Can it carry the Starstreak missile?
UK can wait for one more update to receive, it’s not like there hasn’t been a nation (or two, I don’t remember) being the only ones with FnF missiles in helicopters

Britain and Sweden
and Britain cant get the Ah-64E which gaijin will copy paste into 3 different tech trees in the coming update?

I would prefer that helicopters never come with FnF missiles, if I didn’t already like playing Top Tier tanks before, imagine now.
no.Based on the information I’ve found, the Starstreak missile has indeed never been equipped on the AH-64E. In the game, the infrared countermeasures system takes up the hardpoint slots that could be used for air-to-air missiles (for example, the Taiwanese AH-64E in the game removes the IRCM and regains AIM-92 Stinger air-to-air missiles). So, if the British AH-64E were implemented in the game, it most likely wouldn’t have the Starstreak missile. :(

Unless they going to give Brits Brimstone 2 which have more range or some feature that only Brits 64E have it otherwise no reason that Brits has to wait for China to get it first.
We know it’s in development.
Patience is required.
It’ll be released when it’s ready.
it is ready
they were able to copy paste it into 3 different nations on the dev server
They are hidden and not configured.
On top of that Britain’s AH-64E at minimum is not supposed to be copy-paste.
I haven’t researched the other AH-64Es.
they are
they have differences
like the Indonesian one not having LDIRCM and a Radar
or the Taiwanese one being able to carry more stingers
really？Then I’ll wait and hope.
None of them should be copy-paste of the American AH-64E, so if they are then they have the wrong 3D model.
Having loose weapon restrictions isn’t full configuration either.
Well i guess because Brits 64E have lot of different than even US one including engines too guess that why yeah i just did some quick research there are lot of different in Brits 64E too much to be just copy paste the US one into their
Gaijin add EC-665 Tiger ARH (Australian Army) or Rooivalk (Denel ARGOS-II) before British Army AH-64E ?

Well, this helicopter seems to be intended to fill the gap between 10.7 and 12.0 in the British tech tree. Since I don’t see any fire-and-forget missiles involved, this helicopter shouldn’t encroach on the position of the AH-64E… which is a good thing, but… sigh, I really don’t know what Gaijin is thinking. We can only hope that Gaijin adds the British AH-64E to the game as soon as possible.

I see so there still different between US and UK 64e?
Hey.
At no stage have we ruled out an AH-64E for the UK.
Simply, not everything is currently ready yet for this major update.

The British AH-64E has its own unique differences. It is not a direct “copy paste” or identical to any other variant.
Visually it has notable differences to others.
