Next DCS Helicopter Wish List

[WinterH]

My wishlist here probably won't be the most popular one, but here goes...

 

Since Mi-24 and AH-1 are more or less confirmed, I'll look at other helos I would like:

 

- AH-64A: Fits with an 80s to early 90s Mi-24P and AH-1F or W duo nicely, but it still has advanced toys to play with. D would of course be quite welcome too.

 

- Mi-28: I know it's not happening but I'd love seeing it. I'd like a Mi-28N but wouldn't say no to older types either, and perhaps they'd fit better to setting mentioned above.

 

- Ka-52: Also I know not happening, but hey, one can dream right? :P

 

- A couple versions from the Littlebird family would be cool to see.

 

- Mi-2

 

- PZL Sokol

 

- A-129 may be... just so that there will be another blue side attack helo and that it is kinda obscure. T-129 is a lot more advanced but frankly, I don't think that it's too likely find its way to DCS.

 

- AH-2 Rooivalk, because... why not? :P

 

- Mi-26, Mi-6, CH-47, CH-53, HH-3 etc. those giants should be quite a different experience than what we have.

 

- Various versions of Dauphin, just because that thing is pretty :P

AHEM! UH-60 pls

[Pilot909]

A modern utility helicopter, and successor to the UH1 Family in US military service.

 

UH60L blackhawk. Prime USer US Army, with this Variant being one of the most proliferated derivatives abroad in export of the Blackhawk family.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

or if possible the MH60S Knighthawk, which would be quite fitting for Naval & amphibious Operations alike, and would offer glass pit unlike the Uh60L.

 

 

 

 

 

^ THIS RIGHT HERE ^:thumbup:

[Pilot909]

No UH-60 on that list? That is my vote.

 

UH-60 people unite!!!

[fargo007]

We really do need a modern lift helicopter, so I'll throw in for either the UH-1Y Venom or the UH-60.

 

Everyone would jump on either of these with both feet, hard.

 

The 60 has civilian variants, so it should have no classification barriers in terms of obtaining the flight manual.

Hi Folks,

OK stick with me here, the R22. Why? because For those who are going through heli training, the only R22 available in any sim worth taking a look, is in FSX which is out of date and the physics are pretty bad. It would be great for me and possibly others to have a realistic chopper trainer, akin to the plane trainer, the Yak. Although I am aware that it's Digital Combat Simulator, not Civilian Trainer Simulator!

 

There are a few armies that use the R22:https://www.airliners.net/photo/Dominican-Republic-Army/Robinson-R-22-Beta-II/589681 though.

 

I would certainly buy the module to familiarize myself with the controls for check rides in real life. I recently took a few hours flight instruction in an R22 and was hovering, albeit not perfectly, after two hours. I would put that down to DCS and using the Huey. It really helped me understand the more complex anti-torque flight dynamics/etc.

 

Anyone else out there accumulating their heli hours in a Robinson R22, that feel the same way?

 

 

I can only see a R22 being done if another customer pays Eagle Dynamics to make them a Sim just like they did with the Yak-52.

A lot of people want a helicopter or an airplane only to attack.Few people enjoy flying transport "Utility" helicopter.If you see for example on buddspyke Red has Mi-8 for big and fast transporting trops.Blue has only heuy.you can not win a battle only with the heuy.And if you see the past days everytime RED is winning.I think dcs need a need big utility helicopter.UH-60 or even better a ch-47.

Agree

[OnlyforDCS]

If it's anything other than the Hind, Im gonna be pretty damn upset.

I do not think we see any helicopter on 2019.but i hope so

[DeathAngel1]

Havoc will be great :)

[vincentb]

Oh yeah, definitely on board with the U/S/H/MH-60. Loving the MI-8, but a western equivalent of a utility helo for SAR/troop insertion/extraction/etc would be awesome.

[DerRedMax]

Any chance we will ever see a flyable AH-6 Little Bird? Oh and we need some TALON Laser Guided Rockets to go with it to.

I would say because:

 

A)There is no proper dedicated blueforce attack helicopter, especially not one that served in a post cold war era ( AH1W or AH64A and/or AH64D if possible) would scratch that itch.

 

 

B) the DCS:W environment insn't really well suited for dedicated utility roles unless using mods. There needs to be far more expansion in this area from ED to make this truly viable as a dedicated role. Not that i wouldnt buy a Utility helo like a blackhawk although i would like to have a gunship configuration option for such a utility helo with something akin to the DCS huey utilizing at least mini-guns and unguided rockets.

WE really need a Longbow

 

WE really need a Longbow to compete against the BlackShark.... and soon the Hind is coming as well, I heard there is a licensing issue I hope that is not true.

helicopters dont compete with other helicopters, thier attack helos, not air superiority ( i dont even think such a thing exists let alone doctrine for it.)

 

also in many ways the longbow has many more features than Ka50. most notably Black shark doesn't have fire control radar or radar guided missiles.
