Maybe not Noob, the S-76D is heavy and in cooler climates carries less payload than the S-76C++.

In reality, it doesn't carry much more than an AW169, it isn't certified to the same standards as the AW169 and it will probably cost $4m more. Bristow got a massive bargain basement deal to give the D some traction in the oil market when everyone else, even loyal Sikorsky customers have said, no thanks.
