The YAK-141 never mounted real weapons, only mockup examples of existing weapons, yet, it has all of them.
If you want to make the argument that the Comanche cant get anything that is a mockup then we might as well only give it it’s 20mm cannon as well, given it never mounted anything other than mockup missiles.
Per your metric, all loadouts are fictional given none of them existed or were mounted IRL.
To be fair alot of soviet and Russian vehicles never carried real weapons but yet they are still in the game. Yak 141 is a good example.
livestream is out. The Comanche is a premium and that’s it
Except that that is very clearly 6 Stinger’s on the stub pylon and not 3?
Which means that the at minimum a 12 x Stinger load out is possible.
And all while being more real than any KH-38MT load out, o7.
Its not 16, the stinger loadout was 28 Stingers. Every source ever found proves that RAH 66A could carry 28 stingers. https://www.aviatorsdatabase.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/RAH-66-Comanche.pdf
I would be okay with this standard if it was applied consistently…
Great to see Gaijin made it invisible to the Strela, as it should be:
Now they just need to change the radar signature so its the least detectable from the rear
On this mockup we see single Stinger in place of a hellfire:
that is not armor, it is a lightweight structural material commonly used on aircraft
That is armor. Im not sure what you think Kevlar is.
It’s not. I’ve made a section of composite, it’s mostly woven fabric and honeycomb. Also, Kevlar is not armor the way it’s used on composites. it may slow a small arms round down, but it won’t deflect it and it would cause damage that would need to be repaired

Sikorksy themselves stated the Commanche is able to survive 23mm HE hits, Numerous sources state this, the Commanche is 50% more durable than all other helicopters that existed at its time. The Graphite-Composite-Kevlar helped with this , I dont know why you think you making something is superior to whats stated by sikorsky themselves.
survive, not go undamaged (plus HE round not an AP round)
I literally typed "survive 23mm HE rounds. "I also never said undamaged. A.P rounds also lose speed and power over distances and would bounce off the helicopter at great ranges at extreme angles. The way the commanche was on the dev server was essentially exactly how the helicopter should have stayed.
Sure, but let me ask you, where does it say that the composite is armor?
Not from a technical manual so it would never pass devs but realistically this thing was pretty impressive
This second one is from sikorskyarchives
Someone who is good at math can convert
to tnt value
This is what AI had to say
This is just for the tail section. Unfortunately we don’t know how resistant the rest of the Comanche is
Kevlar is armor. I dont know why you’re playing word semantics. You know we give soldiers Kevlar Vest/ Plates
