Work-In-Progress: AW159 Wildcat

Today we’re taking a look at some early screenshots and information about the Agusta Westland AW159 Wildcat attack helicopter, coming to Great Britain in the next major update!The AW159 Wildcat is a modern multi-role helicopter developed to meet the joint requirements of the British Army and Royal Navy. This helicopter features advanced avionics and modern guided weaponry, equipped with a modern radar and an onboard defensive systems consisting of an RWR and countermeasures.[carousel autoadvance="true"][/carousel]We’ve already created the general geometry of the AW159 model and are now working on the details for it. Just from these screenshots alone, you can see just how complex the model is turning out to be. It’s going to be even cooler when the camouflage is made, which we’ll show you soon![carousel autoadvance="true"][/carousel]Work on adding the armament is proceeding separately, as this will determine the AW159’s rank and Battle Rating.

This helicopter will be able to carry a substantial amount, either 5, 10 or even 20 at once!
