There’s no need to add it at all. China has so many domestically built helicopters they could add to the game first before thinking about exports.
I agree, there’s much more deserving nations (France[Netherlands]/Brit/Japan[Indonesia]/Germany[Poland]/Israel[Singapore]) that need to have their heli tree brought up to standard with the new super helis by getting the AH-64E.
Taiwan does operate Apache Guardians but I feel like it’s redundant or even weaker than the Z-10ME so… personally think it was a very odd choice to introduce it now. Z-10ME is also getting the BA-11 ATGMs this patch too which brings it in-line with the AH-64E.
Z10ME has two LDIRCM protection bubbles, so it’s already better in terms of protection.
It doesn’t make sense to give China(Taiwan) a second helicopter which according to the data mine is an exact copy/paste of the US AH64E besides having more stingers.
Every nation like you and I have said needs to be brought up to current standards first before considering adding an A64E to China.
China already has the Z-10ME,why give them AH64E?

Wish i know but I don’t and we should do like Chinese does to stop this nonsense.

Gaijin has a very inconsistent policy on what aircraft can use they will claim “the decision to add weapons is dependent on the ability to use it, not if the operator country ever actually owned any of the weapon system”
But if they don’t want to add the weapon for any reason they will turn around and say “X-nation never used it”
Indonesia Has AH-64Es and they have helis already added to Japan. so they could possibly receive them that way.

America also have the oplot 🤫
Adding AH-64E to China changes nothing for development.
The slowest part is researching the aircraft, which is clearly done for China and they’re in the modeling and implementation phase.
Delaying Chinese AH-64E because other tech trees’ stuff isn’t completed [Sweden will never get anything] would be double standards.
researchable fy-4 modification for 12.3 vt-4 would have been better than an apache gaijin
Its ‘development’ has reached a point where it was able to be data mined with armaments.
I just love how you avoid answering the question on WHY China deserves a second FNF LDIRCM protected helicopter before all other nations have received their first one.
Like I said to you earlier, the AH64E for China should be delayed until all other nations have received their equivalent to it. China does not deserve to get a second one when half the nations in game are still missing their first one.
You wouldn’t understand anyways since you don’t play top tier ground enough. You believe LDIRCM protection is the equivalent of having FNF capabilities lol.
@ItsGaryy
Applying your standard of “deserves” to a game that doesn’t work like that is not something I or anyone else is obligated to answer.
The only argument made around deserves is nations deserve their service equipment, which is a different topic, point, and context.
You only ever speak for yourself.
I never said LDIRCM is equivalent to F&F.
Your post is the only post on the forum that has that statement. So it’s your claim as your post is the only one that contains the claim.
Oh, and no vehicles should be delayed. Delaying vehicles is a trash anti-player practice.
Unacceptable
Theoretically speaking, they can’t. These aircraft were delivered in 2013-2014. This was almost the earliest batch of AH64E, at a time when no JAGM had been produced yet. JGAM only obtained the AGM179A designation in 2016 and only started LRIP in 2018.
And the jagm mr we have ingame is like 2 years old at best and its the repurposing of the jagm ir which was also fairly new
Yes, so theoretically speaking, there is no possibility for these AH64es delivered before 2016 to run JAGM-MR without upgrading.
Time doesn’t dictate capabilities, programming does.
Then please tell me, when did these AH64D BLKIII receive the upgrade?
Its related to this topic.
I’m simply stating China does not need/deserve a second FNF LDIRCM Helicopter before every other nation has received its first one.
Vehicles should be delayed especially if they cause an imbalance. You believe its totally fair for China to receive a second helicopter with magical bubble protection before everyone in game has received its first.
@ItsGaryy
That’s a bad take, because Sweden physically cant ever get one. None of its nations operate such helicopters.
Britain is likely getting one this update, which is all tech trees that CAN get F&F helicopters getting F&F helicopters.
LDIRCM can only get nerfed as well.
Helicopter radar cross sections can only get nerfed. They’re currently immune to PD radars when they shouldn’t be due to their rotors.
Delaying vehicles is anti-player, there is no other reason.
