors. True that maybe it's not to ask this question but I can't wait... Will Kiowa be present in DCS in future? If so how is it gonna be cooperating with player piloted Apache? Or maybe this unit will be totally overlooked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramstein Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 If you really saw, in real life, how very small the OH-58D Kiowa is, you would crap.. if you had to fly into battle with this small machine, but fast and agile... it looks much larger in pictures. it is freaking tiny... :joystick: ASUS Strix Z790-H, i9-13900, WartHog HOTAS and MFG Crosswind G.Skill 64 GB Ram, 2TB SSD EVGA Nvidia RTX 2080-TI 55" Sony OLED TV, Oculus VR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avimimus Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Yes, we have one hung up in the museum. It makes a 1.2 story room look 3 stories tall! Certainly, it would be fun to fly. It is nice to have to be spartan with ammunition and also realise that if you're in a situation where you find yourself using ammunition, things are going to go much worse than thermopylae did (if you get my drift). It is also nice in that it has a transport capability (as well as target designation, and a variety of light weapons you can squeeze a couple of people in the back and some cargo).

amalahama Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Well, I don't think it is spartan.... In fact, I think Kiowa is more advanced than AH-64A anyway. Regards!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avimimus Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I probably shouldn't have been making references to Greek history if I wanted to be understood, anyway. I personally prefer the A (easier to model and better visibility) Showing the aircraft's scale: An interesting modification (if it isn't faked): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundowner.pl Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Not much sense doing troop transport in flight sim, it would be just damn boring. The transport helos should be left to FPS games like ArmA where they truly belong.

VMFA117_Poko Posted October 23, 2007 Author Share Posted October 23, 2007 There's no need to have Kiowa flyable. Who would like to fly it? It's about getting realistic Apaches ops. Thanks Wags, I will stay tuned then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest AWHeck Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 red, blue, blue... Come on ED - fair's fair - red, blue, blue - must be red after that ... (^ 55 it says on Wiki I think - ED has a separate website of their own WHICH STILL ADVERTISES LOCKON NOT DCS.BS) I would like to suggest a Ka 27 add-on. Prolly not too difficult to impliment and I, for one, would enjoy a SAR mission with Ka 50 support to pick up a lost soul, or taxi some Spetznaz behind lines . The Helix would give an opportunity for Naval operations in the fleet. And I could even emulate FSB Border Guard work going after gun runners along the coast.

Yellonet Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 The only question that you have to ask yourself after you've determined that there is enough material and data to make the perticular aircraft flyable is: Is it really worth 9 months? i7-2600k@4GHz, 8GB, R9 280X 3GB, SSD, HOTAS WH, Pro Flight Combat Pedals, TIR5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
