Mad Dog 762 Posted April 19, 2024 Posted April 19, 2024 I recall pretty clearly when the Apache was being promoted that we were told we would get a variety of rockets, including MPSM and Flechette, and the ability to adjust the mixtures of the loadouts by using the zones. I see nothing in the roadmap about additional rockets. What is the status of this? 2 System: Intel Core i9-9900KF @ 5 Ghz, Z-390 Gaming X, 64Gb DDR4-3200, EVGA GeForce RTX 3090 FTW3, Dedicated SSD, Varjo Aero, Winwing Orion & F-16EX DCS Modules: A-10C II, A/V-8B NA, Bf-109 K4, P-51D, P-47D, F/A-18C, F-14 A/B, F-16 CM, F-86F, JF-17, KA-50 Black Shark 3, UH-1H, Mosquito, AH-64D Longbow, F-4E Terrains & Tech: Afghanistan, Caucasus, Persian Gulf, Normandy, Syria, Nevada, The Channel, Combined Arms, WWII Assets, Supercarrier
NeedzWD40 Posted April 19, 2024 Posted April 19, 2024 I'm hoping that rocket zones and additional warheads will be added when the bomb fusing system is implemented, as I'd figure rocket zones would piggy back off of that. I'd also really like to see M264s added as I don't think they were ever addressed despite being a valid warhead (the M156 is a little bit more iffy, though ballistically identical to the M151).
ETBSmorgan Posted February 8 Posted February 8 We are in 2025 and we haven't flechette on the apache. I think that the uh1 had more type of weapon than the apache.
ANDR0ID Posted February 9 Posted February 9 Would be great to see these added to AH-64 (along with APWKS...) and other helos like Kiowa.

I just don't agree with it and will continue to advocate for the addition of APKWS to the AH-64... especially since its it part intended as an add on which doesn't require airframe or launcher changes. Given the recent announcement of the F-35, perhaps ED is willing to adjust its position here too... APKWS on the AH-64 is certainly reasonable. Edited February 14 by ANDR0ID
ED Team Raptor9 Posted February 14 ED Team Posted February 14 As stated previously many many times, APKWS are not planned for the DCS AH-64D because the AH-64D variant featured in DCS was never equipped with them. Simply repeating the same posts from the other locked thread will not change this fact. Thank you. 3 Afterburners are for wussies...hang around the battlefield and dodge tracers like a man.
