So you don’t know if there even is something that could fill the gap?

163

I mean there are a lot of them you can check it out yourself in Suggestions.

164

@Smin1080p_WT wow you hyped me up. I thought it would have been the NH90, but this is good too.

165

What?

If there are so many, why don’t you name them?
I’m looking at the suggestions right now and none of them would fit as AH-64E alternatives, so you must be seeing some that I can’t see.

167

I mean they have like 7 Leo 2 variants in-game iirc?

Also the Tiger UHT, AH129D, and AH-60 all get at least 8 FnF missiles, it’s not like they’re hugely behind other stuff (and 12.7 > 13.0 is hardly a huge gap) and as other people have pointed out there isn’t really an option for Sweden on that front…

168

Does it even have an armed version? I know only the utility one that Greece got scammed on it

169

There is an armed one, but it only carries torpedoes and machine guns

170

We haven’t seen any leopard since leo2a4m, and the huge gap Im talking about is Mi24p(9.7) to TigerUHT(12.7 if UHT worth 12.7). As helis for sweden, I don’t have any ideas too, but it is an issue.

171

There was literally a new leo last update

172

then why bring up the AH-64E in the first place?

173

H145M, Tiger MK3 for germany, AW129 for Italy, with spike nlos and probably DIRCM
AH64E for Isreal, why not

174

The addition of the Wildcat has nothing to do with Germany, Italy, Sweden or Israel. It isn’t being added “instead of” anything for those nations, but being added to Britain because its a British helicopter and a very highly requested one at that. A nation having a top helicopter doesn’t stop new additions to their tree just as a nation having a top plane or tank doesn’t stop that either.

Because AW159 is going to be almost top tier, and British already has top tier heli

176

You know it will be lower BR then the AH mk2 maybe even lower then the AH mk1

177

Upgraded Greek AH-64D that can carry spikes and Cypriot H-145M that can also carry spikes for Israel when?

178

Thanks for explanation, I’m not strongly against this new addition but I just think problems with these nations should be solved first(Cause we can’t have everything in a single update, some vehicles of other nations must be delayed because of the implementation of new model)

179

The addition of Spike NLOS is not confirmed yet

Pretty sure neither Germany or Italy have Spike NLOS
Israel has no AH-64Es

180

Even around 10.0-11.0 Britain has got several helis too

A lynx?
