Zulu is cool, but there is no documentation on it, even though ED makes the F-35, but I think this is an isolated case.

This could already help: NAVAIR 01-H1AAD-1

Это уже может помочь: NAVAIR 01-H1AAD-1

кого-нибудь это интересует для следующего вертолета?
 

 

Cosplaying the international legion on missions would be delicious.

Well. Despite all the guesses I think and I hope that the new chopper will either be the Ka50-Sh Night Shark Ultimate version or a modern version of the Hind. Maybe the export version with a moving turret on the nose... time will tell.

It is safe to say it won't be a redfor heli because of the current restrictions on selling their helis in Russia.

Можно с уверенностью сказать, что это не будет «красной стрелкой» из-за действующих ограничений на продажу вертолетов в России.

146% yes

Belsimtek, before merging with ED, was working on the AH-1W. They even showed some cockpit screenshots, and there was a lot of discussion about it back in 2016 or so. It was even listed on their website.

I’d be really surprised if the next bluefor helicopter isn’t the AH-1.

i recall it was supposed to be the AH1F after BST had initially been toying with the idea of doing vietnam era AH1G for UH1H engine commonality or something, and being bummed that it wasnt AH1W. Then of course it was put on indefinite hold.

The dream for me is the RAH-66 Commanche. 

 

Another helicopter I'd really like to see is T-129B Atak. Such a menacing looking helicopter and also the only attack helicopter in the world to be used by a police force.

Is there any documentation on Comanche in the public domain?

The second option is interesting, but Turkey still has the AH-1W SuperCobra in service)))

Afaik there only ever existed some (two?) prototypes of the Comanche. I doubt there is much information out there apart from published specs.

The Comanche is a must have... Warthunder released the RAH 66 before some weeks... ED must be a bit faster with such Moduls...

Wags has talked on February Q&A ED has working on other helo plus the CH-47F and AH-64D. And has on the ToDo list build a UH-60L on a future.

Still hoping for Lynx. Many variants to choose from, very versatile.

Вагс рассказал, что в феврале руководитель отдела вопросов и ответов работал над другими вертолётами, а также над CH-47F и AH-64D. В списке задач — создание UH-60L в будущем.

UH-60 would be very cool, an iconic helicopter from all angles

Mi-26, H-21, H-34, Ka-27/28/29, Mi-6 Something cool!

None of it is cool just scrap metal with no equipment

Wags mentioned in the Q&A there's "another" helicopter in the works. 

I am really hoping it's a Cobra and if it is, I plead with you ED, to start on that sooner rather than later. My assumption is you want to delay it until the Apache is more complete, but I think they can coexist now. Vietnam/Cold War era is obviously the best era for military aircraft and the AH-64D is a bit too modern for that. 

So if it is a Cobra, I say bring it on. I can't think of a single helo flyer I've ever talked to that wouldn't love to fly one. 

Wags had that smile when he was talking about the Blackhawk and he did camouflage it with we can’t do Mike cause there is lack of materials and then he said if we do Blackhawk now we would probably do Lima version with that face they maybe already making it

so my bets on Blackhawk

MH-53 is possible as a module from one of the developers (3rd party), but this is only a guess based on some information and deduction.

As for the ED, the next one will probably be the UH-60. Wags once mentioned that they have such plans for the future, so if I had a million to spare, I'd go for the Blackhawk .

[jeventy26]

I got 20 bucks that says its UH-60L..... Any takers?
