AH-64D Apache Longbow
- Advanced Attack Helicopter -

- AH-64D Image A - AH-64D Image B - AH-64D Image C -

Origin: (Real World)
United States of America

Games Featured In:
Ace Combat: Assault Horizon

Operators:
Task Force 108

Notable Units:
Shooter Squadron / Task Force 108

Armament:
1 x 30mm M230 'Chain Gun'
8-16 x AGM-114B Hellfire ATGMs
2-4 x Hydra 70mm FFAR Pods
2 x AIM-92 BLOCK II Stinger

Overview:
The AH-64D Apache Longbow is an advanced variant of the original AH-64A Apache. The Longbow has upgraded avionics and most notably a mushroom-shaped radar above the main rotor that houses a millimeter band fire control system. This allows radar guided AGM-114B Hellfire missiles to be fired behind cover, thus reducing the risk of hostile ground fire to the aircraft. It is currently performing operational duties with Coalition forces in Afghanistan and Iraq.

I corrected a grammar error.

<<viperzerof-2>>:
ACS is a anarchy where you can get away with any stupid comment, if you like ACS fine but you're wrong. No matter what logic you come up with. It is only "fun" in an online world were these conditions of anonymity exist and people can escape their lives and play alpha pseudo intellectual.

And

Some gameplay with AH-64D. Too bad that we don't get to see the 3rd Person View and Cockpit in this one. However, from what I can say, it's pretty interesting, alhough I'd prefer jets more. Also, how did the RPG at 0:25 trigger the "Missile Alert"?

From what Rukia and another buddy of mine[Who is in the United States Air Force] has said if an object is coming at you with incredible speed and a significant heat source it automatically activates the missile warning.

WTH!!! there are no rader guided hellfires except for the L's and they were scrapped during testing due to accuracy issues. all hellfires are laser guided. really need to change that info in the article there.

Oh, I thought the MAW will only sound when there's a guided munition (Missile) closing in on your aircraft.

Northrop Grumman says there are:
Longbow Radar

As does Lockheed:
Longbow FCR and Longbow Hellfire

Not sure about the operational status, but the manufacturers are still bragging about 'em.

EDIT: But that would make the missiles the -L variant, of course.
