What went wrong?

Never intended for use.

A stealth-ishigh scout copter makes little senseconomic.

A stealthy blackhawk makes a lot of sense aND shoulent be known about

The end of the Cold War killed the A12 and Comanche and foreshortened the production runs of the F-22 and Seawolf.

>>33714104
destructive attack chopper to good for the battlefield too pure

at least they borrowed elements of her design for that stealh blackhawk that I have no idea why hasn't been declassified after survivinng insurgents totally took a picture of the broken tail rotor

>>33714267
The A-12 Avenger killed itself by being a non-stealthy, way overweight stealth bomber.

>>33714104
Would probably be more stealth if they didn't paint parts of it bright orange desu

>>33714448
That's obviously the airsoft version

DoD wanted it to be

>stealthy
>armored as a fucking Apache
>carry around the same Apache weaponry
>mount some idgaf on rotor mast cause hey we don't need the Kiowa anymore
>other gigs that made the F-35 as fat as the average american citizen

then

>muh weight
>muh engine
>muh this
>muh that
>muh price
>let's kill it

This happened ~kamo

>>33714104
By nature of the tactics they use, US helos are already stealthy, Apaches and little birds and the like have been using terrain masking since the 80's. The commanche was pretty much unnecessary and uneeded

>>33715528

I could see some opportunities to use it, like the raids on Ben Laden face, but it would cost a lot, for a few choppa.

>>33714193
For all that come true, why it has to be the GLA and not this?

>>33714193

Is that the canned Generals 2? Why does it look actually good?

>>33714131
B-but I want one.

Drones do its job better and cheaper

>TFW you never got to unlock the Longbow Apache or Comanche in Micropros Gunship 2000

>>33714104
Nah man, drones took on the role of recon and swift strike.
I think there are probably a couple of these things hanging around for some kind of quick response team for going deep but overall I think they just decided why not get air superiority and just roll loud with bigger payloads.

That's because the Novalogic games were shit. There was only ONE comanche game worth playing

TFW that most of /k/ will never know the joy of customizing the weaponry on your helicopter, on the light line or a helicopter carrier

>*Sighs intensifies

That's definitely Red Alert 3.
Probably a mod that puts Generals factions into that game.

A-12 was stealthy thou senpai.

>>33714193
rocket pods are now available, sir!

>>33714104
2 expensive for its own good. Choppers can only be so stealthy and since the Apache provided similar capabilities minus stealth, it got the axe.

As much as I absolutely fucking love the RAH-66, it really is a chopper we can live without. That being said, how sexy would a pair of Comanches escorting a pair of stealth "Blackhawks" behind enemy lines be?

In a perfect world, they'd be in service.

>>33715356

the Apache isn't armored, it's just built to get shot to shit without going down

I'm on one of the 3 seawolfs. Cold War as fuck, she's over engineered to hell and back and the F22 of the sea, no submarine in existence right now would be an even match in a one on one type scenario.
