Do the Little Birds rocketpods not work? I've never seen them in use, and the rocket pod one is in the game.

Also, will PLA/MEC ever get a version of the transport Littlebird? They have gunships, and I'm not sure if they use the transport type.

And does GB use a Littlebird variant IRL?

If every vehicle had an exact equivalent on the other side it wouldn't be a very exciting game, would it?

The PLA does have light utility helicopters that it operates as troop transports, like the Z-9.

The UK has Gazelles for reconnaissance, TAC/FAC, communications relay, airborne forward observer and very light transport. They haven't been armed with rockets since the Falklands, though, and will be replaced in the near future by an enhanced variant of the Lynx called the Battlefield Reconnaissance Helicopter.

Yes, the rocketpods do work. Extremely deadly against infantry.

Too bad they can't touch tanks

Dont think u need to worry about this too much. From the looks of it, you wont be seeing many LBs in .6.

Hm never seen those rocket pods used...which maps have the rocket ones again?

And I was j/w about the other real factions -- whether or not they get added isn't too important to me.

I kill a crapload of people with the LB....especially with the rockets.

If used by with the right pilot, it could be very very deadly to troops and light vehicles...even tanks.

make LB lookable as real life .

Personally ... LB should be a light transport ... im not to fussed if there are less attack LBs, but it would be a shame to see the transport LB go

Just off the top of my head - Gulf of Oman and Greasy Mullet have rocket Little Birds.
