Don Rudi Posted December 20, 2020 Posted December 20, 2020 So looking at the 2021 and beyond trailer and the Discord FAQ summary, is it save to assume the AH-1 is off the table?

WinterH Posted December 20, 2020 Posted December 20, 2020 Wouldn't be the first... F-16 and AH-64 were teased with WIP cockpit pictures in 2008 I think. Apparently full fidelity Su-27 was in consideration at some point before getting a big 'ol "nope". F-4E, which still infuriates me is another example. Since 2013, the date I got into DCS, I think have heard AH-1 in dev, AH-1 not in dev cycle happen like 3-4 times. Seeing as an Apache is coming, I wouldn't expect to see Cobra from ED for a few years at least, and Kate's response about Cobra seem to say just that. But on the positive side, it may still be a consideration for a few years from now. 1 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

Buzzles Posted December 20, 2020 Posted December 20, 2020 Considering the F-4 has been dropped by ED, despite, like the AH-1, inheriting it from BST when they absorbed them, I'd say it's prolly a goner. Fancy trying Star Citizen? Click here!
Don Rudi Posted December 20, 2020 Author Posted December 20, 2020 Well, that the question about an announced module was moved to the "wishlist" section answered it - it is dead Modules/maps: all, except for the Dora My missions: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/filter/user-is-Don rudi/apply/ Primary system: i7-13700k, RTX 4080, 32 GB, Win 11, Virpil WarBRD + Constellation Alpha with 5cm extension, Virpil CM2 throttle, Virpil Ace Interceptor pedals, Virpil Rotor TCS base + Blackshark grip, Winwing Triple MFD and ICP, Virpil panel 3, 34" UWHQD screen Secondary system: Acer Nitro 5, i7-12700h, RTX 4060, 32 GB, Win 11, Virpil Rotor TCS base + Blackhawk grip, Virpil Ace Torq pedals, WinWing Viper Ace EXII stick, WinWing Strike Ace EXII throttle, WinWing PTO 2 panel 34" UWHQD screen

I should have known when they announced it, it wasnt going to happen. IIRC it was going to be belsimtek or someone but they pulled a weird stunt and claimed they were working on like 10 or some crazy amount of planes. it was obvious even then itd never happen. I just cant believe noones made an F4... smh 6 hours ago, bmbpdk said: Funny how ED and partners and the military is, in some areas, scarily alike: Everything from above your paycheck is like: Words are words, words have no value and dont trust words, especially not the "never failing-always knowing-never wrong (lack of)intelligence department".

So to answer your question: I dont think anybody knows, and if they do, they wont say it. yeah... youre spot on. now I dont get excited whatsoever about upcoming modules until theyre literally released, or I see several videos of them in the cockpit flying around and a sub forum is made (and even then..) but now until I see the damned thing, nope. I dont even get excited. oh you have pretty screenshots? so what? =(
Nipil Posted December 21, 2020 Posted December 21, 2020 Maybe a 3rd party will eventually try to do it, so not all hope is lost yet.
murgel Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 To be honest, I'm fairly sure as well that the AH-1 will be "delayed", especially as they announced the Apache, which did surprise me. I mean there are many games out there about that helicopter and thus I would have thought ED would go for the Cobra, as it would draw in more new customers to have a heli-sim that can not be found elsewhere. Still, with the work on the Mosquito, the Hind and the AH-64 covering the most difficult part, the two-me-crew I could easily see the Cobra still coming.
Mars Exulte Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 It's not happenin' anytime soon, no. Even when it was being talked about, they were not past initial planning stages, still discussing possible variants etc, so it's not like ''oh it was suddenly aborted''. It never started. That said... @murgel I'd rather have the Cobra, too, just cause I don't think it's ever been done before. Apache is probably the more popular and capable of the two, though, so I understand why they went that way. Де вороги, знайдуться козаки їх перемогти. 5800x3d * 3090 * 64gb * Reverb G2
Hodo Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 I would rather have the AH-1 first before the AH-64. Mainly because we need more Marine attack helicopters. 5

nessuno0505 Posted June 8, 2021 Posted June 8, 2021 Ah-64 makes more money than Ah-1, that's the mail reason IMHO
Viper1970 Posted June 16, 2021 Posted June 16, 2021 So sad! I really love the Apache but an AH-1F TOW Cobra is my personal dream. I always loved this bird and it was the backbone attack helicopter of the US Army for so many years here in Europe. It would also better fit as a counterpart to the Hind we have now. 4 CockpitPC1: R9 5950X|64GB DDR4|512GB M2SSD|2TB M2SSD|RTX3090|ReverbG2|Win11Pro - PC2: PhnIIX6 1100T|32GB DDR2|2x2TB HDD|2x GTX660 SLI|Win7Pro64 ComUnitPC1: R9 3900XT|32GB DDR4|2x2TB HDD|RTX2070|Win11Pro - PC2: PhnIIX6 1100T|16GB DDR2|2x2TB HDD|GTX660|Win7Pro64 ComUnitPC3: AthlnIIX2 250|2GB DDR2|2TB HDD|5950Ultra|2xVoodooII SLI|WinXPPro32&WinME - PC4: K6-2+|768MB SDR|640GB HDD|Geforce256DDR|VoodooI|Win98SE

Hammer1-1 Posted July 9, 2021 Posted July 9, 2021 We WERE supposed to get an AH-1G which was almost finished once upon a time, then they started a poll that would change it from the G to the S/W version. I dunno though, they announced they were going to start working on an Apache in early 2007/2008 when BS released so you might see it in another 10 years or so. 1 Intel 13900k @ 5.8ghz | 64gb GSkill Trident Z | MSI z790 Meg ACE | Zotac RTX4090 | Asus 1000w psu | Slaw RX Viper 2 pedals | VPForce Rhino/VKB MCE Ultimate + STECS Mk2 MAX / Virpil MongoosT50+ MongoosT50CM | Virpil TCS+/ AH64D grip/custom AH64D TEDAC | Samsung Odyssey G9 + Odyssey Ark | Next Level Racing Flight Seat Pro | WinWing F-18 MIPS | No more VR for this pilot.

ustio Posted January 2, 2022 Posted January 2, 2022 Now that we have Enigma server we really need a TOW capable F cobra 3
IcedVenom Posted January 6, 2022 Posted January 6, 2022 (edited) I want an AH-1J Sea Cobra so we could get Mi-24 vs AH-1J Iranian helicopter vs. helicopter scenarios. Either that or AH-1F. Edited January 6, 2022 by IcedVenom
Rick50 Posted January 10, 2022 Posted January 10, 2022 I figure we'll get a Cobra. Eventually. Maybe 3 or 4 years from now. Maybe even a couple different Cobra variants, like a SuperCobra, an 80's US Army TOW Cobra, and maybe, if Vietnam eventually happens, an original early Cobra with minigun and 40mm chin turret. Maybe. But I think Vietnam is, well, it's a ways off.
