Default Attack of the "Drones" introducing the QH-50 DASH

The Gyrodyne QH-50 DASH (Drone Anti-Submarine Helicopter)


is a small drone helicopter

built by Gyrodyne Company of America for use as

a long-range anti-submarine weapon on ships

that would otherwise be too small to operate a

full-sized helicopter. It remained in production until

1969.

The DASH program was canceled in 1969 and

withdrawn from service 1968–1973.


Several are still used today for various land-based roles.



DASH role, the original marine version had a

turboshaft engine for improved performance and

the replacement of the seats and controls with a

remote-control system and stowage for two Mark

44 torpedoes. In this form the DASH could be

flown up to 22 miles (35 km) from the ship, giving

a submarine no warning that it was under attack,

at least until the torpedo entered the water



ive added these to USN Surface warships that should have em on my
Epic W@ters Mod i still need to make the model


tho fro now i just stuck 2 Vertical stacked helicopter tail rotors on a mk 46 ASW torpedo.


this new weapon gives surface ships even more ASW Attack Range & options
so in my game you use it like a RUR-5 ASROCK

these are especially useful for ships that dont have RUR-5 ASROCK,S or Helicopters


how to deploy First select it then place weapon nav marker were you want it to drop its weapons then press fire to make it fly off to that spot and drops its MARK 44 or 46 Torpedo's


Versions in my Epic W@ters game :


DSN-1 QH-50A = (pre-production not used in my game)

DSN-2 QH-50B = (pre-production not used in my game)

DSN-3 QH-50C = production Model Version 1 - (Mark 44 Torpedo)

DSN-3-QH-50D = production Model Version 2 - (Mark 46 Torpedo)

DNS-3 QH-50DM = production Model Version 2 - (Same but Better Range)


their were other models but they were army mostly so the ones i got are enough


ill put up a pic or 2 when ive got the actual model made
