Major Update "Leviathans" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 3)

After it goes on sale for the first time

Nope. Not 28.

Why not?

Might be possible with enough pressure from the community, just like with the JA-37DI

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
