We were told we gave them to much and too little at the same time. Sometimes you just can’t appease them. Head of the KU-957 engineering team as staff were shoveled in as it was revivied from a mere maintenance and sustainment program to fulfledged R&D once more.

Along with the name change to Paladin, the KU-957 has a bit of a downsizing while still hanging onto the heavy attack helicopter role. It comes with a heavily optimized airframe which also improves on stealth characteristics. An unfortunate downside is the reduced cruise speed from the slimmed down size limiting internal systems. Paladin continues to have internal armament bays optimized to carry more as well as a new main gun that can be stowed to reduce radar returns.

Paladin overall brings many improvements in a more appropriately sized package.
