Default Re: Speed of Apache?

Thanks pat.

Yes I looked at alot of those references - all very confusing as there is very little consensus an the speed - many quoting the Never Exceed speed as it's top speed.

some are just flat wrong... (the first table in your first post above for instance gives a top speed of 411 km/h for the super cobra - this is higher than the world record for a standard helicopter!)

I guess we may never truely know the actual speeds... the closest to a concensus I can find is for the AH-64D of max = 297 or 293 km/h (99 or 98 in game terms).

I guess what I am really asking is:
a) can we get some consistancy in the OoBs - I know they were offten (at least originally) written by different folks.
b) Is the speed for the AH-64E a typo?
