Commanche was canceled. Not going to happen in this mod.

[.:a6:.Ramirez]

Why not?

[Arikara]

Because the program was scrapped.

It looks like a sweat pit to me, but yes, like meany American inventions it was shut down just before it was ready for production.

Darn

From what I know, the military thought it was too expensive to mass produce the weapon. Although a bit more advance and mobile than the Kiowa, its too much really. Since most of our forces are directed against third world nations, theres just no need for such technology atm.

In the event of a declared war with China, we are dusting these off and cranking them out.

Yes, they get to the production lines and are too expensive.

But what happens when a war appears and the US ends up fighting a strong nation?

The only real strong threat to the US is China, and we wouldn't need stealth attack helos to fight them. The AH-64 and AH-1W are better then any attack helo the Chinese have.

I admit the Commanche was an amazing piece of weaponry but it was never needed.
