The AH-4 Zealot has been in service for several years within The Phoenix Milita and other nations' armed forces. In that time it has performed exceptionally but there have been some shortcomings recognized with the early models. Now Phoenix Dynamix is ready to release the all new "B" version in four separate variants.

The all new AH-4B light attack/observation/special operations helicopter is as heavily armed as the AH-64 apache, features all the systems of the OH/MH-6 Little Bird and all for less money!! It's primary roles are: to provide an armed battlefield observation platform and anti-tank missile platform for air cover to convoys, armor groups and infantry. It can also be used for battlefield insertions in a dynamic urban environment, and limited anti-ship and submarine duties. There's a NV/IR camera in the nose which feeds to the helmet mounted display of the pilot and weapons/observation 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 infrared information about the battlefield.

The department of Defense has considered your close description of these helicopters. We are in need of military equipment so we would like to purchase 20 OH-4B. If my math isn't wrong it would be 220 Million USD. The money is ready to be wired.

Thank you for ordering 20 OH-4B Zealots. Unfortunately your math was wrong and it is $240 Million.

Sincerely,

CEO
Phoenix Dynamix

OOC: Ok, thanks. :p

No problemo.

bump

HH-4 added!

Do you sell production rights? If so, how much?

How compatible is this platform with alternate weapons loadouts and/or avionics?

What is its radar cross-section like?

Weight?

Yes, the same rules/cost on main storefront apply to this helicopter.

Aside from the mounted gun, its weapons can be swapped for similar munitons with ease as can fire control systems. Avionics are quite well integrated and it would be a chore to change them, but adding on would not be as hard.

It has a radar cross section of what you would expect for a helicopter of this size, but from below its infrared footprint is much lower as is its sound level.

Its about 3,000 pounds empty.

we would like to buy 100 OH-4Bs.

Official Message from Alexander Kirillovich Kazansky, FieldMarshal of the Republic

I wish to have one of those helicopters for my own personal use. 11 million dollars will be sent upon confirmation.

We can not sell military goods to ACTO nations. It may be possible to ship you the $4 million HH-4, in partial assemblies.
Greal: order confirmed.

The Kingdom of SaintB has an interest in purchasing production rights to the military versions of this aircraft for use as our standard light attack helicopters.

DOMESTIC Production Rights Policy/Prices
Small Arms: 500% of (1000 x single unit production cost)
Vehicles, Aircraft, Boats: 500% of (100 x single unit production cost)
Large Naval Vessels: 500% of (10 x single unit production cost)
Production rights should only be purchased if you plan to make large numbers. All production rights require that you purchase the actual Phoenix Dynamix product in the above quantities.

Our Purchase
[Using units x cost + (Cost x 500%)]

100 AH-4B + Production rights - 1.65 Billion
100 OH-4B + Production rights - 1.8 Billion
100 SH-4B + Production rights - 1.8 Billion

Total 300 Aircraft + Production rights = 5.25 Billion USD by my calculations. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Order confirmed. (If i wanted to check calculations i would have just done them for u :P)

It has as always been a pleasure. While we are currently doing business I think I shall check and see what you have in the way of infantry based Anit-Armor/Anti Air weapons.
