Sceptre Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 I'd love to see the AH6 Little Bird, or something small, fast and agile. The bigger ones are a bit sluggish. Just out of curiosity, which of the helis in the poll would be similar level in agility to the AH6? And would the Apache be somewhat close? The Eurocopter and the Super Cobra would be closer to the AH-6's manoeuvreability than the Apache AFAIK. Personally I wouldn't want a little bird, too slow and very easy to get killed. Also the lack of variety in buildings and a fast roping mechanic wouldn't do it justice. The Mi-24V would be a perfect choice after Belsimtek makes the Cobra. Fast, looks badass, and can carry (8)? troops in the back. RTX 2070 8GB | 32GB DDR4 2666 RAM | AMD Ryzen 5 3600 4.2Ghz | Asrock X570 | CH Fighterstick/Pro Throttle | TM MFDs | TrackIR 5

Pizzicato Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 I was thinking about this and it turns out that I would happily fly ANY helicopter. :D Give me my choice, though, and I'd probably go with the really obvious ones - the Hind, the Apache, the Blackhawk and the Kiowa. i7-7700K @ 4.9Ghz | 16Gb DDR4 @ 3200Mhz | MSI Z270 Gaming M7 | MSI GeForce GTX 1080ti Gaming X | Win 10 Home | Thrustmaster Warthog | MFG Crosswind pedals | Oculus Rift S
Sceptre Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 What? Have you heard of the MD500? Yes, I've flown it. It's fast, but not as fast as a Hind :P RTX 2070 8GB | 32GB DDR4 2666 RAM | AMD Ryzen 5 3600 4.2Ghz | Asrock X570 | CH Fighterstick/Pro Throttle | TM MFDs | TrackIR 5
Razorback Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Where is the Mil-Mi 24 HIND ??? Hi, Since few months on DCS World a lot of new airplanes/helicopters were added and more are expected in the following months (MIG-21, AH-1G, FW-190 D9, M-109K, Spitfire, F-86 Sabre,...). BUT UNTILL NOW NOTTING ABOUT THE Mil-Mi 24 HIND !!!! How is it possible ? I don't understand the choice of ED. I think a lot of simers are waiting since a long time this combat beast well known and used all around the world. It's not a brand new helicopter and all the documentation concerning this helicopter should be not still classified... Belsimtek has done a wonderfull Mil-Mi-8 HIP, why not the Mil-Mi 24 HIND ? With this helicopter you can combined attack and transport mission, a hudge number of missions should be possible.... So, since few months I am waitting for the Hind and I think that I am not the only one !!! Please think about it !! :thumbup:
Witchking Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 DCS modules take months-years to build. This isn't a simple mod to plug in and play, a lot of research goes in to make a detailed module.

It will take time. Of course it will take time, I totally agree...but is it not the time to take a decision for this helicopter? A lot of people don't really understand the WWII planes project and it cost also a lot of time. UH-1 and Mil-8 are nice but are not combat helos...Missions are limited. I saw a pubic inquiry some months ago and a lot of people are waitting for the magnificient HIND ! It's the most powerfull combat helicopter, known by everybody... If ED want to make money, go for the HIND and you will see the success of this module (as KA-50 and A-10C)... The engine sound of the Hind is terrible, weapons are devastating, missions are infinites...:thumbup: But ok it's just my opinion...:)
Silver_Dragon Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 AH-1G and Mil Mi-24 has "planned", only need wait future news. For Work/Gaming: 28" Philips 246E Monitor - Ryzen 7 1800X - 32 GB DDR4 - nVidia RTX1080 - SSD 860 EVO 1 TB / 860 QVO 1 TB / 860 QVO 2 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Warthog / TPR / MDF
Pepec9124 Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Have you considered that it may be in production unannounced to keep people from whining "Where's my Apache ?". Like ED doesn't know that Hind is cool...
Revan Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 I believe that the 3rd party company that said they would do the hind, died DCS: F-4E really needs to be a thing!!!!!! Aircraft: A-10C, Ka-50, UH-1H, MiG-21, F-15C, Su-27, MiG-29, A-10A, Su-25, Su-25T, TF-51
Silver_Dragon Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 I think BST has made them, with other planned "helos" For Work/Gaming: 28" Philips 246E Monitor - Ryzen 7 1800X - 32 GB DDR4 - nVidia RTX1080 - SSD 860 EVO 1 TB / 860 QVO 1 TB / 860 QVO 2 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Warthog / TPR / MDF
Dr_Arrow Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 BST would be the best candidate to create Mi-24 Hind as it shares a lot of components with Mi-8/17
Witchking Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 I agree...i am not a fan of the sabre, dora or mustang. I prefer newer aircraft and helicopters. The hind, apache are my favourites too. But I guess the WWII community is pretty ripe.... with a lot of interest. ED is trying to gather that consumer base as well with DCS WWII. A wide product portfolio is the best way to find more consumers in Today's niche flight sim hobby.

HansRoaming Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Westland Lynx, if you want to know why then watch this.
StormTalon627 Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 I think realistically the Hind would have the most source material available to get an accurate flight model developed. The last time I was in the Czech Republic I went to look at this place that sells T72s and on the way there a guy offered to sell me my choice of a mig21 or a Hind, so I know they are available if ED wants to get a "first hand experience" :smilewink: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Griffon26 Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 My favourite Listet is the Mi28 Havok (beautiful Chopper) But my alltimes nb1 is the RAH-66 Comanche [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Never parachute into an area you've just bombed You never have too much fuel, unless you burn.
Buzzles Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 We'll never see a Commanche in DCS though, as it never got past the prototyping stages (ergo, no "standard" model) and I suspect everything is classified anyway. Fancy trying Star Citizen? Click here!
Griffon26 Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 I think so too Buzzles. But in my opinion it would be interesting to get a Stealth Chopper with these properties. Regards [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Never parachute into an area you've just bombed You never have too much fuel, unless you burn.
BitMaster Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 (edited) I vote for a MBB Bo-105 ! Most of this AC should be declassified now and nothing fits better into the Fulda Gap then a Bo105.

runny Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) I voted for Apache A,D, and super cobra. The tiger looks so bad I wouldn't want to be seen with one. Hind is a classic but I'm not sure it would be as fun. As for classified, as long as they make up the systems and I don't catch on.. Ignorance is bliss. I'd rather have a chopper I think is realistic than no chopper at all. Edited August 28, 2014 by runny

Raven Morpheus Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 (edited) Don't know if I've said this, but I think I've commented in this thread before. I'd like to see some semi-non-combat helicopters. Such as a HH-3 Jolly Green Giant or HH-53C Super Jolly Green Giant with CASEVAC based missions/campaign or a H-34, with again CASEVAC or transport oriented missions/campaign. They'd go really well with the UH-1H, especially if other maps are made, like perhaps a S.E.A. map... Edited August 29, 2014 by Raven Morpheus
