SpetsnazWarriorX 0 Posted June 2, 2002 All these new oxygen-made planes are very nice and all - I love 'em, but I personally learnt to fly the chopper in OFP before the plane, so the helis always have a place in my heart. My fave chopper IRL is the Eurocopter's new Tiger. Anyone with oxygen PLEEEEEZ make it for OFP! Thanx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpetsnazWarriorX 0 Posted June 2, 2002 Ohhh, that's kool. Any idea when it'll be made public/released? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paratrooper 0 Posted June 2, 2002 I'd love to see a Tigre or other helicopters in general. A Lynx would be good and a Westland Apache Longbow can't be that hard to do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpetsnazWarriorX 0 Posted June 2, 2002 I just love the Tiger because it looked so kool in James Bond's Goldeneye. Lol, it might not exactly have 'stealth capability' and 'electromagnetic pulse-proof armour', but it's still a gorgeous heli. Would be nice to see the Magic 550 AA missile against the good ol' Hind someday, too... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
animalica 0 Posted June 3, 2002 A few days ago I saw an Tiger on tv at an aviation fair, performing all different manouvers, including loopings! Impressing and an good design too - looks very martial. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is daytime and night combat capable and is operable in NBC environments. Three basic parameters were taken into account right from the start of the development phase: low (visual, radar and infrared) detectability, which provides excellent survivability on the battlefield, maximum efficiency of the weapons and the associated fire control systems without heavier workload for the crew, and an optimized logistic concept offering minimum possession costs. The Tiger HAP is fitted with a 30-mm gun turret; 68-mm submunition rockets, and air-to-air Mistral missiles. It also features a firing sight with 3 sensors: infrared, TV camera and direct optical channel. The complete avionics suite includes multi-purpose color displays and radar/laser warning receivers. TIGER UHT The Tiger UHT is a multi-role fire support helicopter. The Trigat Fire and Forget missiles and/or the Hot missiles it carries offer anti-tank capability, while 68-mm rockets ensure air-to-ground fire support. A 12.7 mm air-to-air gun pod and air-to-air Stinger missiles can also be installed. The helicopter also features a mast-mounted sight with a second-generation IRCCD infrared channel and a TV channel, as well as a nose-mounted IRCCD control FLIR for the pilot. Countermeasures include radar/laser/missiles launch/missile approach warning receivers and decoy launchers. TIGER HAC The Tiger HAC is an anti-tank helicopter which supports the same equipments as the Tiger UHT. Weaponry includes Trigat and/or Hot anti-tank missiles and air-to-air Mistral missiles.

red oct 2 Posted June 3, 2002 was the tiger made by Germany? this also reminds me of a long time ago when attemps were mad to create a helicopter ware the main rotor would transform into wings and the whole aircraft would become a jet, picture it as those type of aircraft that were in "The 6th Day" but i guess it never left the drawing board cuzz of the countless flaws and dangers it would have to surrounding people and buildings should it fail to convert during flight.

SpetsnazWarriorX 0 Posted June 3, 2002 Hmm, what side would the Tigre be used for in OFP? And regarding the Apache - hype hype hype. Sure it's good, very good even, but the world has yet to see the true might of the ol' Tigre yet. At least I hope... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MachoMan 0 Posted June 4, 2002 sorry m8s the apache is the best chopper of the two. The Dutch army did extensive testing with both the EuroTiger and the Apache and they picked the Apache. They found that it was faster, could outmanouver and could carry more weapons than the Tigre. So they bought the Apache This gave the French and the Germans quite a shock actualy, wich could outrageous questions in the European Parlement. Everybody picking on the Netherlands, lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paratrooper 0 Posted June 4, 2002 We can still have this extra unit in the game though, for the French and German forces, "The Apache is better" is not a reason not to have it in the game.! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
