RAH-66 Comanche (May 13, 2008)

Thanks to Refar for helping with the NIF.

A "What-If" unit like my YF-23. It was cancelled mainly due to the capabilities of UAVs. But it looked cool!

not modular - I may use it as a unique graphic for the gunship for the "what-if" California civ.

I gave it a texture based on the ACU

While it looks cool, the Comanche certainly wasn't actually invisible! Just hard to detect on radar! America has a lot of good technology, but we don't have any Romulan cloaking devices!

Oh, and you need to make your flag background white!

yeah I took out that xml when building the civilopedia modpack...

yeah it was supposed to be more stealthy, I never figured out how the planned to get around the propeller showing up

Looks really cool. I just compared the screenshots with a picture of a real one. Looks quite alike.

While I was a lab rat at Natick Labs, they were working on LCD displays for the Lan Warrior, that kind of worked like this. Scientist I talked to working on it said the main problem they were having was Infra Red. While the reactive cammo had a perfect chameleon affect in the visible spectrum, it lit up the uniform like a christmas tree under night vision goggles.

That was 5 years ago now, I'm sure they've gotten the technology in working prototypes now. Wouldn't be surprised to see it come out in the next decade or so for spec ops uniforms, and Armor/helis/planes.

Beautifull helo Ekmek!

Great Work

It was a sad day when I heard of the Commanche Program Cancellation
