AH-1Z didn’t get its JAGM missile once the ah-64e was added, but I would say nows the time to revive the marines helicopter line, making the ah-1z worth getting. As of right now, it sits at 12.0, but with the addition of the JAGM to it, it could be set to 12.7-13.0. Im not completely sure how much it carries, but i would estimate 16 too, unless it surpasses the weight limit of the aircraft. I will include multiple photos/vids of the AH-1Z with the JAGM, hopefully we see it added next update. (In the 2 last images, you can see it carrying the 4 rack JAGM on both pylons per wing, so it could most likely carry 16 of these, making it 12.7 due to no DIRCM.)
Watch them add a completely new AH-1Z that will have LDIRCM, JGAM and 9X instead of giving them to current AH-1Z as modification.
Anyways i really hope to see LDIRCM and JGAM on AH-1Z as it would be unique to US for a while
well to be fair, the AH-1Zs are old ass vehicles, not even built new, they were just upgraded from AH-1Ws, the marines are always getting the short end of the stick when it comes to budget, kind why the marines had to put all their tanks into storage when the F-35s were forced upon them, they just couldn’t afford to keep both, and the funny thing is, that the marines were the only ones who kept track of their entire budget during audits last year, meanwhile the army, navy, and air force all had some money missing somewhere
I found a article that listed all the lauch plateform of the JAGM 179A, the AH-1Z can lauch but also the MH-60L DAP, the OH-58F and the AH-6 Little bird too can lauch it i guess in, respectively 16/8, 8/6/4 and 4/2, the MQ-1C can also have it but i understand the AGM-114 Hellfire being more equal to other missile being fire from the Orion/ Long Wing is beter for in-game balance, but the other Heli really shoulg get this missile so we finally use theese in ground RB. I really hope they do it because ATP I really going to start beliving they do it on purpose to give an advantage to russian vehicules. pls Gaijin
I can see the jagm-mr (SALH) being given to the Ah-64D, Ah-1Z and remaining at it’s current BR, but I don’t think it should go to the rest. I’m not gonna pretend and say I play a lot of 10.3/7 and 11.0/11.3 but for the times I do, it’s decent at 11.3 and as you go lower, it gets better
i hope it comes as a new helicopter at same br as ah64e
would be nice if it had aim9x but would like it too have red wolf missile would allow for attacks far from battlefield
