biggest thing is missing its LDIRCM

and its missiles are under preforming because they look like hellfires and gaijin hates that

It has the model on the wingtips, so it most likely will get it in a later dev server.

Instead of the outer pylons limited to the Hellfire Ks, it should instead be JAGM-MR (laser only). The Hellfire Ks suck a lot, especially in top tier.

OP updated

179s are supposed to be mach 1.5 = 545 M/S

I was searching for a source that Gaijin would take that states 1.5m but could not scrape anything yet

Has the wrong engine as well

Currently labeled as T700-GE-701C when it should be T700-GE-701D
(probably placeholder)

Should have the APR-39E with C-M frequency and bigger library of threats

yeah the flight model is copy-paste from AH-64D

the C-D band is not unique to the APR-39E, the current RWR that is installed on the AH-64A/D should cover those bands as well, but there is a reason why gaijin removed this and APR-39E would be no different.

from what i’ve seen the have time to target of around 26 second for 8km, which is much faster than the current AGM-114K
so the stat cart might be wrong

Whatever reason they pull out of their ass is wrong, the literal manufacturer says C to M for the APR-39E…

appears to be working

At this pace, we might see meaningful changes for the AH64E , if the subject gains enough traction.
Maybe even JAGM for AH-1Z? That would be nice , I dont particularly look forward to 410k RP+80k RP for a JAGM Carrier.

Denied by Smin

It might not be too late to change that, it is the dev-server after all.

Honestly the AH-64E should just replace the AH-64D in the tech tree. The difference between the A and E is enough of a difference in the tech tree. The D vs E is just stupid. If they decide to add the Longbow hellfire, that’d justify the D in the tech tree.

I agree with this, but some people that enjoy the 64D (if they exist) , might want to hold on to it.
I would love for this to happen , but it likely wont.
