Making Russian Tank Protection more realistic

That helicopter isn’t even in WT, let alone if it’s a specific wired version of the AH-1J.

The Apache? Yes it is.

It is a Tow capable AH-1J modified to use Maverick , it saw use but limited , funny enough , a random Basiji filmed its launch by accident .

Sounds like it could be a wierd but cool event heli maybe

I was correct in it being a modification then.
Would be a neat event helicopter.

and then we can see Mavericks hitting with Funny sounds and them not killing targets

Also on a helicopter, I bet their range is 5 - 8km, but they are at least F&F if it’s not the laser ones.

firing them from new cockpits in sim will be neat!

Still not the only Heli to do this :

While the true range is still classified, you could get closer to 20km.

Only because russian tanks are not modeled correctly, as they would obliterate them if they weren’t given magical bonuses.

Hmm… shoudlnt be thst much shorter than an air launched AGM. But starting alt and manual loft would be bigger factors

it is the Maverick , not just Russians in this case

Maverick range is up to 23km when going mach 0.9 at altitude.
And “Russian” tanks don’t have magical bonuses.
They have a slower reload than IRL for improved realism just like all other tanks.

@Morvran Maverick range on A-10 at 4km is 11km.

We have the AH-1Z in game. This wouldn’t be an issue at all.

Earlier gen though arent they?

You understand the published numbers and the real numbers as well as improvements that have been made make these numbers obsolete right?

It was tested on AH-1W

They were used in Combat on the AH-1J.

I said it , we also don’t have it
