Havoc - Mil Mi-28, Russian Attack Helicopter (CAS), sometimes also called Hind (for some reason).

It's called hind when it's a mil Mi-24 Hind, Russia has two CAS choppers, Havok and Hind

Cobra - AH-1Z Viper, USMC Attack Helicoter, never called by its actual name "Viper", but rather the name of its predecessor, the AH-1 Cobra.

Huey - UH-1N Twin Rotor/Iroquois, mainly known as the USMC transport helicopter (also used by the Canadian and German faction as a light trans chopper), the nickname comes from the english pronuntiation of the first leters "UH".

Osprey - V-22 Osprey, USMC vertical take off and landing transport plane (the only transport plane in the game), also known by players as "a ***** to fly" or the "it's gonna crash, take cover". It's easily identifiable by its huge size and unconventional shape.

Chinook - CH 47, the British heavy transport helicopter (also used by the French, and the Canadians???), possibly the largest helicopter in the game.

Used by the french as a placeholder for the Puma or Caracal, also used by the US army

Lynx - Westland Lynx, British light transport chopper.

COW - Mil Mi-8, russian heavy transport helicopter, I don't know why they call it Cow, but they do.

called cow because it's big, fat and slow

Batmobile - Chinese armoured car with remote controlled turret, fearsome little thing.

CROW - Humvee mounted with a remote controlled turret.

Also: Keypad: Keypads are the smaller, more accurate coordenates inside a grid, their numbers can be seen in the top left of the map, in the A-1 grid, or you can just look down at your keyboard and see the sequence of the numbers in your numpad because it's exactly the same.

789
456
123

Instead of what I always thought:
123
456
789

??? If so I have always done it wrong..
Please confirm or what the real standards are

RAWSwampFox wrote:APC - This is hotly contested and it depends on the server or server admin as to what these include. Normally these include any vehicle that has a gun that is mainly used for infantry support and transports players. This may or may not include the BTR, LAV, Bradley, IFV, AAV, Beast, BRDM, or any other tin can with a gun.
