Seahawk Addon By YuraPetrov

[yurapetrov 0]

.... Great Job Yura. .....

A question however: Would there be any chance for a patch, once you fnished your Fastroping on the Blackhawks, which would allow to slide down the ropes from an Oceanhawk, too? They have been used rarely to insert Boarding Specialists on other vessels for Searches or Arrests, so a Rope would come in handy for these, too.

Thanks. I'm going to add fastroping to HH-60H, but i think it will be nice to add fastroping to SH-60F too.

These are just Awesome models, what a great addition to ARMA2.

I am getting a script error that once activated won't go away, however does work properly. If you use the "Fold" user action the script file SH60fold.sqs has a line in it like this:

~0.1;

I believe the semicolon is causing it, if you remove it then it goes away and works fine

I'm glad you like it, i want to remake this script completelly, it has some bugs, sorry, i didnt have time to do this ;-(

I'm working within the German Naval Forces, the 'Deutsche Marine', and besides SH-3, NH-90 and Westland Sealynx, the Seahawk is used occasionally.

It's interesting, i never heard about seahawks in German Naval Forces. Tryed to search "German seahawk" in google, got no results ;-(

Yura,

I hope you know that I'm a fan of your helos, so please don't think I mean to bad-mouth your work and efforts to Arma. I'm offering this only as informational... The -60F doesn't carry Hellfires, only torpedoes and guns. The Hotel carries the missiles (along with the Bravo and Romeo, of course).

However, smack some HIRS on that -60F you have and you're pretty close to a -60H (at least, in game).

That said, these look very nice. Thanks for your efforts.

Yes, i remember you, i waited you message few days after my message with new screenshots. I knew that Oceanhawk cant use Hellfires and doesnt has FLIR, but i thought choppers in Arma is in the center of battleflield, so they could put hellfires on them. I saw one picture of Oceanhawk with FLIR and Hellfires, later i read about it, it was an experiment before building HH-60H. Well, in next release i will remove FLIR and Hellfires from SH-60F, will add M240 door machinegun and put FLIR and Hellfires on HH-60H.

The fact that I missed your message... my apologies. I haven't been on the forums for a few weeks. I'm flattered that you were waiting my feedback. Sorry I couldn't provide it, as I know you do quality work.

The one pic I've seen online is probably the one you've seen, but as you said, it was a test for the Hotel. I completely understand you adjusting your addon of playability. Just thought I'd pass along the "real life" info, in case you were interested. I'm still looking forward to your -60Hs.

You are right, you know much more about those chopper, i just thought what hellfires on oceanhawk it is unusual, but possible. Thought if they need, they can add it to SH-60F. It will be realistic to remove those weapon to add reallity. I have all parts for 60H's. Yesterday i made fairing for flare dispenser, so only combine all parts in one model and fixing bugs are left.

Buy the way, what you think about Zodiac under the SH-60F? Like this

And what about GAU-16 under the pylon? Was it experiment too?

Thats true, as we do not own any of them. There are only a few SH-3 Seaking for SAR and Boarding ops, and the Westland Sealynx as Bord-Helicopter for the Frigates. Also a few NH-90 NFH.

However, it's common practice to borrow Equipment from residential Navies when operating further away. Usually, in Pacific Operations Japanese or US Navy Seahawks are inherited for the time of the operation. SO, you won't find a German Seahawk or a Seahawk with a Germain paint scheme, but maybe a US one flown by german pilots ;)

Glad to hear about the planned updates, and i'm looking forward to the fastrope. Hope you can finish it soon, as i'm already impatiently waiting for your Blackhawks. As always Top Notch quality, and almost photorealistic.

BTW that CRRC under the Helo looks awesome. Would be a great feature to have, i already picture Diver Insertions with a HH-60 w/ CRRC in my head. You know, once Feint kicks out his Diving Mod :)

[ravendk 25]

Congrats on the release!

Very cool helicopters it is very nice to see all the variations :)

Small question, is there plans to make a MH-60R version ?

[yurapetrov 0]

Thanks, RavenDK, sure, i have MH-60R in work, i remember i posted this WIP screen 2 years ago. I will repost this screen here:

[Wiki 1558]

for the moment, I am expecting 3 things:

-SH-60B with only side gunners

-MH-60L and MH-60K (with fastrope and external cargo position)

-Stealthhawk.

anyway, great work on all your work, it's really impressive!!!

[=kct=blackmamba 44]

i realy like this new release, i love the variety and detail u put in your great addon.

keep going , i "expect" im going to enjoy every minute flying. :)

@yura

IMO, you should take the skins from Zero Dark Thirty for the Stealthhawk

[odyseus 19]

hey yurapetrov have you ever consider updating your addon to TOH engine?

[yurapetrov 0]

They use prop, fake stealthhawk. The real one looks different, prop's tail doesnt look like real and movie version has 5 blades, but real one has only 4 like convensional blackhawk.

hey yurapetrov have you ever consider updating your addon to TOH engine?

Sorry, no, i dont have ToH, i dont know how it works and that i have to change in my addon to import it to ToH.

[NoRailgunner 0]

Thank you and don't get too sidetracked with all those wishful begging for superstealthy Sea- and/or Blackhawks.... something new need to be left todo for A3! :)

The boat looks slick. Sounds like a sweet addition.

I wouldn't worry about the GAU. By the way, that's not a GAU-16. The GAU-16 is the .50 cal single barreled M2 in the 60B/F/H as seen here:

I believe the pic you posted is a GAU-19. I haven't seen anything like that other than that one picture, and if it is used (no one I know has used one), It's not normal nowadays. My last two COs were HCS pilots and the only thing they've mentioned were the GAU-17, GAU-16, or the M-240s.

Just to break it down for informational purposes...

GAU-16: .50 cal single barrel found on -60B/F/H

GAU-17: 7.62mm "mini-gun" found on 60H (and other non-Navy helos)

GAU-21: .50 cal single barrel found on -60R/S and various other non-Navy helos.

M240: 7.62mm found on all models of -60s.

Any other repeating firearms found on the -60s are not permanently mounted and are just brought aboard by one of the special crewmembers (SEALs, Coast Guard, Marines, etc). These may include the SR-25, M107, M-14 EBR, etc.

But how would you know that? what are you a spy? :D

It wouldn't surprise me, from memory having more blades can reduce the audio signigure (see the OH-6 'quiet one' the regular OH-6 but with 5 blades insted of 4, the scissor style tail rotor -later incoporated into the AH-64- and reshaped blades and exhaust, here's the only photo i could find of it)

He might be referring to the Mk 44 Mod 0 also known as 'lets turn this Seahawk in a LAV-25'

No, i'm not spy. I saw a crash photos. I recognized conventional 4-blades UH-60 rotor hub on this photo: http://img685.imageshack.us/img685/8868/unled4lw.png You can see the angle between blades mounts is 90 degrees, so this hub cant carry more than 4 blades. They found another way to reduce noise from blades: http://www.activesensors.com/news/7. The easiest way to reduce noise is turn blade into the large speaker, witch emits a sound wave with the same amplitude but with inverted phase to the original blade wave. The sound waves combine to form a new wave and effectively cancel each other out. I think its more effective, than adding one additional blade. Also, you can recognize a rope on the ground, using in fastroping, so its confirming that silenthawk can fastroping troops.

This is not only confirmed by the image, but by some books as well. I've read some of the books from the mission, and both of them speak about fastroping into the courtyard. (i.e. "No Easy Day", "SEAL Target Geronimo".)

Ah, i've never seen a photo of the remains of the fusalage, only the tail section.

I believe they stated they lost control due to vortex ring state just as they where preparing to fast rope.
