Would you like to see the Kiowa in PR??? maybe to replace on some maps the Oh-6 Littlebird as the primary attack LB. to add a little spice!

currently a model is being made!

what are your thoughts...

background curtious of wiki

"In the latter part of 1980, the US Army announced its requirement for a new scout helicopter under the Army Helicopter Improvement Program (AHIP).

In a year's time, Bell's OH-58D was chosen as winner of the competition and in late 1985, the first Kiowa Warrior was delivered to the Army.

Although similar in appearance to its predecessor (the OH-58A Kiowa) the Warrior is far more powerful and maneuverable. The OH-58D is designed for precise control during nap-of-the-earth (noe) flight and can maintain a heading control in winds up to 35 knots.
A significant feature of the Warrior is the mast mounted sight (MMS) located above the main rotor. Television, thermal imaging, and laser range finding are transmitted from the MMS to multifunction displays (MFD) inside the cockpit.
Using the MMS, the Warrior can hide below treelines and ground contours while locating, and designating targets for other helicopters or field artillery."

there has even been a WIP moddel made by the devs, but i think other things have highter priority, we don't even have the US ARMY ingame, so we also do not need their choppers

US Army is in .8, however I do not think the Kiowa is even going to be appearing in PR much at all.

you might be right, it simply fits not into the vehicle cathegorys we have at the moment, since there are only light utility, attack and transport helos, but no scout/support helos like the kiowa and its job can also be done by littlebirds and blackhawks
