Next DCS Helicopter Wish List

[Jimbolya]

i guess i'm good either way - i think what some folks forget in the DCS hardcore sim community is that their level of realism even watered down is still way above what normal folks could handle lol -

 

i'd like to see the longbow get done - from what i understand DCS/FC3 doesn't have a forward looking ground Radar model at all in the game...i could be wrong though, but i've never heard of anyone using ground radar. if that's the case simply creating the model could open up new doors...

[Dragon89]

Mi-28 Havok would be a nice addition.

[Revan]

Mi-24 Hind, AH-64D, UH-60, CH-47

[Miro]

1. Mi-24 Hind

2. AH-64D

[Stratos]

There's interest in a FC3/Jane's Longbow level Apache module??

 

Seeing how a DCS level AH-64 Apache module is very unlikely by a serie of reasons like "classified systems, too complex or a two seater chopper" I have been thinking in the possibility of a less complex module for the Apache. I'm saying less complex, not less realistic, thinking in FC3 or Jane's Longbow 2 style. What I'm saying is to reduce the systems and procedures for the module, all will love a full DCS style Apache sim, but I will really prefer a FC3/Jane's style Apache than no Apache at all. AI is now capable of searching and engaging targets by themselves in the same craft of the player (just look at the Huey AI), maybe such feature can be fine tuned in order to have a Apache gunner capable of doing his/her job properly, we're seeing new cockpits for new planes and choppers being developed, why no Apache module yet?

 

So the question is, will people back and buy (when released) a Apache module with FC3/Jane's Longbow 2 style of avionics?

 

I will do it for sure. There are tons of people still flying Jane's Longbow 2 and other Apache sims (even really old ones) imagine those guys being able to move to a 21st century sim envinroment?? The same applies for people dreaming about such sim for a long time.

 

Hope this can generate a debate that can lead for a Apache module.

 

Thanks.

Check this out. << Coming soon.

 

Also, this. << This one is a LOT of fun.

[SkateZilla]

or search for posts in 2008 that have AH64 Renders,

At one point in 2008 it was stated by ED that AH-64A blk. 49A was in development along side Ka-50, F-16, and A-10A suite 2.

 

But things have prolly changed drastically since then.

 

Combat Helo looks fantastic though.

[Stratos]

Wondering why ED dropped the Apache and If someone will try to get such a module for everyone to enjoy.

 

Now searching those pics.

[CheckGear]

Not on the list, but the AH-1F/G Cobra of the U.S. Army set in Central Europe during the 1970s/1980s.

Belsimtek are already doing the AH-1G

:D

[Swordmaster]

Bell AH-1W

 

I'll have the Bell AH-1W please or even better the Bell AH-1Z because its pedigree combines combat-proven functionality and lethality with sex-appeal :music_whistling:

Too bad, old peace of junk (IMO)

Exactly, your opinion. :)

I wish too see that too Stratos! Longbow 2 was the last good Apache sim around. A lot of people here are all begging for that Longbow.

 

ED (or another 3th party) should really consider this! Now they are making an older Cobra model, and it is welcomed with great enthusiasm. But question: before the decision was made for this chopper, who wanted this chopper? The fans? the developers? other? On top of this page there is a poll which is clearly enough tho me. soooo ED doesn't do anything with this information? offcourse they will listen to their fans, but this poll say's it all right?

Please tell me that's an April's fool joke.

 

A, A tonne of classified systems and capabilities.

 

B, You have any idea about the extremely skilled crew coordination required to actually operate the Apache? And DCS doesn't even have multiple player cockpits yet.

 

C, Did you miss the post where someone doing games for a living explained how utterly moronic it is to use a forum poll as a consumer survey?

[JOKERACTS]

the version 1.2.8 include with the IR air-to-air missile add on the gunship helicopter to increase realism as real world, they do armed with the Air-to-Air IR missile for self defence?

It took them 40 years to come up with something in the class of the Hind. :thumbup: :music_whistling:

 

It look nice tho. Thank you for sharing the video with us !!

The BattleHawk does look badass and probably is, even though it lacks the tiny frontal area and probably armor of the Hind:

 

Nice video anyway! Thanks for sharing!

Jesus that is Menacing Looking!!! I really enjoy the two Helo's Belsimtek has done for DCS.Would LOVE if they worked their Magic on a Battle,Sea or BlackHawk as well as The Hind.

ADD the IR air-to-air missile on the gunship helicopter for self defence to increase realism as real world,

 

ADD live Search And Rescue operation in the gameplay for AI and human transport helicopter player (in campaign, single mission or multiplayer), any fighter, bomber, helicopter, ground attack, transport, helicopter crashed or pilot ejected, there should be SAR operation by transport helicopter or Combined Arm as APC Recon to retrieve the pilot?, by the radio? to inform HQ?

 

in any mission gameplay allow the player to get new aircraft in airport or Aircraft Carrier after rescued and continue with mission objective? rather than just direct re-spawn in multiplayer? allow the Helicopter player to score point in multiplayer?

Since more 3rd party devs decided to go back to ww2 aircraft I think there is a lack of inspiration on their side.

Maybe this will bring it back:
