German Helicopter Tech Tree - Current and Future Discussion Thread

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:

  1. it sounds way cooler
  2. it is the official designation since the end of 2013

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.

yes actually:

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’.

yeah fair point. but seeing gaijins naming convention… they might just go with KHT or maybe who knows… actually get this historically accurate

It’s a joke

My hope for next major update German can get heli with mounted chin gun. Im fine if the heli come from other nation. Current UHT really disadvantage without mounted chin gun and only got cope stinger. Even UHT got 11.7 while this heli cant run and kill slow maneuverability Su25 who flying near this heli (since the stinger really cope and trash compared to TY-90)

Either a Dutch Apache or Spanish/Aussie Tiger

Spanish one great addition, the armament same as current EC-665 Mk II from France TT, iirc.

yeah i made a suggestion for that recently

I do oppose the German need helicopters with a turret, at present, there is even no a helicopter with a movable turret in German heli tech tree, whereas, I think a Tigre helicopter with it should be added in the tech tree, but I don’t know if German ever had the tiger HAP or other variants with turret equipped
