Description:
AH-1W Super Cobra

Small heli, Big firepower

Developmental History

The AH-1 was rapidly developed as an interim gunship in response to the United States Army’s needs in the Vietnam War. It used the same engine, transmission and rotor system of the Bell UH-1 Iroquois, which had already proven itself to be a capable platform during the conflict, but paired it with a redesigned narrow fuselage among other features. The original AH-1, being a dedicated attack helicopter, came equipped with stub wings for various weapons, a chin-mounted gun turret, and an armored tandem cockpit, from which it was operated by a pilot and gunner. Its design was shaped to fulfill a need for a dedicated armed escort for transport helicopters, giving the latter greater survivability in contested environments. On 7 September 1965, the Model 209 prototype performed its maiden flight; after rapidly gaining the support of various senior officials, quantity production of the type proceeded rapidly with little revision.

Is it 1:1?

Its a tad oversize at 18.25 meters vs 17.6 meters Irl. This length includes the pipe decorations on the gimbal on the nose.

Is The Cockpit Realistic

Sadly no, It retails a bit of the MFD layout, but otherwise I completely winged the cockpits with disregard to the real cockpit.

Does it EHCS?

Heck yeah it does! It uses EHCS along with Newquay and Rythena weapons!
