I see now all nations getting helicopters with missiles that fire and forget about it, but Sweden is the only one that seems unlikely to have one. There are things like the Finnish Little Bird which has rockets and would be a great addition to the line. Compacting it would also be cool because the two BOs could be stacked one on top of the other. I don’t know if the H145M could work because it was tested in Sweden or tested by Sweden, or they could also add some nation with the AH64E. The path is uncertain, I can’t see a solution because the “smart” devs put the Netherlands in France, even though France has a Tiger and a Spike ER-2, but let’s discuss possible solutions!

I believe the closest thing would be Danish MH-60R SeaHawk, as it’s a strike helicopter. The Danes use it primarily for anti-submarine duties, but it could theoretically mount anti-surface weapons like Hellfire.
Or at least I believe it’s possible as we know the US Navy have fired Hellfire missiles from their MH-60R SeaHawk, see the photo below:
One of the selling points of JAGM is compatibility with any Hellfire capable launch platform, hence it should also work with MH-60R
This would be a stretch in many ways, but IMO preferable to inserting a AH-64E from a random nation with tenuous or no connection to Sweden.

It is highly unlikely at this time.
The only hope would be Sweden or Finland (or another Scandanvian nation) acquiring a few Attack Helicopters due to… Rising tensions

I think this MH60 could be a saving grace, like they did with the Indonesian AH64E, which doesn’t operate with JAGM! So the MH60 could come like the Colombian Arpia IV, but instead of Spike, it could come with JAGM.

H145M was only tested in sweden btw, nothing more, as other have said our Sea Hawks are likely subjects but someone would need to check the manual and determine if we have the same models as the US.
As Smin has stated it seems pretty unlikely Sweden will get another Helicopter so i wouldn’t get my hopes up.
LockMart only claims AH-64s, no mention of MH-60s.
AH-64As are even alluded to with “software update”.
However, until a country goes through with a software update on AH-64A/D for JAGM, I doubt Gaijin will consider LockMart’s word on its own.
Tbf that same logic is also used for the Gripens yes they can mount nearly all Nato equipment but, they need to have their pylons modified to use them first as they cant be set for universal all at the same time. Yet gaijin allows such a thing because it can happen
That’s the aircraft manufacturer saying so.
While the AH-64A/D documentation omits any compatibility.
Boeing says all AH-64Es are compatible.
LockMart says they work on AH-64Es, and claims they can work on older models with a software update.
A bit different than Saab saying Gripen C works with all* NATO air to air missiles, instead of just AIM-9s, AIM-7s, and AIM-120s.

To be fair software and such is irrelevant given the SAAF Gripen can use GBU-39 despite them never updating to MS20 due to financial problems so this isn’t a problem as gaijin have made that point null and void
SAAF is the only Gripen C user still using MS19 and not MS20, yet for balance gaijin gave them a model they didn’t use for balance so this wouldn’t be any different imo
Unlikely. Sweden simply doesn’t operate Attack Choppers, nor did it in the past. There’s simply nothing to add.
Sweden operates just some multi role models, mainly for transport. Machine guns can be equipped, but thats it. There’s also nothing planned in future.
The only salvation for Sweden is the Polish AH64E. Poland is not a sub-nation of Germany (it only has the LEO 2PL because it’s of German origin) and it’s not a sub-nation of the UK because the Sherman Firefly only exists due to its British origin, okay! So yes, the only salvation for it is Polish helicopters!
Sweden could receive the Polish ah64e!
What does Sweden even have to do with Poland lmao
It’s Scandinavian and it’s nearby, dude, what do Indonesia and Thailand have to do with Japan? The band doesn’t play like there’s a connection, but rather a need! Is Sweden going to be the only nation without a helicopter in FNF? It’s better to exclude it, that’s the only solution!
I don’t know, you’re all the same lol
Sounds like a skill issue from Sweden
No, have you ever thought about playing on version 12.7 with an AHS? You would be brutally absd!
Give me one reason why the Polish version of AH64E isn’t included in Sweden, and why it’s the only nation in the game not to receive FNF. Why not? The USA received it, Germany has it, Russia has it, the UK has it, Japan has it, China has two (lol), Italy has it, France has it, and Israel has it. Now tell me why Sweden shouldn’t have it? What’s going to change?
Is there another option besides the Polish Apache? If so, it would be very welcome. Instead of coming like a crybaby, you should help! I’m not judging whether it would be good or bad; what I’m doing is called gathering suggestions, not judging whether they will be good or bad! That doesn’t change the fact that she needs an FNF helicopter.
