During the time of my "problems" I've had some time to think about things in particular of helos within the game and how I've submitted them. Combining game and real life realities and limitations, I've been wrong in some of my past submissions, there has to be some "
ascendancy" here driven by the fact that a country is not going to sell it's top equipment with if you will "
with its full kit" currently the
AH-64E GUARDIAN enjoys a TI/GSR of 60 which is game limited and fine for the U.S. it's their/our "baby" but with the
possible exception of the UK, for TAIWAN and SOUTH KOREA definitely not especially given the "neighborhood" they'd be operating in the same would be true for INDIA as well who's the newest customer to receive this helicopter and the following ref. shows what system (FCS Radar) they've approved to get which is making my point for me.

That radar was on the
AH-64D LONGBOW which in the USA is/has already started being converted to the
AH-64E GUARDIAN. This (game) can't be just about parity without a dose of reality to temper it. Countries have advantages and disadvantages and are we not paying for that when you buy/choose a certain piece of equipment?
In my mind right now U.S. stays at 60, UK 55 and the rest 50 TI/GSR which would eventually in POLAND as well once their program funding issues are resolved. The current USA version is already in a
BLOCK III configuration.

I'm not however saying the U.S. "
owns the block" Russia, Germany/France, Italy, Israel (That has a
very long history of buying equipment and
improving them on their own.) and South Africa (Yes the
ROOIVALK when it first appeared it was considered for a while the most advanced helo in it's class. After being taken out of operational service for
18 months the much improved version the
ROOIVALK MK1 (Game entered.) still ranks among the best flying now.) the last two countries being the "
David's amongest the Goliath's". Original ROOIVALK...

Not much on specifics on the
MK1 either just maybe
SADF doesn't what to talk about it much beyond the "generalities" of that helo.
