Avimimus Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 Mi-24 or OH-58A due to the flexibility of missions (I'm tired of hunting entire tank platoons)
Squid_DK Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 I'd go for the AH-64 series first closely followed by the AH-1Z, and then the KA-50, always liked the Hokum even the first artist impressions from NATO back in the mid 80's Staffan http://www.ipms.dk i7 9700K, Asus Z390 Prime A, Be Quiet Dark Rock Pro 4, GeForce RTX 2080 Ti STRIX ROG, Fractal Design Define R6, Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS, MFG Crosswind, Oculus Rift S. 32 GB 3200 MHz RAM

Phantom_Mark Posted April 14, 2008 Posted April 14, 2008 Airwolf would beat the hell out of them all !!!!! :joystick::pilotfly: But I guess realisticaly, That super hind looks awesome, so brutal and old school, typical Soviet of "old" style... Then the AH64D.....
GGTharos Posted April 14, 2008 Posted April 14, 2008 I prefer the one that would win: AH-64D Longbow FTW! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda

joey45 Posted April 14, 2008 Posted April 14, 2008 hybrid - the weapon platform of the MI-28N, Avionics of the AH-64D with the rotor system of the Lynx and a hint of Blue Thunder. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Phantom_Mark Posted April 16, 2008 Posted April 16, 2008 I used to work on both the Gazelle and Lynx, both are fine helicopters, however the Gazelle always made me think it would fall out the air at any moment because the engine always sounded like a bucket of loose bolts lol :pilotfly:

joey45 Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 that would be the CH-47.....or the RUS version. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

arneh Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 that would be the CH-47.....or the RUS version. My guess would be the Mi-12. Empty weight: 69,100 kg, max TO 105,000 kg. For comparison the CH-47 has an empty weight of just 10,185 kg, max TO 22,680 kg (and the CH-53 is heavier and can lift more than the CH-47 among US helicopters, ).
Mugatu Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 ^^^ That's no helicopter. Mi-26: MTOW 56000 kg CH-53: MTOW 33369 Kg CH-47: MTOW 22680KG and to put it into persepctive ...
AlphaOneSix Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 Only two Mi-12s were built, and they never went into production and didn't enter service, but it does hold a few world records for heavy lifting.
joey45 Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 thats not a helicopter thats a Hurc in disgiuse... The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

bradmick Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 Funny story about the hind, there was a guy in Korea flying around one day and encountered a Hind on the other side of the border. The Hind started doing all manner of different maneuvers which the pilot was able to keep up with without a problem in the Longbow. As it was winding down, the Longbow settled into an OGE hover and did a left pedal turn, matching suit the Hind did the same, only instead of staying in the air it descened into the trees and crashed. The thing was so over grossed it didn't have the power to perform the pedal turn. The Longbow flew off, both pilots laughing pretty hysterically. One of my IP's told the story. Brad
