Is their going to be a Russian/ MEC chinook equivalent? Like Russia/MEC keep the m-8 and it drops one and then mi-17 drops 2? Just curious.

Is the IDF HAT getting fixed? The accuracy is really bad. I was playing Iron Eagle last night and we were defending, they must have shot at least a dozen missiles at us but only one of them actually hit us.

Not only it's not as accurate as it should be. The idf uses mostly just TOW/SPIKE/looted RPGs as anti-tank weapons.

Well only real option for a Heavy Lift chopper for Russia, not really the MEC since no one in the ME uses it, is the Mi-26 but that thing is over twice the size/power of a Chinook so isn't really a very good direct comparison to it, would really need its own "super heavy lift" category just for it

But if someone made it I'm sure we could find some place for it in PR, but isn't a priority no.

Also the Mi-8 is still very much a medium lift, with the max lift of 4,740 kg, only light lift chopper the RU could have is really the Ka-60 which is still in development.

Yeah, I'm just mostly hoping to see a balance between Russian as their helicopter can only drop one crate, when france, US army and Canada all get the chinook which can drop two. I was just hoping the mi-17 could al teast be able to drop two and be the chinook "counter part".

chinook isnt employed on any US map. It was on kashan LRG for a little bit in the era of 100+ man servers, I think, but thats it.

Ah sorry misread your last post, thought you where asking for the Mi-8 to be a light chopper like the Lynx, not make the Mi-17 a Heavy Chopper like the Chinook, but that also isn't an option since a Chinook can lift well over twice the amount an Mi-17 can, its still w/e way you look at it, a medium lift chopper.

As for the "Chinook vs Ru and other factions that don't have heavy lift choppers", it isn't actually a problem. For starters, France doesn't have any Chinooks, although the Brits do which you missed out, and every faction that has a Heavy Lift Chopper, also has either one or both light and/or medium choppers, which can be used in conjunction with, or instead of, to balance out the other sides capabilities if the map is going for a mirror balance. ie 1 light lift + 1 heavy lift = (more or less) 2 medium lift helicopters.

Thanks for clearing that up for me, I thought the french are merlin were getting a chinook for some reason, and I just completely forgot about the brits.

ops: Didn't know you did asset layouts like that, I thought it was strictly a 1 for 1.

This is a question that I have wanted answered for a while. You see, I enjoy the Project Normandy mini mod a lot and think that it has some the best set of maps in the PR (personal opinion). But to be honost, I'm not really a big fan of the animations and textures for the weapons and believe that they don't look that great and do not help to keep me immersed in my favourite part of the mod. So my question to the devs is.... Are the animations and skins for the WWII arsenal updated for the up coming 1.0 patch or should I just lower my hopes on this matter?

Normandy will not be a part of 1.0, it is its own entity. We will just have to wait and see.

Damn, I always thought that pr Normandy and Vietnam going to be enhanced and worked on for the upcoming 1.0 patch. I am just hoping that there will be some change for this soon because the animations are unpleasant (I don't mean to disrespect those that helped to make it in the first place)

Post by **BloodyDeed** » 2013-04-06 14:36

Vietnam will be enhanced with 1.0, Normandy not directly.

Post by **AfterDune** » 2013-04-06 14:37

Yeah, Normandy will have better things in the future. Just won't be part of 1.0.

Damn, I am sad to hear that, but I am greatful for a response on the matter from the two of you.
