Rhino;1871663']AS565 MB Panther - French Light Transport Helicopter

(Click To Enlarge)

Design and Development
The Eurocopter AS565 Panther is the military version of the Eurocopter AS365 Dauphin. The AS565 MB is the naval version of the Panther family of helicopters. This all-weather, multi-role light helicopter can be operated from ship decks or offshore to cover a vast array of naval and ground missions such as maritime surveillance, search and rescue (SAR), casualty evacuation, vertical replenishment, offshore patrolling and counter-terrorism. The AS565 MB is the ideal complementary asset for anti-submarine warfare (ASW) and anti-surface warfare (ASuW) tasks, such as submarine and surface target destruction: It can launch its own torpedoes and provide Over-the-Horizon Targeting (OTHT) to surface ships. Offered with various armaments, including cabin-mounted 20mm cannon, AS 15 TT anti-shipping missile, Mark 46 torpedo and Whitehead A.244/S torpedo.


In-Game
In-game this helicopter will server as the French Light Transport/Utility Helicopter much like the USMC UH-1N Huey and the AAC Lynx AH7, being able to carry a squad fast and swiftly into battle, with also being able to quickly maneuver and land into those tight and tricky landing zones the bigger helicopters can't easily fit into. The AS565 MB Panther also has a FLIR camera that can rotate a full 360 degs around and look 90degs down which can be used to spot and identify enemy targets in LZs before landing using both normal and inferred views.

I think he means realitmod.com's news page Rhino, we didn't put it on moddb either afaik?

[Rhino]

You would have to talk to 2Slick4U about that

[[F|H]Zackyx]

Can you retro fit the flir feature to the hueys ?

[40mmrain]

does the trans version get crates?

[Rhino]

There are a few hints in the OP to how this is setup but for now, going to let you speculate on that

[AnimalMother.]

Have you implemented the system you suggested in the Team generator forums last summer? I remember reading it and agreeing with it (can't read that forum now).

A simple yes will do Rhino, don't think that gives anything away

[Rhino]

Well the orignal idea I think your referring to I posted at the end of 2010 but the one that may or may not have been implemented was posted at the begging of this year which is in somewhat of the same lines as the old idea but updated etc

[AnimalMother.]

Good to know. I look forward to it, definitely an improvement (from what I know) so even more so if you changed it a tad too

Well everyone out of the loop probably hates us now.

Great helicopter!
About the landing gear indicator, I think it will be kind of useless when you can't see the gauge without holding the Ctrl button and looking down.
