Tank50us Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Since we have the UH-1H, one has to wonder why we don't yet have the AH-1G Cobra in DCS. Sure, it isn't the most capable of the Cobras, but it is an attack helo designed to escort the UH-1H in Vietnam. Given that it uses the many UH-1 Components, the only real challenge for ED would be creating a proper flight model for it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bies Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Cobra, depending on variant, would be a Mi-24 counterpart in Cold War scenarios and MP servers. Both Vietnam AH-1G with miniguns, grenade launchers and rockets to escort UH-1 and Europe 1980s AH-1S/P/E/F with anti-armor missiles to hunt for Soviet tanks breaching Fulda Gap, together with Gazelle M and Bolkov-105. I would guess it can be developed after the Apache. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and it can even use the simplified gunner of the UH-1H since in the AH-1G, that's all the gunner really controlled was the chin mounted gun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple Cold War helicopter would take a fraction of i.e. Apache development time, money and man-hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
