Like a Greek myth it flew to close to the sun
And its cockpit filled with smoke
And now they have forever clipped its wings

Emergency landings with smoke filling the cockpit
After 10 years delay and 2 billion dollars wasted the ARH Tiger is joining the Super Seasprite in being put out to pasture as too difficult too delayed too overpriced and will be retired in the early 2020s

They are thinking of something else lighter maybe unmanned maybe not. So basically they don't know.
Also the special forces are getting their own helicopters capable of light transport and armed support - sounds like Hughes 500

Shame that both of the LHD's are fucked ATM, good going maintenance crew.

Because Super Cobras are designed for maritime operations; they won't corrode as badly as Apaches, which is useful seeing as these will get used near coastlines and off of LHDs occasionally.

British modified their Apaches to operate from the HMS Ocean

The army Blackhawks and Chinooks would have similar modifications and so to the Tiger as it was intended to do the same thing, and the French used them from carriers in Libya
