not planned Apache and Kiowa "datalink"

[JuiceIsLoose]

I saw on another forum post, that a user from the ED Team stated that it stated there was a system that allowed Apaches and Kiowas to send/receive targets over a "datalink". I have provided that link to this forum post here: https://forum.dcs.world/topic/282651-apache-datalink/?do=findComment&comment=4793975

Are there any plans to implement this system into DCS to allow the Apache and Kiowa to send/receive targets between platforms?

Hello @JuiceIsLoose. The only datalink type that is planned is the primary datalink system of the AH-64D, which is the type already implemented in DCS: AH-64D. This datalink was only compatible with AH-64's and not used by OH-58's.

Just to clarify, the post I made that you linked was made prior to joining the ED team. At the time, the project scope for the DCS: AH-64D module was already decided by the ED team, and I was simply speculating like many other players.

@Raptor9 Completely Understand. Apologies for not knowing when you joined the team, but I appreciate you clearing that up. And thank you for the clarification on the datalink in the AH-64D!
