Would be lovely to see one of the Wildcats, they are such beautiful helicopters that could carry a fuck ton of missiles if the Thales Martlet will enter service. Then it could be a quit potent little helicopter. But that’s just hopes and wishes as it stands right now. With the adapted changes to heli research and the subsequently renewed interest in helis, Gaijin might look into adding some new ones. Maybe, just maybe.

If I recall the missiles have entered service, and were recently cleared for air-to-air operations as well. They would be quite interesting in game, as although they have a small warhead, they have a much higher velocity than standard AGMs and more can be carried.

Oh they are already in service, didn’t know that. If Gaijin ever adds this helicopter it would be absolutely amazing. Imagine carrying 8 Spike ATGMs and a set of ASM and AAM Martlets. Would be amazing, stuff like this could bring some “equivalents” to WT that could counter the Ka series more directly. 530m/s with a 3kg warhead is pretty hefty ngl.

Take a deep breath. Tomorrow’s dev stream will also be as vulnerable as usual.

Also moved up to 9.0
Seems they just equip on the existing AS.11 setup (with the outer pair being empty) rather than having the shorter AS.12 stubs and correct launcher.
Should have

But it’s nice to have it finally do something different to the Scout I guess, and doesn’t seem like it requires additional research as they appear to be the default loadout.

Great range too, and 1000mm of pen.

It’s possible that the Rooivalk could be equipped with CRV7’s as stated on the Magellan Aerospace CRV-7 Rotary Wing brochure unknown what year and the 2009 Magellan Aerospace CRV-7 Rotary Wing brochure
However, I have been unable to find any evidence of the rockets actually being fitted to the helicopter. I was curious if anybody else had anymore information to confirm that these rockets were tested and/or fielded on a Rooivalk.

That’s fantastic. Good job
The blurry, grainy pic I posted the other week appears to have the same installation location. It’s nice to confirm it was a pic of Whirlwind carrying SS.11 racks in operational service.

Is AH Mk.1 gonna get Arrowhead in the future? Currently in-game it is equiped with fist gen TADS/PNVS, while the reference picture shows Apache equiped with Arrowhead.

For me AH MK1 should get longbow hellfire along with US 64D
