Any more armament systems planned?

Nope.. nothing else will be added as far as weapons go. They will be adding the M-134 minigun as a door gun option tho:gun_rifle:

 

Also they will be adding a flare/chaff system as well as a radar altimeter

 

But as far as adding guided missiles it won't be happening. The real Huey has never used these systems. (Besides a few experimental Hueys outfitted with wire-guided missiles). Even the current day Venom is outfitted with door guns and unguided rockets.

 

EDIT: The Venom can also be fitted with the APKWS laser guided missile. It is basically a guided Hydra 70

 

The Cobra was the chopper that received all the advancements in weapons.

 

 

 

Hopefully Belsimtek will give us a Cobra someday :thumbup:

Can't wait for the radar altimeter..... will be very nice to have. The mini should be nice too. When I get shot down it's usually a mig using guns or ground based AA guns.... chaff and flares prob won't help a lot with those.

That would be a interesting weapon.

 

What puzzles me is that if will be possible to carry rockets only WITHOUT the frontal hardpoints.

I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!

I'm just getting my information from what Belsimtek has posted and commented on.

 

Here is your Huey porn:

These systems are really cool and interesting, but I highly doubt they will be touched. They aren't what I would consider "normal" weapons on the Huey. (opinion only). While I agree that some of these systems are cool, I am 100% satisfied with the systems we have, as well as the minigun added for the door gunners.

 

I personally would rather have them spend their time working on another Helo (Cobra?!) or something similar, then implementing every system ever developed for the Huey. Some of these systems I feel were experimental.

 

Here is a list of even more weapons:

The 40 mm GL (genade launcher) was for the B,C, F, M, P models (Bell 204s). If mounted in the D or H Models (Bell 205) would throw the Center of Gravity too far forward. 40 MM Grenade Launcher on the nose was never put on the D or the H models. Or at least I have never seen it.
