hmmm.....is this needed?  i knew an a-10 pilot who was trying to provide cover for a downed pilot in serbia and ran out of ammo.  but, he stayed on station until help arrived.  he would dive down and point his nose at the enemy (even though he had no ammo) and they would scatter.  got the flying cross or something like that for it.  point is seems like this is not needed tbh.

The more quiet, the closer you can get without/before beeing spotted...

I'm sure Delta Force and the Rangers wouldn't mind a more stealthy insertion.

I know from experience in the desert watching apaches doing live fire that they can hover far enough away that you can't hear them and kill you without you know where the shots are even coming from.

I would be in favor of polize having it because whenever some douche nozzle gets upitty and they send the chopper out you are up and awake until they stop circling the neighborhood.

meh.....how about weapons you can just fire from further away, eh?

Mate, all helicopters are not gunships... fyi

now you do

Your thoughts, insights, and musings on this matter intrigue me.

yes.  but you guys got youtube and bf2 so you know better.

we need more UAV drones with more current munitions.   Hellfires cause too much collateral damage.

Better than what, about what? Your story was completely irrelevant to the topic.

Actually, it wasn't. He speaks from personal experience, not from hours logged as a chopper pilot on a video game.



As a gunship, as an insertion tool, there is no argument that quieter is not better.

actually no...it was not.  everyone has a hard on about silent helos, but a big loud gun can do just as well.  fucking dumb fuck.

Do what just as well? What, you think some guys sat down and said "alright, we need to really intimidate the enemy with a show of force, so let's make a helicopter that's lightly armed and totally quiet"? Are you suggesting that the A-10 and the Eurocopter Tiger are meant to fill out identical roles, and face the same threats while doing so? Hell, why use helicopters at all? We've got A-10s!

He speaks from second hand experience about providing air support for ground troops in an heavy fixed wing aircraft. You're posting about quiet rotor technology for helicopters and their value on gunships used for insertion. Unless you've heard of using A-10s for quiet insertion, I don't see the relevance at all.

actually i have had first hand experience in CAS from helos and aircraft.  but so have you i bet so yes, keep talking.
