Stealth mainly refers to noise reduction. They’re kind of silent running and thats it.
As already stated, rotors need to …well rotate…and this will light up on any PD radar. Also its impossible to design rotors in a way to absorb or deflect radar.

Well, the F-117 is very good in GRB but there’s a different BR.
Nighhawk is rarely spawned. Thats an indicator that its just not useful. Otherwise the sky would be full of them. Neither in GRB nor ARB. I remember to see it once in GRB. He tried to fly high, there was no radar blip, but unfortnately the contrail was there for everyone to see. So I just eyeballed a SAM into it anyways. WT game mechanics ^^
Literally the most 2000s game helicopter design. I love it.

Sooooo you not going to say what weapons it has?
Gaijin bringing back the 90’s, 2000’s video game vehicles…just lacking the voxel space on this one
(although, I don’t remember it having it’s hat like this one does…)
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.
