Yes they do. It's pretty slick, I have to say.
The Block II and AH-64As will lack CMWS but the Block III will have it. So for the Block II and earlier only radar or laser guided missiles will be detected; passive IR missiles will not trigger a warning nor an automatic jammer/countermeasure release. The WAH-64/Mk1 will have this HIADS you speak of but we haven't done the research yet for proper scripting and implementation of that particular system. The ASE page has not been completed for the aircraft yet and missile detection/spoofing is currently rudimentary.Originally Posted by Scarecrow398
The first pack we intend to release as AH-64A in Early and Late variations, AH-64D Block II, and Block III. This is subject to change of course but that is the plan. Post release will likely be Block II+ with CMWS and ASPI and Block III with ASPI. After that it will probably be a coin toss between Dutch AH-64Ds, WAH-64/Mk1, or Israeli Sarif/Peten.
This is amazing work! Seriously this is going to be the BEST vehicle mod/addon release of ArmA history. I can't wait until this is released.
I'm new to this thread and I'm not sure if you guys have your own site at which this will be available for download or if it'll be released on armaholic. Is there any eta? Probably not as you can put a time limited on a masterpiece such as this.
God, I just got done using the apache with the blew ace 2 features and it's killing me to use your model. The weapons load out capabilities are great. I really hope to see this in ArmA 3 and I also hope that maybe you'll make a RAH-66 Comanche model as well. If anybody could do it, you could.
Oh cool...glad you guys decided to do the ASPI models.
Also is the VUIT mast going to be post release or is that under he Block III models?
there is no set at the ETA mainly because things are still evolving to some degrees. I would say that there are significantly less hurdles however, we have most pages done, weapon systems are for the most part set..texture can be re-released as a downloadable upgrade if it helps speed things up. Aside from the damage and a few other things I'd say most (not all) things are about fine tuning at this point. RAH-66 is something I'm eyeballing but it would be more of a back project, since the primary goal of this aircraft is more about simulating the real thing as opposed to balance, I want to bring an opposing aircraft in with similar capability to balance in its own way.
VUIT-2 will be included with B3 since it uses mostly the same things the radar uses.
So that pretty much limits it to the Mi-28, Ka-50 or 52 then, huh?
I guess it does, I wonder which of them it will be, which one is a two seater, designed primarily for anti tank and comes with an analogue and digital version, thus perfectly complimenting the AH-64A and AH-64D...hmm...

Mi-28 eh? I'm already drooling enough at the prospect of the AH-64.
Out of curiosity, if you were to ever do a European attack helo, do you think you would go for the Eurocopter Tiger or A129 Mangusta?
The Defence system installed on the AH MK1 is called HIDAS or Helicopter Integrated Defence Aid Suite. Unfortunately I was looking on the internet for some unrestricted information for you guys as unfortunately all the information I personally have is UK Restricted and I may get in a little bit (Hell of a lot) of trouble posting it here.
Ignore my last. Here is a little article on Janes about HIDAS http://articles.janes.com/articles/J...d-Kingdom.html enjoy.
