I’m pretty sure the image of the Tiger with LFK-NG is photoshopped, this is the actual image:
And while the LFK-NG was tested, the only thing tested about it was its engines. The guidance and warhead were not complete before the project was canned, so I doubt it’s enough for Gaijin to add it.
Eh depends the H145M does get door mounted miniguns, it is not much but sth, but dont know if they csn be used together with spikes
Well if you say it like this, It somehow looks like it…or not? Im not sure. Forget about this project.
But this H145M looks really interesting. Nice skin, Gajin should be introducing this to WT. What ATMG is it using here?
Also spike
My guess is that the Bundeswehr is waiting to see if the Invictus wins the heli competition, and if the US is open for exports on it
I have no doubt the army probably wanted the AH-64, considering it’s good track record and the fact it’s operated by the Netherlands would present an opportunity for further cooperation. Though I have to imagine that a new anti-tank helicopter is fairly low on the priority list hence the decision to go for the budget option of the H145M. Add to this the uncertain future of the attack helicopter in general, this decision did not surprise me.
@Abaddon75 As promised here is a google drive link with all the info on the Tiger I have: Eurocopter Tiger - Google Drive
btw one of you guys watched the german military docu on helis?, i dont know what they smoked , but so many old or wrong information, they even said germany joined france and spain on the development of the next tiger https://youtu.be/uh8UROzy9GM?t=3291
I must say, there is some nice footage even if some of the info is wrong.
That is certainly true as well, seeing the immer workings how they get constructed, is fascinating
From the color seems like for training purpose. But this heli can carry up to 8 Spike missile.
there were already life fire tests
btw @Godvana could you rename the UHT to the KHT:
I know it’s generally called the “Kampfhubschrauber Tiger” which in theory could be shortened to KHT, but do you have any primary source (from Bundeswehr, Airbus, Bundesministerium der Verteidigung, etc.) that refers to it as the KHT? If so, I can make a report for it. It would need to be proved to Gaijin that KHT is the actual name of the helicopter rather than just a description.
The problem I see is that “Kampfhubschrauber Tiger” is just a literal description of the helicopter; Tiger attack helicopter. I don’t see the shortened form used anywhere.
yeah but UHT comes from its 2013 designation of
Unterstützungshubschrauber Tiger (i did not type that lol i cant)
so the
Kampfhubschrauber Tiger should shorted to KH-T
but i do see your point, ive tried to find official abbreviations for it but so far havent gotten the abbreviation on any gov website
I will add it to the list of reports and have a look around to see if I can find any reference to it being called the KHT.
Not German but a nice walk around of a Fr*nch Tiger :)
So, the actual official name is KH Tiger, which make sense as the T in UHT just stands for Tiger. By calling it Tiger UHT (or KHT) it’s actually being called ‘Tiger Support Helicopter Tiger’.
