According KeyAero.com a report by Defense News says that the German Army has presented a “damning assessment” of NHIndustries' NH90 helicopter, highlighting a “range of deficiencies”. The 103-page report, compiled by the Army’s Luftlande und Lufttransportschule (Airborne and Air Transport School) to assess the helicopter's operational capability, says that its use is “extremely limited” and that alternative aircraft should be used “whenever possible in an operational scenario”.
Problems identified include limited ground clearance, seats not strong enough to accommodate troops, limited internal dimensions, easily damaged floor and insufficient winch capacity. The German Army Aviation has eight NH90 TTHs in service with Training Group A at Bückeburg, one in storage and another 70 on order. In total the German military has ordered 122, with the balance to be operated by the Luftwaffe (German Air Force) at a total cost of around €4.6 billion.
