AH-4 Zealot Light Attack/Observation Helicopter

The all new AH-4 light attack/observation helicopter features more armament than the AH-64 apache, all the systems of the AH-6 Little Bird and all for less money!! The primary roles are: to provide an armed battlefield observation platform and anti-tank missile platform for air cover to convoys, armor groups and infantry. There's a NV/IR camera in the nose which feeds to the helmet mounted display of the pilot and weapons officer as well as the head down display. The 2 crew sit in a side by side cockpit in favor of the typical tandem cockpit configuration. This provides a roomier cockpit and a better view of the battlefield. The mast sight can provide ground commanders with realtime video, radar and infared information about the battlefield.

Theres no way you can fit a payload like that on a small helicopter and stil have it fly. Theres no engine technology compact and powerful enough to create the lift needed to lift that weight and still fit on the frame. But if you have somehow invented such a technology i would be most interested if you could share it.

Then you should remove the scout title you placed on it, big scouts are a bad thing. Its more of a heavy assault Heli.

Order confirmed, the OH-58 kiowa is a large helicopter this is no different, (accept higher weps capacity)

The weapons capacity of a Kiowa is still considerably less than that of an AH-64. With the payload your theoretically putting on this thing, you'll need a huge helicopter especally concerning the engine. If you were to fit such an engine on a smaller helicopter (lets say on the kiowa) the range would suffer due the the limited fuel supply.

Alternatively you can purchase the scaled-down Jay equivalent. Like all Jay Industries products, it's not as quick or flashy as Phoenix Dynamix version but it's cheaper and it gets the job done.

Might I remind you the Kiowa is single engined. My engines are twice as powerful and there are 2 of them so :D :D

And be quiet Witzgall :fluffle:

You have two of them so they take up twice the room and use up twice the fuel.

They dont take ANY "room" since they are mounted externally, this engine is also much more powerful than kiowa's and all PD engines are as fuel efficent as possible. If you dont like it you dont need to buy it.
