OH-58D Kiowa Warrior Armed Recon Helicopter

---

The OH-58 Kiowa Warrior is an light attack and reconnaissance helicopter designed to assist ground troops by providing battlefield intelligence and direct fire support in all conditions. Able to carry a wide variety of both guided and unguided weapons, and equipped with an upgraded Mast Mounted Sight (MMS), the Kiowa Warrior is an ideal platform for armed reconnaissance.

This aircraft features state of the art technology in a small package. An integrated Datalink system enables easy management and sharing of target data with other vehicles, enhancing their capability and situational awareness. An advanced flight control system keeps the aircraft stable in all conditions and allows the pilot to shift focus to various instruments and weapon systems. The upgraded Multi-Function Display (MFD) system provides easy access to information from various screens such as the HSI or PFD, and gives improved control over display settings. A HUD overlay provides improved optics, and displays targeting and laser data in real time. To increase survivability in contested airspace, the Common Missile Warning System (CMWS) alerts the pilot of any radar lock or detection, and effectively decoys incoming missiles.

The versatility of the OH-58 Kiowa Warrior is a major contributor to its success in the battlespace. Working with other laser equipped aircraft or ground vehicles, the Kiowa Warrior can act as a launch platform for guided missiles, or provide terminal guidance for ground or sea based missile platforms. In addition to its combat roles, the Kiowa can act as a lightweight cargo helicopter carrying underslung loads, or provide limited C/SAR support by locating distress beacons.

Whatever the mission, the Kiowa Warrior is sure to make an impact.

• To change loadout, use the selector tool in the editor to fully remove the current weapons, and then copy and paste the weapons that you do want. Be sure to select ALL of the missile (there are invisible microcontrollers on top and underneath) otherwise they will not work.

Hellfire Missile

• Accurate Laser Guidance
  
• 3000m+ Range (will not track until within 2000m)
  
• True PN Navigation (compensates for wind and movement)
  
• Will automatically use the same laser frequency as the aircraft
  
• Be sure to launch in the general direction of the target

GPS/R Guided Missile

• GPS and Radio Guided
  
• High Accuracy
  
• 3000m+ Range (no LOS to target needed)
  
• Will automatically use the same datalink frequency as the aircraft
  
• Will use the Target Coordinates (set in the Target Coordinate Manager) at time of launch as target unless it receives valid datalink coordinates in flight
  
• Remembers last set of valid coordinates (jam resistant)

Sidewinder (ZE BRUH) Missile

• High Utility (Anti Air/Ground/Ship)
  
• Radar Guided
  
• Agile and trimmed flight

Light Autocannon Gunpod

• 100 Rounds Ammo
  
• Full Auto

Hydra Rocket Pod

• Rapid Fire (120 Rounds/Minute)
  
• 16 HE Rockets per pod
  
• Ripple fire when two pods are equipped results in double the rate of fire
  
• Best used when moving forward and pointing along velocity vector
