Congrats you are rating it as a no.1 cause you have seen it killing people running around with nothing better to do. People could do the same with a WW2 attack chopper or Gyrocopter..

Edit: Pollux These which is the best threads are so useless its unbeleivable you just post pictures and which country they come from and no other info as well as when you add the country it can bias people. Not a flame just a suggestion to add a bit of statistics like top speed service ceiling armament and range. As for me its 1 in the morning and ill see you all in the morning.

Of those I went for the Apache.

But I like the Ka-50-2 Erdogan the best. Very similar to the normal Ka-50 (Black Shark, though I always prefered Werewolf) but with some important improvements.

The Comanche? The program was cancelled in favor of moving the funds to upgrade existing helicopters.

sadly enough, what a beast
perhaps a little light on the guns, but heavy on the stealth

Apache. Period.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AH-64_Apache
"The advanced model, the AH-64D Apache Longbow, is equipped with an improved sensor suite and weapon systems. The key improvement over the A-variant is the AN/APG-78 Longbow dome installed over the main rotor which houses a millimeter-wave Fire Control Radar (FCR) target acquisition system. The elevated position of the radome allows detection and (arcing) missile engagement of targets even when the helicopter itself is concealed by an obstacle (e.g. terrain, trees or buildings). Further, a radio modem integrated with the sensor suite allows a D-variant Apache to share targeting data with other AH-64Ds that do not have a line-of-sight to the target. In this manner a group of Apaches can engage multiple targets but only reveal the radome of one D-variant Apache."

Armament
Guns: 1× M230 30 mm (1.18 in) cannon, 1,200 rounds
Missiles: combination of AGM-114 Hellfire, AIM-92 Stinger, AIM-9 Sidewinder, Hydra 70 FFARockets

Mi-28 \ Apache . Both pretty similar by ttc , have mostly the same ( comparable ) armanent .

I absoloutley hate the HIND. It may be good in real life, actulaly..it isnt... but it just has always sucked hard in every game and mod ever in history. It just doesn't make sense either. I hope all countries who were stupid enough to buy one immideatly strip it of its weapons and recycle the metal into something more useful like a bus. Then give the weapons to something more worthy and practical.

I'll base my decision on looks. The AH Cobra looks the best there.

That Kamov just looks dumb, why the hell do so many countries buy russian shit. They'd be better off making there own stuff.

Because Russian 'shit' is cheap, high quality and probably the best value military tech available. Developing your own weapons costs loads of money.

The KA-52 has outperformed the Apache in many tests. I doubt it's as good overall, but I bet it's much cheaper.

The KA-50 is not so good though.

God you are dumb. How can you say something like "many" tests and still say it's not as good overall.

Anyways, I don't know much about rl choppers, as I'm sure none of you do either, but the military channel voted the Apache number 1.

Again, we can't really say who are the best, since we haven't really seen the Mi-28 or KA-50 in action.

I vote for KA-50 though, because dual main rotors > tail rotor

Maybe because many tests doesn't equal every test? Just guessing.
