Major Update 'Alpha Strike" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 4)

hope soon

Might even be a better choice than the Su-25SM3, at least per how the vikhr performed on two platforms

go make a bugreport

Kh-29T and Izdeliye 305 for Ka-52/Mi-28NM etc when?

hope soon aswell

Gaijin: nope if you want that research the Ka-52M individually that will be 450k RP

would do it

That’s fine. New ground radar at a bare minimum. Plus I haven’t played PvE heli in a minute, lol.

None of these would improve german tigers. Mk3 was made for the spanish/french version.

We want to retire them even faster now.

dosent mean that cant join but anyways germany wanna keeps using their modified civilian helis, i mean they have their cool part ngl but they are not attack helis for sure

Uhm, why would we pay for something that doesnt solve the Problems the heli is suffering from. France/spain want us to chip in to make it cheaper for them. Thank god we didnt fall for that.

Now just to decide what will replace the tiger.
Bell offered us to move the entire AH-1Z peroduction line to Germany. That would be something

well that’s the thing would you rather fix your helis issues or pay for a temporary solution to then pay even more for another heli?, i mean it depends really i dont know if they plan on using the AH 1 Z and modifying it or just not using it at all who knows

Fixing everything that is wrong with the tiger is apperently more expensive than building brand new Zulus…
That should tell you how f*cked the tiger is.
PARS furture development has also been canned.
There is no reason to burn more money on a milliongrave.
We need functional proven Equipment. Not hopes and promises from france/Eurocopter that maybe someday hopefully the UHT works.

Is there an R-73 model thats Smokeless?

bro lmao that always happens when germany and france are in a joint project dude, something very wrong happens its like they are destined to fail in something there

Rebuilding airframes requires a lo of time…

Anyway. The tiger was doomed from the start.
We wanted a heli the size of a Bo105 with firepower like an AH-64ish.

Just like many end if cold war projects, this one would gave been canned.

One of the signs that if would end horribly was when france and the UK bailed on PARS development.

Its a long history of sunken costs.

The only good thing coming from the UHT is the Osiris Optic system.

Amen brother.
