The OH-1 is an option.
UK also uses AH-64E so both will get it when it comes. The Kamovs are cooler than most helicopters too so I do hope more of those come to game soon
If you want minor nation to have as many helis as US and USSR tell their military to make some
The AHEAD on the PGZ is not as reliable as you would expect, I find they’re slightly better at killing helicopters and about the same for jets. Compared to the Sgt York’s HEVT it’s like firing the Wish edition.
Only having 40 APDS rounds to defend yourself against anything bigger than a light tank also massively blows.
Only 23k off my F15E and every match i see Gripens its just free food lmao. All fun and games u til they are on my team and then we get nuked. Top tier meta is so boring lol, i need to see something new pls snail, literally its the same jets with the same playstyles i need something that makes players play differently. Or new game modes i beg
And what exactly can the AH-64E do that the AH-64D can’t (that would actually matter for the game)?
I don’t really know much about Kamovs, but I am pretty sure the USSR doesn’t need better KA-50/52 variants and the Ka-35 apart there aren’t any other Kamovs worth adding anyways.
Pretty sure theres a Ka-52 with a chin mounted 30mm would be kinda crazy
Better engine, new rotor blade for better flight performance all around
Improved radar and sensors
New missiles armaments like JAGM-MR, Spike
The coolest thing is that it can control drones like RQ-7 or MQ-1 while in flight
Fair, but not really enough to warrant the addition
Won’t really make a difference with how the game works
Not in the game yet and probably hasn’t entered service yet either
Hell no, we don’t need more Helis with Spikes
Yeah, uh, this is War Thunder tho
kh25mt isnt in game and can be carried on alot of planes such as the su25t, sm3, su27sm, mig 29smt and more
With the absence of MMW, the AH-64E for Britain would likely not be the most useful at this time, as it would just be a sidegrade to the AH Mk1 (AH-64D).
The better/more useful addition would be the Wildcat as its armed with Martlet missiles which can be IR guided. Giving us a FnF option
And many of them do have options that have yet to be added. So im not sure where you are going with this.
could be like how light tanks and ships have scout drones/seaplanes. spike heli is just your opinion
also, you looked at all the different improvements seperately. once you look at the full vehicle, it makes sense to add.
JAGM-MR has been tested IRL, and JAGM is in service

quite a bit of those options are US and USSR helicopters though. so theyll come to US and USSR as well anyways.
also arent you guys getting JAGM’s? those are an upgrade over hellfires, especially the MR which has a tri mode seeker (mmw can be not added but will have IR and Laser)

I’d absolutely say it is.
I’d want the Indonesian AH-64E for Japan for example and that has only the engines over the D as far as game relevant differences go, without the weaponry upgrades they had in US service. (Though compared to the Japanese one it finally brings MAWS to the tree too)
So I can absolitely understand someone wanting the US one that brings even more new content to the table.

would like to see another AH-1Z added at higher BR with full modern stuff.

Regular JAGMs aren’t an upgrade over Hellfires and again, the MRs haven’t entered service yet
what does it matter? they exist, theyve been tested
Many are, but many arent. In fact the only US helis outstanding for Britain is the AH-64E and an AH-60 built by Britain , the other non British is a BAE MI-24D. The other 10 or so suggestions are all British designed and built. Mostly variants of existing vehicles we already in including a number of Lynxs’ but all great options. Interestingly the Wildcat hasnt actually been suggested yet. I may have a suggestion in my future.
Yes, JAGM is the main AGM planned for the AH-64E. But I have no idea about the JAGM-MR. But the JAGM are SAL+MMW iirc so will only be SAL currently as they have no plans to add MMW.
The main reason at the moment for the AH-64E would probably be for Brimstones no JAGM with teh absense of MMW, but would still be SAL only, just with better range
So for FnF capability we are better off with the Martlet on the Wildcat which is an 8km range missile with SAL, IR, IIR, INS and GPS guidance modes. Also the Wildcat can carry 20 of them :P

fair enough for UK. but for many other nations its mostly US and USSR airframes
i think the wildcat would be a great addition though, could have a whole naval heli update with that
Yeah, they exist just like the T-14 Armata, AbramsX, KF-51, etc.
These missiles not having entered service means there is no way of knowing if they will actually end up being used in the configuration they currently have been tested in and on the vehicles that they have been tested on or projected to be used on so far.
Plus, how is gaijin gonna get reliable info on these things anyways?
