Debio Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 (edited) many fans here seem to be on the fixed wing side. i see that there are many helicopter fans here, but no poll for helis. so, here it is. i listed those that are full-time combat birds. i would like to see an Apache or Longbow, but also like the idea of a Mangusta or Tiger. thanks for coming... *edit: you can vote for more than one.

blave Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 I voted for the "A" model Apache because, as someone said "somewhere else" (probably in this forum), the D model's Longbow stuff is classified and past a certain point all would be guesswork. I'd rather have a very accurate A model than a less-so D model. At least, I think that's what I want. Part of me thinks that if the D model "study" largely emulated LB2's Longbow functionality, I'd be a very happy camper... But the main part of me (I think) wants accuracy. 8^) Dave.

agamemnon_b5 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Ever since I've played Hind from DI I've been itching for a true to life simulation. With all the avionics data readily available, (probable) lack of any classified systems, battle locations such as Afghanistan, the Ogden War, Cambodian-Vietnamese Conflict, Libya-Chad War, Iran-Iraq War, the various Balkans Wars, Russian Peacekeepers and South African mercenaries in Sierra Leon among other wars. I'm all for a down and dirty guerrilla war near the Khyber Pass :joystick: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo81 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 I really want to try out the longbow then later maybe the hind followed by the eurocopter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vortex Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Later done the line I wouldn't mind a Huey once we have some attack helicopters for support in multiplayer. Missions to sling load some artillary/vehicles or drop off then pickup troops off without getting blown out of the sky. Machine guns out the doors blasting down a river at 10 foot would also be cool.

MrReynolds Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 I think i'm the only one who doesn't care about 100% accuracy when it comes to the longbow :music_whistling: Give me a friggin working radar system :D I miss popping up - scanning - hiding - classifying and then launching a ripple of hellfires!!!!

thinkr Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 AH-64D LONGBOW all the way... I'm glad everyone else is with me! Blaze has it right. Modeling similar to LB2 would be really set me into a buying frenzey... I'm afraid I'd be sheerly disappointed if they didn't:( My Second choice would be the one listed below. Check out these Models as soon as I saw this I gasped It looks so pretty! Add rockets an something to shoot an this would be sweet! Maybe you guys can ask this guy to use parts of this model? or make a cooler one! You'd have a huge headstart! Or I have no idea what i'm talking about just ignore me a look at the pretty pictures. I know the cockpit looks a bit sad but its a start lol. http://secure.simmarket.com/perfect-flight-ah-1z-king-cobra.phtml http://flyawaysimulation.com/article214.html Modded CapLoz HeliosV2.1_1280x1024.zip 2x 1080p 22"Monitors, Saitek X52, Saitek Combat Rudder Pedals, Trackir5, Win7Pro Pro 64Bit, Intel Q9550 @3.8Ghz, EP45-UD3L, 8GB Ram, Nvidia 560Ti 2GB, 2x 500GB Velociraptor Flaming Cliffs 3 DCS:A10C,KA-50, Huey, Mi-8, WWII Euro 40+ Supporter, Mig21 Falcon 4 BMS IL-2 Sturmovik: 1946 Take on Helicopters Arma 2 AO + PMC + BF All Addons Series Arma 3 EECH & EEAH Medivac & Search and Rescue 4 Series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nasder Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 I'd enjoy the CH-47 for some reason. There's something about dropping down on a hot LZ, get the group and get out of there, I would probably enjoy doing. /Nasder, "I came, I saw, I got shot down."

ARM505 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Whilst I too would love to see something like the Longbow, it's actually mind boggling how complex this thing is, and even more so to simulate an AI front/backseater. I can see why ED chose to simulate a single seater attack helicopter, a very wise choice. For those who want to get a clue just how demanding operating a Longbow Apache is, and how much crew co-ordination is required, read the recently released 'Apache' by Ed Macy, detailing the Royal Army Air Corp (something like that!) involvement in the Helmand province in Afghanistan. Frankly, I don't think a fully realistic representation of what this helicopter can do is possible on todays PC's, let alone a plausible CPG representation, where the dismal levels of even the best AI would really show up. The book is a good read (obviously they deal with the Westland Apache AH Mk1, the British version, but the concepts are the same), and the part dealing with the evacuation of Royal Marine Mathew Ford makes for very exciting reading. Worthwhile. My point then, is rather go for the A model Apache, rather than the latest and greatest Longbow version, there's a much better chance of getting something a little closer to reality.

MrReynolds Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 ^^^ Ed Macy's book is the first one in a while I didn't put down from start to finish. I'll have a go at recreating some of those missions when I get the time. Reading Apache Dawn at the moment, carries on with another squadron after MrM's left. More very interesting reading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chillspider Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 The bell 412 is a utility chopper that i could only see as AI chopper and this poll is for client side chopper. I vote for A model for same reason a lot of the info is classified. But the longbow radar would still be nice to have.

d0ppler Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Despite of what the most of you guys want, I think adding utility chopper like the UH-60 or Bell 412 and doing CSAR missions would add a whole new dimension to DCS. In that way we will satisfy people who have passion for aviation rather than blowing up stuff.
