Panzer_Leader Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 And one of the cool things that Nils didn't mention was that Retro was able to link the weapons and sensors to the pilots heads. Just like the real thing. The hard points on the wings even pitch forward, and backwards like the real deal depending on the angle of attack, when you give it an engage command. Wow, that's impressive! Can't wait to see it in action in v3.0. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgehog Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Hey! What's wrong with the French one?I even managed to get 3 Air to Air kills with a Tigre during LNOT.(Plus its electronically hardened, if Goldeneye is anything to go by.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froggy Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Ok, add to wish list:HAD Tiger, with either Mistral2 (AA missiles), Hellfire or rockets and equipped with a laser rangefinder and FCS to engage accuratly targets (including air to air) with canon and rockets (only need a 10 rounds burst to kill a moving helicopter at 1500m) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froggy Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 AFAIK ARH has no Rangefinder and a limited air to air FCS. So it can only use battlesight range for the canon (which can be coupled either with the helmet mounted sight for quick firing up to 1000m, or Strix Over Head Sight, for a more precise aiming, but still only battlesight range). It can't use Air to Air missiles.Externaly, there is no long fixed antenna on the left side of the HAD/HAP.HAD (Hélicoptère Appui-Destruction, Support and Destruction Helicopter) is used by France and Spain (same camouflage, only marking are différents).It main role is to destroy ennemy vehicules and support the dismonted troops. Replace the dedicated anti-tank version, canceled some years ago.HAP (Hélicoptère Appui-Protection, Support and Protection Helicopter) is the same chopper, but without antitank capacity (only guns, rockets, and Mistral 2). They have seen combat in Lybia, Afghanistan, Mali. It main role is to protect transport helicopters and support the dismonted troops. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do share your love of one of its siblings, having been sideways at 90Kph on an icy country road in a Scimitar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickMow Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Scorp' would surely be Jag engined, boss ? They went out of service way before the engine change. My Spartan was Jag petrol engined went like shit off a shovel, between leaking every kind of fluid and snapping torsion bars every 5 minutes :biggrin: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Scorp' would surely be Jag engined, boss ? Will have to take it for a road test to check. But they were "great" days patrolling the inner German border in a Scimitar while on exchange with 1 QDG. Live ammunition in the turret looking at East Germans who had live ammunition too. Luckily, no one was an idiot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rump Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 And the Fennek has arrived. Again, a beautiful looking model. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Companion Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Its the last in service AH-64A model. Block II or III, every time I read about it I get more confused. Markings are 1-211th Utah national guard, "Buccaneers" Since you've mentioned it... What's the difference between "early" and "late" AH-64A? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
