Just wanted to share this cool pic. Hope this will be the next helicopter developed for Combat Helo.

MH-60 and HH-60 or both was recently discussed since we want to put one into the Gunnery Range as part of the background furniture with a view to rolling it out as a flyable at some later time. We don't want to throw in a bunch of helicopters into a game as you end up with a not very coherent game. I'm all for 'less is more' and focus on more detail for very few specific airframes which complement existing ways of playing the game.


- Does it fit the game with regard to joint operations (paired with attack helicopter ops)
- Does it duplicate an existing role?
- Can we re-purpose it for other/later projects? e.g. Combat-Rescue?
- Construction time.

After consideration at some point there will likely be an 'M' variant with interchangeable parts for turning into a few other kinds we can use, fitted with the Rockwell Collins Common Avionics Arch System. I think it can complement both the Apache and Chinook since it sits in-between both roles and can be used in a dedicated civilian application later.

No timetable. Since AD the modeller has had to leave town due to flooding there's little to no chance of it happening even as a background prop atm.

Well is cool to hear that is been discussed. Looking forward to see how this game will evolve!

Looks like the 25th ID patch on the nose so i'll assume it's from 2nd battalion 25th Aviation Regiment....just some useless info for you.

Stationed at Wheeler Army Airfield Hawaii...may very well be the one i Air Assaulted off of

You could make a M variant DAP. That would fit more since its an attack -60.

Yes that was the idea, it wouldn't take much modification to shake that out or offer it as a configuration choice between MH-60 and AH-60. I'm hoping we'll have a more modular system for creating cockpit instruments in place by then.

Another armed chopper? Was thinking more in this...



With your door gunner covering your landing...

Yes Stratos. We can make it that and more, like adding more than one kind of gun to a particular position.

That ground scrub is rather nice, wish we could add something like that easily. Will have to wait for a later version.
