JanHe Posted Tuesday at 09:35 PM Posted Tuesday at 09:35 PM (edited) As I am currently conceptualizing a campaign for the Kiowa Warrior, I have been wondering how the Kiowa configuration options and weapon choices available in DCS could be utilized to somewhat realistically depict certain timeline variants. Particularly with regard to the available cockpit version and the performance of the MMS, I wonder how early a Kiowa Warrior equipped with AN/ALQ-144 and without APKWS or L2MUM could realistically be dated. Would a late or even mid-90s scenario be realistic here, or would that be too early for the version of the Kiowa Warrior available to us? Are there any other available configuration settings or weapon restrictions in DCS that would support the representation of an earlier version of the helicopter? Edited Tuesday at 09:39 PM by JanHe 2
Coota0 Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago (edited) The US never used APKWS on the KW. We had L2MUM when I deployed in 2012. We picked up the birds in country and we were the 3rd unit to get them, so L2MUM had been on the aircraft since probably 2009 or 2010. No, using L2MUM and APKWS in the 1990s would not be reasonable.
