looks nicer in bf2

It's actually an Agusta A129 International.

Rooivalk:

At some point they all start to look alike..

Yes, but the Agusta has the little chin gun.

I don't know. DICE probably made the thing's model up anyway.

While it is commonly speculated that Eurocopter is giving a lot of technical help to the Chinese on this project, there are obvious technical differences between the Rooivalk and the A129 or the Tiger. The WZ-10 which is obviously still in somewhat of a prototype stage (as far as we know) has been shown to include a 5 blade rotor system vs 4 on all the others in question, it also appears to be using a ballistic separation on the tail rotor paddles much like the Apache.

It is obvious to me that the A129 is not the base of the WZ-10 simply due to the fact that the rotor system of the Mangusta turns counter-clockwise (like the Blackhawk, Apache, Rooivalk Ect.) while the WZ-10 turns clockwise like the Eurocopter Tiger and all Russian Mil helicopters. if you look at the orientation of the tail rotor on the WZ-10 vs the A129 it becomes pretty obvious, and the Chinese would not re-engineer the entire rotor system and flight control system to accomplish this.







the WZ-10 is probably a combination of a few different design concepts from the Rooivalk and Eurocopter Tiger but with some home grown Chinese engineering as well.

Given the Chinese penchant for Russian equipment I don't know why they just didn't buy a shitload of these and call it good.


Possibly the most dangerous rotorcraft on the planet, well the coolest at least

EDIT - FOUND A BETTER VIDEO

I think the NATO designation of that chopper is "Werewolf".

OMG, I HAS THE MICRO MACHINES VERSION OF THAT!

I remember using my M1 to attack the base in the playset, then having the toy soldier steal it from those damned Commies/terrorists.

I wish the guys who uploaded these videos would stop putting everything to a soundtrack.

I told you all years ago people, god no-one listens to me . Yes the BF2 Z-10 is an Agusta A-129, you get them in WiC.

Hokum is the NATO name for the Ka-50/52.

KA-50 single seat = Hokum

KA-52 Dual Seat - Hokum-B

I don't know where the name Werewolf came from but I have heard that before.

YEP as i posted already

no no no this is all wrong, them choppers thar are designed to take co-pilots...since when!!!!! and i cudnt see any red skull and crossbones on those ones, so what the fuck??!?!

I bet that Airwolf beats them all.

Do other helicopters have their own shirt?

I think not.
