uhoh7 Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 (edited) I notice the Cobras can't carry much more than 30% Fuel with full loadout of AGTM and rockets. Is this accurate? Update I did manage to get them up to 45% with AGTM and 38 Hydaras, but funny the next loadout up has less rockets but is heavier----go figure.

arneh Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 At least the last Army version of the Cobra, the AH-1F was underpowered and had to sacrifice fuel if flying with a full weapons load. The AH-1W has two engines, so in theory more power. However I believe the limitation is the transmission which can't handle the full power of two engines, so in practice the difference isn't big. In addition the W is heavier. The primary reason it has two engines is for safety in case one fails. I don't know how realistic the 30 or 45% fuel values are, but it seems likely that it won't be able to have both full fuel and full weapons load.
