6,BUT DEPENDS ON HOW THE REST OF YOUR HOG IS LOADED OUT TOO
4 IS A MORE REAL LOAD
10 HAS NEVER EVER BEEN

LOMAC is correct.

LAU-88's can carry 3 each with LAUs only suitable to mount on stations 3 and 9 = 6 total.

Cheers...

"Warthog 30 has left the building..."

cant an apache carry 8??? just curious? 4 on each weapons pod?

An Apache can't even carry 1..., but the Cobra can!<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

An Apache could theoreticly bear the weight of four Mavs(the smaller warhead models), but it's never been wired for it, nor is there any plan to do so.

They'd need new firing rails for em too.

ok, so this leads me to my next question. hope i dont get anyones panties in a bunch for "jumping off topic". Which is the better tank killer the hog or the longbow????

The TADS/PNVS sensors in the nose include infrared and TV cameras and a laser designation system.
Apaches carry up to 1,200 rounds of 30-mm ammunition for the Chain Gun. It can fire at up to 625 rounds per minute and it weighs 123 pounds.
Stub wings carry up to 16 missiles or four pods containing 76 folding-fin 70-mm high-explosive rockets.
The structure of the AH-64 is designed to allow it to withstand hits from high explosive rounds of up to 23-mm.
The two tail rotor blades cross at 55o, which reduces the amount of noise they generate.
The four-blade main rotor is of laminated steel, glass-reinforced plastic and composite construction.
Key propulsion components are armored protected.
Communications and avionics systems are carried in armored fairings on each side of the fuselage.
The engines are fitted with "Black Hold", infrared suppression systems to protect against heat-seeking missiles.
The Longbow Apache is equipped with millimetric radar that sees through rain, fog, and snow.
The Apache is designed to survive hits from 23-mm cannon, and the cockpit to withstand hitting the ground at one-half foot per second.
The Apache uses a super-heated ceramic block to deceived enemy heat-seeking missiles, a deadly accurate threat.
The 16 laser-guided Hellfire missiles can reach 12 miles to destroy a tank.
The Apache uses digital technology to pinpoint targets for commanders, other helicopters, tanks and vehicles.
The Apache can withstand a direct strike by lightning.
More than 800 Apaches are in service worldwide.
The Apache features UHF and VHF radios, voice and digital communication, and electronic counter-measure frequency-hopping capabilities.
Apache Longbow crews can even communicate without any one speaking.
Apache Longbow's radar can scan, detect, and classify more than 128 targets, prioritize the 16 most dangerous ones, transmit the information to other aircraft, and initiate an attack all in less than 30 seconds.
The M230 can hit a target the size of a television screen from about 2.5 miles away.
Using the Sideloader loading system, (a system developed by Boeing that enables soldiers to load 11-round strips of ammunition directly to the 30mm gun) one soldier can load 1,075 rounds into the Apache Longbow in less than 15 minutes.
A laser Hellfire missile will automatically steer out of cloud covering and reacquire its target.
The Apache Longbow airframe, made of aluminum alloy, has proven its agility by performing a series of loops, rolls and other maneuvers at gross weights exceeding 16,000 lbs. (7264 kg) at air shows in the U.S. and around the world.
Fuselage design ensures crew survival at a vertical impact of 42 feet per second.

ok so of course the hog can carry more these are the facts, but what about effective kills?? the apache is a dedicated "tank killer" it seems like it carries more anti-tank weapons and the hog is of course close air support that carries an asortment of weapons.

I would say Longbow is more effective in nasty weather, A-10 in good weather.

do they allow Apache's to fly in sandstorms?

how many Apache's were put out of action through sand vs the A-10?

unless the apache has lots of support vs ground fire its nowhere as effective at killing armour than the hog..

That's because the sim community has already started to "hack" the features (sometimes needed to get to features which were locked-out by mistake by UBI) sometime hacked and added because the person doing the mod doesn't know how many should be avalable.

THEN WHY ASK US HOW MANY IF YOUR GOING TO DO WHAT YOU WANT?

6 IS THE MOST PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BUT I CANT SEE PLAYING SOMETHING THAT HAD SO MUCH WORK PUT INTO TO HAVE IT CLOSE TO REAL WORLD,THEN FIX IT SO IT CAN CARRY WHAT YOU WANT.

IF YOU WANT TO PLAY,THEN GO AHEAD ITS FUN,

IF YOU WANT TO BE REAL WORLD THEN STICK TO THE SPEC'S.

Longbow (not the same as Apache) can attack at night and in fog rain snow etc A-10 can only attck at night with the LITENING pod and thats an add on.
BTW, is there any reason the Pave Penny pylon couldent be modded to carry the LITENING pod? does LITENING have a LST?

Whats wrong with FAS?

when ever i need something to entertain the kids.. I print off their Line art.

kids love to color them in with crayons.

I asked because i read in a book that it was 10.
In LOMAC i could only get 6.

Thats why i asked.

Since then i have discovered it can take 10 in LOMAC.

I never said i was using 10 only that it can.
