If the RAH-66 is getting “stealth” does this mean other helis are getting a radar signature?
Currently its basically impossible to lock onto them with a fixed wing radar unless they are actually moving fast enough to be picked up on PD

How many will it have then?
There’s a report here with proof of how many Stingers it could carry (it’s 28).
[DEV] RAH-66 Comanche missing weapons
It should have 12 in the internal bay and 16 on the stub wings

Which is quite funny, because some radars have special modes specificly for helicopters and should be easily picked up by radar because of the rotors
Can the Antelope please get a radar trailer too? It’s completly obsolete if someone else spawns an Osa or basically any other SAM system. 3km lock range at 10.3 is just dumb and useless.
Yup. and its very annoying. Its one of the 3 reasons I am (currently) against the introduction of helis into ASB. (even just AI Helis would have this issue and be annoying to deal with)
Based on the current available information of what it actually had capacity for.
There is a report under review, but currently (outside of the report) x 28 stingers is not planned.

Are there any infos how Bismarck will fare within the upcoming Leviathan meta? Cause there hasn’t been any devblog so far and nothing on youtube either.
Well i just realized something with WT’s Comanche. You cant retract the gun during flight. It seems it can only retract when landing. It should be able to retract whenever the pilot wants to and this would have a considerable effect on the Comanche’s stealth profile
Yeah, it’s odd that it’s the only Rank VII BB still without a dev blog after the teaser, stream and server… maybe they have something special in mind for her?

Id rather not the TT one be a worse version than the premium. It should be a stronger one with Hellfire K’s and the eventual Hellfire L’s whenever Gaijin eventually decides to add those to the game
Bismark was a myth, it never existed. :P
Ignore that wreckage at the bottom of the ocean that James Cameron did a doco on.
Yeah, just WW2 german propaganda :P
The devblog for it should also announce the Swordfish Mk2 being available again.

She isn‘t a soviet ship
Stealth doesn’t matter for helicopters, that’s why the rah-66 program was canceled.
As long as it has a rotor it won’t be stealth
it was for reconnaissance but drones replaced it for that role
Realistically it was cancelled because they wanted more money for UAV programs
Comanche was cancelled because it was already over budget and was expected to exceed the budget by 8 and it had little room for future upgradability
The Eurofighter is literally the best rate fighter in game, pulling up to 25 dps around 700/800 kph.
It’s very hard to believe that it’s underperforming.
Doesn’t make any sense, irl The eurofighter is capped to 24/25 degree of aoa and 9Gs of pull.
While in game it is capable of pulling between 14 and 16Gs at various speeds using manual Full real controls far exceeding that aoa limit.
You can do it even going at 1600 kph.
This might be true, most sources i found they all say the EF is capable of supercruising at M 1.25 at sea level while in game the max i could achieve with a clean loadout and 10 min of fuel is around M 1.09.
Do you have any sources on this?
Both Airbus and Bundeswehr indicate a max safe speed of 1530 kph at sea level, though the rip speed might be a little more than that.
In game the Eurofighter rips at around 1630 kph.
Well guess what, i too play asb even in the EF
The captor M works perfectly fine, especially with the narrow scan (which i mainly use).
I have found it to be incredibly reliable and i just laugh when i see people comparing it to the N001 saying “its just as bad” or even worse.
I mean sure, it’s not as good as an aesa radar, but it’s plenty good enough.
The F15 is a boat compared to the Eurofighter.
Only the A variant comes close to it, while both the C and E lose in a dogfight to even an Su27.
