You're supposed to shoot the rocket at the merlin, not hit it with the RPG!

Was out of ammo so i just rushed it and started to beat it with my RPG... Better than using my pistol dont you think?

That does bring up a good point. Rocket fire is inferior to 50cal on helicopters, bug or intentional?

I love the Merlin because it reminds me of a gigantic jolly green chubby phallus of love and happiness? I believe it is what the jolly green giant uses to get his Mrs. preggerz!

I suppose it's hardcoded that you can't make people stand/walk around in a helicopter?

I'm surprised it hasn't been brought up in a while. I'd have thought an RPG should cause more damage to a chopper.

I've seen the merlin in PR take 2 rpg's then just fly back to base no problem.

Oh, and that door that injured 3 people... how do you or Fearosius know no one was blinded or left permanently disabled by the incident? Real funny then isn't it?

Even though no one was blinded or left permanently disabled I agree my comment was in bad taste, but I noticed you stray away from the comment you made as if to change the subject to what I said.

That a BH was shot down with an RPG by some smack heads and 21 died in the rescue operation?

I'm stating a point that the Merlin hasn't had any fatalities (at least recorded) so far. I know it hasn't been in service that long but still..

LAGG and like my instructor pilot says it climes like a 3 legged cow!

Quite a convincing argument!

I love the Merlin because it's so green and lovely looking. the blackhawk just seems bland in comparison.

Why do I love the Merlin? 'Cause it's damn funny when the brits land it and you sneak in the back...

I love the Merlin so much because you can get to tap dance in it

Post by **Dunehunter** » 2007-07-30 01:35

Maybe that's because the Merlin hasn't been in action nearly as much as the BH? I dunno much about them tbh.
