    Why was the NH90 even developed when there's already the AW101 and H225M? What Europe lacked was a CH-53/CH-47 equivalent, not a medium sized helicopter.

      Why was the NH90 created when the Merlin existed is indeed the question its better in every metric.
      Europe does lack the heavy lift option, but nothing will ever come close to the reliability reputation and stellar performance of the Chinook.

        That's why Germany suddenly decided to buy Chinooks.

          Germany is a moron that originally bought the CH53 instead of the Chinook. They also bought the Tiger and the NH90, procurement of helicopters is not Germanys strong point.

          [...]
          I mean a heavy lift helicopter is probably even more expensive, you don't have to build everything yourself, buying from the US is fine too (unless you're an autistic frog)
          Chinook is already widespread in Europe so it's a good choice (used by UK, Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Greece, soon Germany)
          NH90 developers were: Germany, France, Netherlands, Italy
          what I don't get is why France and Italy participated, since they already had working and proven helicopters that seem (?) to fill literally the exact same role - H225M for France and AW101 for Italy.
          for Germany and Netherlands it at least made sense from an economic-financial perspective, building yourself is good for local industry

          Chinook is a beast. Everyone loves them civilians and militaries alike.
          No idea why Italy joined the NH90 wiki says the Army operate them and Airforce the AW101. H225M isn't really comparable to the AW101, Merlin mogs it In almost every metric. France also has a shit choice for helicopters but at least they have a cannon for the Tiger.

          The best choice for helicopters if your a Euro nation is:
          Apache for attack
          Lynx/Wildcat for Naval attack/Utility/Light attack/ASW
          AW149 or Blackhawk medium lift/utility
          AW101 for medium/heavy lift/Naval attack/ASW
          Chinook Heavy Lift

                As someone that works on Merlin, I didn't actually know others considered it to be a good aircraft. Everyone b***hes about having to work on it and acts like it's a terrible aircraft. I always thought it was pretty decent, most systems seem really reliable and even when shit gets fricked the infrastructure to support it is mostly there and it's easy to replace parts and systems. The real issue is the navy struggling to bring in enough manpower to maintain and support the aircraft is what I tend to see. And there's always fricking oil leaking from every conceivable crevice.

            Wildcat is shit for utility. Bring back the lynx.

            Basically whatever the UK uses is the benchmark.

            Except we’ve downgraded/side graded our engines for apache. When we first acquired them we put in a better engine, the US had a kerfuffle when they needed to deploy apaches to Afghanistan. We failed to fund research into upgrading it.

              Not wiesel(s) but definitely wiesel you could sling the other. CH47 is a much much superior helicopter to the CH53.

              Ospreys in "hover mode" are the loudest in my experience. I live near the top of a hill right under the flight path they use whenever POTUS is in my city so they go over me with only a few hundred feet of clearance and it's deafening. Personally I think Ospreys are cool as frick so I usually just bolt outside to watch them fly over whenever I hear them coming but the rest of the neighborhood fricking hates them.

                They always seem to fly at night for some reason, so you just see a bunch of lights. During the annual large scale military exercise they fly multiple times during the night.

            >The aircraft's development effectively began in 1983 with the Future European Fighter Aircraft programme, a multinational collaboration among the UK, Germany, France, Italy and Spain. Previously, Germany, Italy and the UK had jointly developed and deployed the Panavia Tornado combat aircraft and desired to collaborate on a new project, with additional participating EU nations. However disagreements over design authority and operational requirements led France to leave the consortium to develop the Dassault Rafale independently

The announcement of this agreement confirmed that France had chosen not to proceed as a member of the project.[3] One issue was French insistence that the aircraft be powered by the SNECMA M88, in development at the same time as the XG-40.[4]

          They left because they wanted 1. a multirole aricraft, not just an interceptor and 2. a naval version.
          And they were proven right on both points.

      New Zealand cannot afford buyers remorse. Maybe what they say is true, but I find it highly implausible that Australia couldn't make them work, while Australias significantly poorer neighbor could.
