Aersopatial AS565 PANTHER


Devil 505

Yeah, obviously, everyone would buy a EC Tiger. I'm sure Polychop know this as well, so I don't think it's a matter of choice.

 

But that Mi-2! There's probably nothing classified and it has that 60s Eastern Block goofiness about it. Money down the instant it's for sale! Even if I'd get ripped to shreds trying to kill anything other than HMMWVs and trucks with MCLOS Malyutkas.

And think about the helicopter hunting with the strela 2's. On the blue flag server it might actually be a decent helicopter for escorting the troop transports. It even has a 23mm gun for killing the last few infantry/trucks.

A Tiger would be absolutely amazing, but I doubt they would get clearance from eurocopter.

 

If we were to get a Tiger it would be a real dilemma which version is to be preferred.

 

The german one has the by far superior optics, the army stated that you can still read a cars license plates at 7km distance and you can look 360 degrees around, so you can target stuff anywhere and keep your eyes on stuff.

 

The Version with the chin cannon has obviously more firepower, but inferior optics, since the angle limitation and afaik also in resolution.

 

The german one is the definition of a tank/vehicle hunter, also the only one which uses Fire and Forget missiles and can salvo fire up to 4 of them.

Meanwhile the other Systems have the cannon which gives them way better options against soft targets.

 

I would probably prefer the german variant because stealth and guided missiles are my thing, but thats just me. :D

 

Do not expect the tiger to be in the works but you can always hope and wish. ;)

Well, actually it's not eurocopter anymore, now is Airbus helicopters! :D

Would be very nice if they had an Airbus license!...

My favorites ones are the RAAF version and the German version :-)

 

Polychop, what do u guys think? it's possible to you get a Airbus license for the Tiger? :D

Sweet Mother, sweet Mother, send your child unto me, for the sins of the unworthy must be baptized in blood and fear... by a Tiger (and Mi-2)!

hahahahaha

Skyrim is also my favorite game! :D

Nobody for a Puma or super Puma? This would also go beautifully with the Gazelle, and a perfect match to the Mi-8 (from a role perspective). It also is an old aircraft with probably most of the specs declassified unlike the Tiger.

The Super Pulma would be nice, but I kinda prefer the NH-90.

Why not the UH-60, or even better, why not the CH-47 or the CH-53?:D :D

 

PS: The MI-26 is too fat hahaha

AS565 and any Eurocopter/Airbus gets my vote, although I'm somewhat biased with over 2000hrs on the AS365 and a few hundred on the EC135. Fantastic machine, a real pilot's aircraft and I've never had any 'major' mechanical issues with it. :thumbup:

Real pilots stop first, then land. Runways are for models and wings are for fairies.

Quite possibly mate. I popped in to do an air test and fly a 135 back to Staverton last May I think.

Yip, we have met. I was the grumpy, tattooed engineer on shift that day! Small world!

Yeah it is a small world, bud. I hate air tests though.

"Hey, if I turn this screw you might lose an engine, is that cool?"

"Wait...what??"

"Too late, done it"
