Last time I checked the V-22 is proceeding with new orders coming in. A dedicated scout/light attack heli appears dead to justify the existence of the 64's. Even if the 97 has useful capabilities the Army's Attack mafia will ignore it as it makes early retirement of the 58D a bad decision.

In the future long ranges/fast cruise will be the game changer. The 97 will not be able to do both.
