I don't know why they still use the Apache in Ace Combat. Why not use a cooler, machine

[JianDaoXiao]

Why Namco lost the interest in this machine?... Since PS1, not appear anymore
Or USA stop the production of this one?

The project was cancelled the project in 2004, due to the lack of funds to renovate existing helicopters and the growing interest in UAVs.

Edit:

Also, here's an image of a RAH-66 in flight:

haha, so common image XD
btw, oh, so sad... this one was so cool in Hulk 1

Me too. Maybe in AC, RAH-66 was USEA-only?

Like I said earlier in this topic, swap the Apache for the Comanche. (sorry to any Apache fans here )

What bugs me is the Apache is too easy to destroy, if they brought back the RAH-66 they could give it it's stealth features and make the game a bit more challenging. (By a tiny bit).
