AH/MH-6 Little Bird after KW

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I would like to initiate a discussion on the desirability of an AH-6J/MH-6J module for DCS - specifically a Polychop Simulations created module.

 

With the experience gained on Gaz and OH-58, via SMEs connected to PC, they are well placed to take this on.

 

Please refrain from comments like "you wont get any documentation" -   I can neither confirm or deny the existence of supporting documentation for this module,

 

For the purposes of this discussion lets ASSUME that PC could technically make this module..

 

IF we could have an AH/MH-6J......who would be interested?

+1 👍

I also hope we get the AH-1F Tow Cobra sometimes in future. Imagine what a dream it would be to have all those legendary choppers in DCS (AH-64D, AH-1F, OH-58D, AH/MH-6J).

It's been explicitly mentioned on several parts of these forums and on PC discord that a Little0Bird is out of the question. Boeing is not going to license the product nor give any information about the design of the helicopter since it's still in active service.

 

Bottom line, not going to happen for a long, long time.

Pretty much this. I think Boeing in concert with 160th SOAR issued an emphatic LOLNO.

AH-6 would be good... any of them. 

I would like mine to be a good stiff whisky when it comes to the AH-1...... superb versatility.

 

For Blue side larger utility choppers, a Merlin, Puma or NS-90 would be top of my list. 

Pave Low would go to the top of that list if it was on offer, great equipment and air to air capability..... I would be happy to use it as a basic utility chopper. 🙂

they stated sometime ago on the discord that ah-6 and mh-6 is not happening and most likley cant be done by anyone else because the 160th would laugh and say "no!" because even if it is a known airframe they have quite some confidential equipment on board.

No thanks. I am not interested in the AH-6 / MH-6 whatsoever.

 

However, for those who are, there was already an AH-6 mod brought out a little while back. https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/228394-helicopter-efm-demo/

The person who did the mod is now working for Razbam, so it strikes me that such a project is far more likely to be taken on by Razbam than Polychop.

I welcome and probably buy every helicopter, but for now I would prefere a medium sized utility helicopter like the "HH-60G Pave Hawk", "MH-60R (SH-60B/F) Seahawk" or "UH-60L Black Hawk". I would glady accept any of the european medium sized helicopters too.

wishlist: HH-60G Pave Hawk, MH-60R Sea Hawk, UH-60L Black Hawk, NH90, Super (Sea) Lynx / Mk.88, ME: A placeable animated LSE/marshaller for individual created FARPs

looking forward to: A-6E Intruder, A-7E Corsair II, BO-105 PAH1A1, C-130J, CH-47F Chinook, Eurofighter Typhoon, F-4E Phantom II, F4U-1D Corsair, OH-58D Kiowa, Tornado

Apache beware of the Sikorsky Armed Black Hawk!

Would love to see the Little Bird in DCS.

 

I do have the mod and find it very interesting.

They don't need the exact little bird cockpit they can always scan the civilian version and build off of that.

The MD500/530 would be a lot more versatile.  Their flown all over the world carry a ridiculous number of different weapon systems and the modern version is a glass cockpit with modern flight controls.  You could do a very solid AH-6 load out easily with a MD530, the AH-6 on the other hand has never carried TOWs to my knowledge.
