The small indie company has to make money somehow with such fierce competition, content packed and playtested updates, multiple up-to-date gamemodes, top notch anticheat and lightning fast bugfixing, its hard work

i have literally no problem locking on it with a strela
hellfires
thats kinda the point of prems but yeah i understand
Strela has this contrast mode. When set “auto”, it always uses the best locking method for a certain target.
You’d expect the title “The Duke” to be for British vehicle or smth.
i have literally no problem locking on strela with my GBU-10
More of a collector’s vehicle than anything. Doesn’t do anything that an AH-64D already does arguably better. Might be fun for grinding SL on heli EC, but that’s about it.
Ah yes, this won’t be broken AT ALL….
They should name this upcoming update “America first”

Ok but the French got a BB, a tank AND a premium pack fighter, what about Cinquième République?
The reason why this thing wasnt adopted was the focus change to the war on terror. RAH-66 tech was used on the black hawks during the kill bin-laden mission, radar absorbing materials as well as “noise killers”. The stealth worked well enough.

When the Sikorsky RAH-66 Comanche program was canceled in 2004, the US military was left without a stealth helicopter program—or so it seemed as far as the general public was concerned. In reality, the Pentagon did have a stealth helicopter program, one that would only be obliquely acknowledged when a high-profile mishap revealed the program’s identity. That program was the “Stealth Hawk,” a stealth-modified version of the UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter—and the mishap that revealed the program’s identity took place during Operation Neptune Spear, better known as the raid that killed terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden.
The Stealth Hawk began with the ubiquitous Black Hawk helicopter, a utility platform used widely throughout the US military. The Stealth Hawk modifications, which took place in complete secrecy, were made to reduce the helicopter’s detectability—that is, to reduce its radar, acoustic, infrared, and visual signatures. Put simply, the Black Hawk was modified to be harder to see, hear, and pick up on radar or infrared tracking.

That would make it 13.3.
The more things change the more things stay the same
I’m fully committed to buying this once you confirm the expansion of it’s actual armament combined with fixing the things that are objectively missing from it. It’s one of my favorite helicopters but I’m not going to spend any money until it’s done proper justice.
I would say wait for a sale too, with the new sam systems helicopters might become very obsolete, like totally unusable type of obsolete, especially ones with no fnf missiles.
Devblog already mentioned stingers and FFARs
I’m so excited, Gaijin…you have no idea! about this addition to the game! But seriously “The Duke”? Come on! The vehicle isn’t British nor is it related to royalty in any way. There’s still time to change the name of the pack. It could be something like “Ghost Rider”, which sounds way better for a stealth helicopter and would probably have much more commercial impact$$$. There’s even a song called “Ghost Riders in the Sky” that basically predicted this moment!
Or at the very least, consider “Thunderbird”, a legendary creature from Native American cultures — it would fit perfectly with the decal. You could save “The Duke” for a future British-themed pack or something like that…
Don’t forget new shiny SPAA’s they gonna add this patch . It will die even quicker. Hellfire is the worst missile to deal with spaa with only 8km of range, 1 minute flight time to target and still being laser guided.
