Summary	0004529: Add MH-60L DAP (Direct Air Penetrator) and MH-60S Knighthawk to RHS:USAF

Revision	2018-08-29 18:28 by ricnunes
Description	Like the subject says I would like to request the addition of the MH-60L DAP (Direct Air Penetrator) for the US Army factions and the MH-60S Knighthawk for the USMC factions of the RHS:USAF mod. I could be wrong but modeling these aircraft could/should be quite straightforward since: - You already have an excellent Black Hawk helicopter basis (UH-60M) which comes with versions with external weapon/stores variants, both the 4 pylon version (ESSS - which is often seen on DAP) and the 2 pylon version (EWS - which is often seen on both DAP and MH-60S). So externally additions required would be a FLIR turret on the nose and of course "repaint textures". - Internally, the co-pilot would need to be added the gunner functions, controlling the FLIR turret while the pilot would need to have a HMD or resuming basically the same/similar as it happens with the Apache or AH-1Z. - Most of the weapons are already present and your UH-60M ESSS and EWS can already carry them - this includes the Laser Hellfire (-K, -M and -N), unguided rockets, guided rockets (DAGR), etc... Basically regarding weapons and to be more "complete" a fixed forward firing version of the M230 gun (the Apache Gun) could be added to the DAP while a fixed forward firing version of the M197 gun (the AH-1Z Gun) could be added/modeled for the MH-60S.

Window/door mounted machine guns should also be added: - Miniguns on the windows for DAP. - M240 on the windows and/or M3M .50 cal MGs on the doors for MH-60S.
