New Unit: Ah64D Longbow Apache

[Kal-el]

ok, I'll take that.

 

[John Falkner]

But we need a "Bebrorussiancopter" too

 

[Kal-el]

Here are the latest Russian Attack Copters
The KA-50 Black Shark

The KA-50sh Night Shark

The KA-52 Alligator (two seat variant of the KA-50)

and the latest concept revealed in 2001
the Kazan Military Ansat

 

[BeBro]

I think ripptide will make an Ka50 or 52

 

[Kal-el]

do you have that on good authority, or are you just guessing?

 

[BeBro]

Saw a preview pic

 

[Kal-el]

good enough for me.

 

[Mr. Dictator]

how bout the KA-60 Kasatka

 

[Lynx-Eyed]

Great unit, good job!!!

That Kazan chopper looks like a bad model bash of an attack helicopter and a small civillian chopper.

Though make the KA-50/52 and also the Mil Havoc...forgot the number..something like 38? Too lazy to check. I'd have those for multi-nations, atleast one, like Russia kinda has been thinking of doing if I'm correct, but give the Russkies those 2, as well as the beloved Hind....or...um..something

[SuperBeaverInc.]

That Ansat looks funny

Why the big deal between making attack helos land or air units? I've created air unit AH-1 and AH-64s that work just fine attacking land forces. Whats the difference? Also, do you have any experience creating air ASW units? I have created a P-3 unit, along with SH-60 and SH-3 units, but for some reason they can not detect submarines when I send them on recon missions even though I clicked "DETECT INVISIBLE" in the editor when I created them.

When an air unit is attacked by a ground unit it is automatically destroyed, alot of people find this unrealistic for a helicopter.

 

[cldwarhist]

I agree., but I think it would be true for any air unit, because of the ground support personnel. I have thought about making units that serve as support elements to go along with my air units and giving them a defensive value of 1 or 2. Has anyone tried making a battlefield SAM system?

I may decide to switch AttackA, and AttackB, just because B looks like what I have seen on the news a lot, with tank killing, or maybe do away with A altogeather (although it does look cool).

Great unit!

 

[Exel]

Very nice work!

Now if only there was a decent way to implement choppers in Civ...

If you're planning on doing Russian choppers I'd suggest you make Ka-52 Alligator for Russians themselves and Mi-28 Havoc for its export customers.

 

[Gringo]

First let me say... You have absolutely no idea how LOOOOOOOOONG I have waited for this unit... it was long overdue, and you certainly came through with real style,
the wait was worth while.

Incredible unit man, seriously, I will have a picture of you in a shrine not really...

But this unit will no doubt make alot of mods out there finally COMPLETE!

Thank you...

 

[charlesolmsted]

If the Apache Longbow is a land unit, that means it cannot attack sea units or cross sea, correct? Also what stats do you suggest for it? It looks absolutely fabulous.

 

[Chauliodus]

If you do make a Russian heli, do the Hind, it was and remains Russias prime attack chopper.
