no clue at this point it has been that long, anyway point is the helis they are adding are just a waste of time since the best heli is in the Italian line
the german premium still exists and can be bought lol
no different realy to the already existing would bring nothing new
no no they couldnt have added 16km fire and forget missles
the Mi-24D is no longer for purchase you are thinking of the Mi-24P HFS 80, the Mi-24D was the OG premium for either germany or russia at this point I can’t recall, point is it is no longer ingame, actually it was prob russian since i have the Bo 105 CB-2 for germany, so I was wrong about the nation.
The 204 has a more varied choice of weapons so yeah it would bring something new considering the 205 is the worst heli ingame rn
I get the fire and forget missile argument but we are getting the Kiowa this update which might as well be fire and forget with the targeting camera location

It’s literally a licensed version of a french helicopter. Nothing indigenous.

if added to Italy they could offer the PZL SM-1 and SM-2, along with the SA330 Puma, granted not indigenous still more interesting that copy paste hinds that people who grind the tree will skip because the 129 exists
I’d rather not see any of them at all. I’d prefer an AW139m, early Mangusta and AB 204B.

save T129B for Turkish Heli Tree, a T129 prototype would fit Italy better, those assembled in Italy for eg.
Yes, please remove them. Italy has sooooooo many helis to add, we dont need C&P from Soviets!

To me this is just an excuse to add copy paste instead of adding original helicopters, the Italian heli tech tree has been neglected since the day they were added. Yes it would bolster the heli tree but there is tons of Italian helis that would be unique to Italy. Call it cope but this is just annoying

ngl dunno why you are even here since you ONLY play germany from the looks of your stat card, I say this because this “addition” if you dare even call it that only affects those that play Italy and from what you have said on this and other threads you are a huge german main from the looks of it, so why should we listen to your input on a tree you clearly do not play, and why flag my comment for calling you out, you clearly are out of your level here since you did not know Italy is one of the major producers of helicopters

The A129D uses Spikes ER, which have 8km range, not Spike ER-IIs with 16km.
You know who else has an helicopter with similar range on a f&f missile? Germany, and they got it FOUR YEARS AGO.
The Tiger with Pars has been in the game for LONGER THAN THE ENTIRE ITALIAN HELI TREE, with a similar if not better missile (the Pars is faster).

yeah but I don’t see the point since he from the looks of it has no clue about the Italian helicopter industry and native heli additions, and since he does not play Italy why is his opinion considered valid in this context? This only affects those that play Italy so I find that only people that play the tree have most valid inputs and since Italy is one of the less played trees those that play it often known of these possible additions

I don’t really mind them tbh I just ask that they add the premium 129s back.
1 Like
why would they, they want that sweet sweet Hungarian player base money, they already milked the Turkish and Italian players with the 129s, they need a different source now, ngl an MD-500E would be more interesting that more hinds, which the Italians use.
At this pace by next year Italy will get their fourth heli premium that will be around for about half a year before it too gets removed and thus the cycle goes on

(A129 Delta has Spike ER II, It was confirmed by Rafael, the Company Who make the missile)

this is false the Italian army never purchased any ER IIs, maybe they will for the AW249
the image of the A129D in the ER II brochure is just for marketing

How do You know that? Since a lot of thing that Italy buy are not even public. And no the Spike ER II Is integrated with the A129 Delta, It has them. (Imo the industry Who make the missile Say that, Who could even know Better than them). Btw let’s end It here, we are alredy off topic.
