That’s really great to hear! (Or read ^^)
Thank you very much! :)
You guys forgot the most missing thing of all. Per the devblog:
“The Black Hawk is an American utility helicopter-”
I don’t even care about the rest. Why is it ingame an Attack Helicopter and not a Utility Helicopter like the Hueys that come before it?
Why is the Bo105 a Utility helicopter, and the Mi-8s are not?
The Lynxes are Utility helicopters.
It matters for SP!

The Lynx’s and Bo 105’s I can get, they are after all utility helicopters. Are the Mi-8’s attack helicopters? But yeah then the MH-60 should be a utility helicopter.
Any vehicle with the ability to dump a GPS target from a targeting optic to the 114 can fire a 114L, the only difference is that the missile flies to an area and then goes pitbull, choosing a target by it’s own volition. The Longbow FCR by comparison causes the 114L to be assigned a specific target prior to launch or while in flight by the radar’s own selection, without having the missile itself choose.
This means the DAP, AH-6 or any US helicopter with the proper optics can deploy the 114L without issue.

if they would make proper EC maps i dont think it would matter much
Ingame, they’re attack helicopters for some reason. They really shouldn’t be. Their huge size and poor maneuverability are big sacrifices for being a utility helicopter, so they should get the separate classification.
This isn’t accurate. For one example, the AH-1Z can carry a radar pod and use that for AGM-114Ls. A better question is whether the MH-60 DAP could also carry a radar pod.

Alright then.
Even without the ability to have said pod, both the 1Z and DAP can still deploy the missiles.
I couldn’t remember if they had a GPS system or not but you are correct
Good video describing how it functions without the longbow.
The general gist is,
Find a target
Lase it until the FCS generates a firing solution and the “Target Data ?” indicator is removed
Fire
The missile will fly where needed and engage whatever it’s radar deems the target.

Does anybody know if the MH-60L DAP is missing ATAS (AIM-92) Missiles for defence like the other US helicopters at the same tier (such as the AH-64D)? One of the major drawbacks other than the missing gun armament is the lack of air to air defence when it comes to incoming aircraft in ground rb.
No I think it has stingers

Nvm it does have them ingame but not on the external area of the racks so you lose hellfires which is abit annoying.
some also have been given a longbow radar on one of the stub wings

That is the aforementioned radar pod.
So we will get a AH-60 for Israel with f&f, but still not the full armament for the DAP? :( That’s not cool…
