Next DCS Helicopter Wish List

cobra please

 

sexiest attack helicopter ever

 

[pbishop]

obviously you did not read the post TonyZ a did not say it would never happen what he said, was it "would never happen UNTIL" He is right DCS does not support multiplayer in a single vehicle. Whether or not a 3rd party developer is "working on it" is irrelevant. unless the 3rd party developer is working on co-op multiplayer. These types of aircraft can never be flown effectively without multiple manned positions.

 

I did read it, but its all with the NEVER and its emphasis. The UNTIL has been discussed here and that work is being done on that. I'm not sure who didn't read what.

 

Whadda ya know, i can bold underline stuff too! :doh:

 

My tone was jokingly of course above as well, not meant in a serious tone.

[leafer]

We are getting the Cobra, Viet era, from Belsimtek.

 

I would like to fly an Apache.

OH-58

 

A Kiowa would be nice since FAC OV-10s and O-2s are long gone. I'm thinking about how much fun this could be in the multiplayer world.... players in Kiowas calling for fire from other players in A-10Cs or whatever performing the close air support... :thumbup:

This is also why you will never see an F-14 or F-15 strike eagle or ANY OTHER aircraft with a pilot and nav/gunner.

 

In the case of attack choppers, this is an issue.

 

In the F-15E the pilot can control everything on his MFDs that the WSO can on his own screens. My understanding is that this is the same with the F-14D. So you don't HAVE to have someone in the backseat to operate the aircraft and weapons. Sure it makes the workload easier on the pilot just as in real life, but even with multiplayer ability how many people will jump in the backseat and play with radars vs the number that will want to fly? The choppers at least have a gun for the other guy to play with. While I know of people who would be willing to operate as a WSO, not every pilot is going to be able find someone willing hop into the back, certainly not 100% of the time online.

 

Since two companies have said they will make an F-15E and one stated they'd make an F-14, obviously they already have an idea of how to approach the situation.

For Sure!

Possibly a AI Pilot or WSO, which could be effectively made and produced. Or have a option for both which is much more likely, a human and a ai for multiplier. and a AI for single

How come there isn't a UH-60 Black Hawk module?

 

Hey guys, first time poster, long time lurker here :)

 

Just thought I would break the ice by asking a question... How come there isn't a UH-60 Black Hawk module, or am I missing it? I don't know about you guys reading this, but personally I would love to fly a Black Hawk sim...

 

What are your opinions on this? Cheers :)

[NineLine]

I think that would be a pretty cool module, although I think helicopters are still kept aloft by witchcraft... I would still buy it :)

[xatu miller]

Helicopters are something that Insane Clown Posse would sing about... Fu**ing helicopters, how do they work? -

[kontiuka]

I thought it was alien technology. Like lasers and microwave ovens.

[BaD CrC]

Haven't been through all the posts but I'm surprised not to see in the poll the most obvious follow up to Ka 50, the Ka 52:

 

- Full Night capability

- Multi purpose radar

- 6 carrying points

- Air to air missiles

- Updated avionics

- A real Naval version

 

A dream in DCS.

 

[Hunden Ynk]

Yeah, the Kamovs sadly doesn't seem very popular. I would even get exited about a Ka-26, it's cute :music_whistling:, this one might be something for beczel...

 

[JuanEnrique]

WHAT?? NO RAH-66 ????

 

Are you serious ? i mean i KNOW they stopped making it, but that doesnt mean you shouldnt even consider making it here ? arma 3 even has it / will have it.

 

The RAH66 ? the one and only ? Comanche ? the planned predecessor of the Apache but turned out to be too expensive?

 

PLEASE DCS ! CONSIDER making the Comanche

 

Boeing Sirkovsky Rah-66 Comanche

 

pff please.... the apache is a "lada niva" compared to the comanche !

 

DO IT PLEASE! id even pay more for early access

 

Someone posted the "Cobra" saying "its the sexiest chopper out there" .... sorry but feast your eyes on this baby!!!

 

thats with the bay door open... they can be closed for maximum stealth

"wings" also can be attached where additional "hellfires" "stingers" or unguided missiles

love this puppy !

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

sorry for the spamming of pics but i scrolled through a LOT of pages here an NO ONE mentioned the rah 66 and it does deserve at least a bit of attention !

 

Greetings

Comanche

 

I would like to see DCS make the Comanche helicopter with a working cockpit or some modern type helicopter with working clickable cockpit:thumbup:

[power5]

a canceled chopper is not likely on ANY development list.

[Davis0079]

comanche was never produced nor ever in combat (i could be wrong on this)...I think you have a better chance for ED to make a clickable cockpit for the space shuttle Discovery then a airframe that was never more then just a prototype (if even that)......once again, I have very little info on the Comanche, so those last two statments could very well be wrong

 

 

on the subject of a modern (non comanche) chopper....you and everyone else that has ever posted on these forums have wished and asked for it....the hope is that we will get an american attack chopper to go with the huey (perfect opponents for the ka-50 and Mi-8 ) ...I personally dont need a longbow apache to shoot down the Ka-50...a cobra or early apache is an equivalent to the Ka-50 IMO...the AH-64D would just be overkill in my hands

 

 

 

 

 

from wiki

 

The Boeing-Sikorsky RAH-66 Comanche was an advanced five-blade armed reconnaissance and attack helicopter designed for the United States Army. The RAH-66 program was canceled in 2004, before mass production began, after nearly $7 billion was spent on the program.

During the early 1980s, the U.S. Army began formulating a requirement for the replacement of its helicopters then in service, resulting in the Light Helicopter Experimental program. In 1991, the Boeing-Sikorsky team was chosen to produce prototypes. The Comanche would incorporate stealth technologies, featuring a number of designs previously untried. It was to employ advanced sensors in its reconnaissance role, and was intended to designate targets for the AH-64 Apache. The aircraft was also armed with missiles and rockets to destroy armored vehicles. Two RAH-66 prototypes were built and conducted flight testing from 1996 to 2004. Since the cancellation the prototypes have been placed on display.

[Davis0079]

Damn your fast posting skills Power5.....I should have never stopped to wiki the facts.....o well....

[power5]

Your post included a few more words than mine as well. :)

 

The comanche was the answer to a problem that was solved before it could be completed. Not completely sure what that question was anymore. Really wish it had come to fruition though. I think the Ah-64D negated the need for a stealth helicopter to fly out and designate targets. 7 billion dollars to make 2 prototypes is one of the pinnacles of government spending though.

[Exorcet]

I think "XCS" (Experimental Combat Simulator) add ons would be nice in the future. No reason we can't have what if situations and what not. A lot of interesting aircraft never made it to service.

[power5]

And how would you like them to produce a study sim of un-manufactured aircraft? Should they go ask the museums to fire up the comanche so they can get some sound recordings and see how the controls and other bits are effected when they stop working? They could make many guesses and come up with something similar to the original LOMAC I suppose.

 

Not saying I would not love to fly a comanche, or some of the other experimentals but most of the more interesting ones are much older than the comanche and even getting semi accurate information would be difficult at best.

yeah, me too :thumbsup:

 

[schkorpio]

I know it will never happen, but hey I'd still love to fly it :)

[NRG-Vampire]

never say never ;)

[amalahama]

Ka-50 broke that rule ;)
