now that it can actually fly...... how about the Sikorsky S-97 Raider

 

 

It's got one more rotor than the Black Shark and is about as fast as the Warthog haha :)

I think Mi-24 is the best choice for the next helicopter module. With this Choper we can do all in the battlefield. Rescue, attack, transport troops. I hope after multi crew become implemented then come this Heli for DCS

The things I'd do for an UH-60M/MH-60R combo.....

As much as I'd like to see a D model Longbow, I prefer they stick to airframes that aren't classified and can be as realistic as possible. LOVE to see an earlier apache though, a cobra, or a KA-52!

Someday we'll look back on all this and plow into a parked car.

The D is propably as much classified as the A-10C. The complete AH-64 manual was available on a website a while ago. The "classified" part isn't the most predominant issue... If we get any Apache I guess it will have the flight and mission control double cyclic and the mega "PlayStation controller" for the weaponry?

That is much more of an issue, I guess. A few hundred(!) Buttons in a specific HOTAS! After I saw that I was wondering how we could operate such a full clickable pit in real time, even with a Warthog HOTAS plus a Gamepad Controller and the keyboard it would be "challenging" to say the least. :D

Honestly, the "not as real as possible" doesn't bother me as long as it only nerfs things like Radar frequency modulation, sensor range to certain degree, ECM counter measures or non-realistic IFF codes, like in the A-10C... And even if the Hellfire seeker has a narrower tracking angle compared to real live or the gun range and accuracy are different by 10%, I wouldn't care, and certainly nobody would notice, if he wasn't an Apache pilot IRL?

Apache would be great!

 

But am I the only one who would like to see DCS UH-60 Blackhawk?

True enough. I just prefer the most exacting models we can get, it's what brought me to DCS.

 

An Osprey would be the bees knees! Also, I COMPLETELY second a Blackhawk!

Someday we'll look back on all this and plow into a parked car.

A Black Hawk would be cool, but at the moment another utility helicopter is "b" priority for me.

Any western attack helicopter (AH-1U or W, AH-64, Eurocopter Tiger, BO-105, Lynx etc.) that is capable of attacking armor/has guided missiles is my "a" priority, second best would be an armed Scout, like Gazelle or the OH-58D... If we got any of these a MH/UH-60 or CH-53 or even an Osprey would be a great addition.

With the current Huey and Mi-8 getting cover by Ka-50s I'm desperate for a western addition that could replace the black shark, first.

If ED ever makes a PFM/ASM of the AH-64D, I'll have to dig a slit trench in my office and buy a two year supply of beefaroni.. only to find next time I take a break that my wife has moved out and my dog is bonding with the neighbors.

It's a good thing that this is Early Access and we've all volunteered to help test and enhance this work in progress... despite the frustrations inherent in the task with even the simplest of software... otherwise people might not understand that this incredibly complex unfinished module is unfinished. /light-hearted sarcasm

I'm confident the AH-64D will come eventually. I guess they couldn't do it before dcs 2.0 is out due to the dual seater configuration and the ground radar. Plus so many people want it, from a market standpoint, it makes a lot of sense to make this module. The only thing that can really be an obstacle to developing a module is classified avionics and systems. I don't think this helicopter has any but I could be wrong though...

I would personally rather have an AH-64A...and I have no idea why, lol. I'm not into classic airframes, and the AH-64D is superior in every regard except power-to-weight ratio. I clearly need to meditate and resolve this internal struggle.

The Little Bird is my choice, the attack variant:

Though kind of arcade, the closest I have found is in Arma III. I don't like the FSX helicopters, any of them.

Who's making the OH58 Kiowa?

 

Clicked on Steam today and saw an advert for DCS. In the introductory video Wags mentioned modules that were available and ones that were being produced. At the end of the modules being developed list was the MI24 Hind and OH58. I believe Belsimtek may be making the MI24 but I haven't heard anything about the OH58. Is it really going to be a module?

The OH-58D was on Belsimtek's list of projects. They have been very quiet of late and the latest news was they were working on polishing up their beta projects to, I assume, get them to release standard. I too am excited about a DCS OH-58D Kiowa and Mi-24P Hind F.

Truly superior pilots are those that use their superior judgment to avoid those situations where they might have to use their superior skills.

 

If you ever find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

It is indeed quite quiet around belsimtek... Maybe we will get surprised with something new when DCS 2 comes out (hopefully soon - fingers crossed) :D

the introductory video of Wags over DCS: W has a little outdated (1 year and half old), and some of the projects related on them has not confirmed or a press announcement over your develop (Su-27SM, F-15C, L-29 (¿L-39?), AH-1G, Mi-24, OH-58) hardcore modules. Await to some news can confirm or deplete them.
