I just returned from a reunion of my old Sqn mates , most of which went on to MRH and Tiger after BH, all said the MRH generally outperformed Black Hawk in all areas except tactical landings and the SF/CT role, the problem was there was never enough serviceable to do the roles, the ADF was about to buy 15 Bell 429 to supplement the MRH in the SF/CT role, when the MRH was dumped the 429 order never went ahead as they were not needed with the Black Hawk coming back into the role, those who had direct dealings with NH industries (WO's and Maj and above now retired) all said it was hard work, but the thing that got me was almost to a man when you ask them which machine would you operate in combat it was the BH over the MRH almost every time.
The guys who went Tigar said the same dealing with Airbus was a like constantly headbutting a wall, when the French took Tiger on ops they had a 30 man Airbus support team to keep 3-4 aircraft flying, so Airbus can say they have done operational flying and performed, you can't keep a fleet of A/C going with that level of support in real life. The Guys still in have said now dealing with Lockheed Martin(Sikorsky) and Boeing the stress levels have dropped considerably and a light can be seen at the end of the tunnel at last.
