eightlein Posted November 1, 2008 Author Posted November 1, 2008 Man if you have an AH-1F Cobra in there i'm sold. Ooopps. Make that a baker's dozen. Quote
ironmike775 Posted November 1, 2008 Posted November 1, 2008 Man if you have an AH-1F Cobra in there i'm sold. AH-1Fs were not used in Vietnam. We only had AH-1Gs. The first TOW-Missile firing Cobras were the "Q" models, tested @ Ft. Knox KY October 1973. Once the Q model went into "production" the new designations...F, S, etc, started. UH-1M with French SS-11 anti-tank missiles were used in Northern I Corps during the Easter Offensive, 1972. UH-1Bs with TOW Missiles were used around Kontum, II Corps, with greater success.

eightlein Posted November 17, 2008 Author Posted November 17, 2008 YAPv2 AH-1G. The loadout shall be correct upon release. Quote
johnrey Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 Damn it!Can't have a Cobra!Oh.....is that freeware? Quote
+X RAY Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 YAPv2 AH-1G. The loadout shall be correct upon release. An ah-1G?it looks like an F seeing the flat canopy? Quote
+Crusader Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 yeah... no flat panel canopy, wire cutters, laser spot tracker housing ect on the G .... .. not to speak of the TOW system and who knows what else of the F is hidden in that pic hehe ... its not only the loadout that needs to be corrected... Quote
+allenjb42 Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 If that is an F, or even an S, then it would certainly be useful for WOE and WOI if it's too late for WOV\YAP. Quote
kukulino Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 (edited) I think it is AH-1 Bis And look very nice :yes: Edited November 17, 2008 by kukulino Quote

I'm his Beta tester. He knows. I sent him a bunch of my Vietnam photos. It will be correct. Oh, and yes, it would be good to have an IAH-1S. I was lucky enough to have flown them with the IAF 1990-1991 while stationed in Israel as the NAVAIRSYSCOM Program Manager Representative for the Night Targeting System for the USMC AH-1W & IAF IAH-1S.

You have to provide your own bar to hold up and libations, but I can already see your hands moving in the air. Quote
ironmike775 Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Welcome to CA IronMike. Great place to share your war stories. You have to provide your own bar to hold up and libations, but I can already see your hands moving in the air. Thank you....they've never stopped. After 5,000 flight hours and 3 helicopter crashes (first two were shoot-downs) I'm enjoying aerial combat...on the computer (my wife likes it a lot better too). I'm a military history fanatic...particularly aviation. I must confess, this CombatAce is usually my first check when I turn on my computer...even when I was in Afghanistan (I'm due to return early next year). Happy to provide war stories, some even true if anyone is interested. Quote
