Mate, you can tell just by looking at it that it’s a mock-up, it doesn’t matter what some private posts on social media.

At the very least it would need hazard markings in order to be flight worthy, but there are no markings at all.

The aircraft doesn’t have a serial number on the side as every Tiger prototype did.

The wheels don’t match any of the prototypes, and there’s not even any suspension on the front wheels.

There was a prototype displayed in 1991 but this was not it.

This is the real one, PT1 (F-ZWWW)

According to DE WIkipedia F-ZWWT is a UHT.
Then again the entire Eurocopter Tiger project is both FRA and DEU at the same time.

PT3/9823: Volle Avionik (inklusive Autopilot und Navigationssystem), Jungfernflug am 19. November 1993 als F-ZWWT. Der Umbau zum UHT begann im Februar 1997, daraufhin als PT3R bezeichnet. Im Juni 1999 Raketenstarts auf große Entfernungen, nachts und unter widrigen Sichtverhältnissen, Wüstentests auf der Bateen AB in Abu Dhabi im September 1999. Diese Maschine ist seit August 2013 im Hubschraubermuseum Bückeburg zu besichtigen.

Here an archived article showing F-ZWWT in the museum.

And here F-ZWWT in James Bond: Golden Eye (1995)

Because HAC never truly existed. The closest it got was PT3 but this was part of firing trials for PARS 3 LR but as far as I’m aware this was after HAC was cancelled. This was loaned to France as part of the firing trails, you can even see the original German three tone paint scheme.

Mentioned in leak.

Yay!

I am normally not a fan of squadron vehicles because they take extremely long to research (come on Gaijin, there’s so many squadron vehicles, you gotta pump the max RP gained per cycle), but, in this case, I don’t mind too much, since I don’t have any French helis and the grind there is even worse, so…

27

So it is a straight downgrade from HAD block 2? Also according to the leak, it is a squadron vehicle, the only purpose of this heli is to make some quick money from people who will probably GE it an maybe give people lesser grind toward the heli tree (I mean they need block 2 anymore consider this does the job too).

Or some unrealistic thoughts, they will remove the fire and forget and put it in 9.7 (HAP 10.0 - cannon)

28

France recently got a premium apache so i don’t think people care that much about this heli for grinding the tree, but it is useful if you didn’t grind helicopter tree and want a heli for top tier+ without putting more money and have time.

its likely they remove the HAP all together, because it is physicaly not able to use HOT missles,
So they would be basicaly just replacing it

30

No thats likely not the point, the fact that it has FNF missiles means it’s essentially a lot stronger and more suitable for top-tier battles than that Apache. Unless you are using Apache as a sl grinder (which I doubt anyone would buy it just for that)
I don’t see the point of that premium Apache anymore, you can research heli with ground too.

31

Why would anyone spend GE on a squadron helicopter (which is absolutely free after a very short time) when they can buy a premium Tiger HAP?
