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.)

It could also get LDIRCM iirc.

really too bad it doesnt appear to wield the aim9x, marines always lagging behind in armament

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

I really don’t want to spend another 400,000 RP on research, though…
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
