Heavy Chopper

[Spearzone]

I would love to see flyable big helicopter in the game like a CH-53 or an UH-60.

Even if it was a basic FC3 style model it would still be a great addition to DCS.

 

 

 

What do you think about it ?

A CH-53 would be killer.

NH 90 more modern but still only a troop carrier

The CH-53 would definately also be my personal favourite

In 20 years maybe.

NH90... Only when it comes with a fully operational maintenance team and lots of spare parts to replace all the corroded stuff.

 

Or maybe just as static object (that'd be way more realistic) :D

 

 

+1 on the UH-60 (any version really)

[Rainer_B.]

please remove your heavy boots before you enter the helicopter.

 

 

and +1 for the Black Hawk.

 

 

A Somali Map would be nice.

UH-60, it really needs to be ingame as is. But first I would like to see the functionality of the big birds in game improved. One the sling loaded cargo needs to be cargo. Like Ammo should really be ammo. So dropping it into a mortar pit in the mountains should actually affect the mission. Infantry embarking, and disembarking needs to be improved. Maybe some kind of coding that allows you to pick up any infantry with a health of less then 50% from a group, would be cool. Dropping illumination flares should be there. Flying bodies, beans, and bullets into hot zones, and pulling the wounded out is what utility birds bring to the fight. It would be cool to actually be able to do that. Especially with the dynamic campaign coming. And would be especially cool to do it in a modern utility chopper. Although I would prefer the UH-1H verity.

The NHIndustries NH90 is a medium-sized, twin-engine, multi-role military helicopter.

 

Concerns over performance

 

In 2010, German tabloid Bild reported that German Army experts had concerns that the helicopter was not yet ready for the transportation of combat troops. They stated that the seats were only rated for 110 kg (240 lb), not considered enough for a fully equipped soldier. Heavy infantry weapons could not be adequately secured and the cabin floor was prone to damage, citing an anecdote of damage caused by footwear. The helicopter could only land on firm ground, with obstacles not exceeding 16 cm (6.3 in). Troops carrying full equipment could not use the rear ramp due to weight-limitations placed on it. Adding a door machine gun was not possible due to space taken by troop ingress and egress; there was also no provision for fast roping or paratroop equipment.[22] In response, the German Defense Ministry proclaimed that this article referred to a prototype, not to the production model; the specifications for which were not even finalised at the time. The prototype evaluation and its results were described as a normal procedure in an ongoing design process.[23]

 

In November 2011, the MRH90 program was placed on the Australian Department of Defence's "Projects of Concern" list.[24] The most serious problem identified by a diagnostic review, which caused a brief grounding in 2010,[25] is compressor blade rubbing caused by the bending of a spool in the Rolls-Royce Turbomeca RTM322 engine due to uneven cooling after shutdown. Other problems identified include failure of transmission oil cooler fans, windscreen cracking, an inertial navigation system that is slow to align, and the weakness of the cabin floor to withstand the impact of soldiers’ boots – a problem also encountered in German service.[26]

 

In March 2014, it was announced that a Dutch NH90 had suffered higher than expected fuselage wear and corrosion following an extended deployment at sea; analysis by the Dutch National Aerospace Laboratory attributed the corrosion to design and assembly flaws. However, the aircraft were not grounded. In response, NHI Industries launched a corrosion prevention programme and enacted several design modifications.[27] In December 2014, Dutch NH90 deliveries, which had been temporarily halted earlier in the year, restarted after the majority of identified points were addressed and an agreement was made by the manufacturer to bear the cost of developing modifications, repairs, and preventive measures against corrosion.[28]

 

The operating cost of a NH90 HCV (High Cabin Version) was estimated at 200,000 SEK per hour flown, or about US$24,000, in 2018.

CH-53 would be my choice.
