Funky Munky - 'back one, steady' - my post was meant to highlight that the present Lynx doesn't perform any of those roles

However, we have more ISTAR assets than you can shake a stick at and the WAH can find its own targets quite capably.

The Mk7 Lynx had an EO turret with the TOWTI fitted (now removed) and an operator in the loop (co-pilot/AC Comd) and every battlefield helicopter has RWR fitted and most can have a .50 machine gun mounted. The Wildcat doesn't bring anything new to the party except crashworthy seats!
