actually this is a 2 seater fast atack chopper.

also the iraqi army used a varient with 4 tows.

if you want full weapons listings for the MD500 gun ship just ask i have the info.

black hawk down was a horrible film that completely obscured the lessons learned in Mogadishu by changing the real event into a disney land film.. cmon they killed like 1000 civilians... .. ..

seemed more like a pure war movie to me more guns shouting and ammo than anything to do with the politics behind the event. just a butchered version of what happened.. AID MISSION? wow

The militants in Mogadishu were the really ones who killed the civilians. I mean, who the hell hides among civilians? ****ing pathetic

I totally agree (lol first post on these forums btw, hi everyone)...

The helos should be used strictly for transport and insertions in my opinions. Keeping with the realistic infantry combat and the whole 'squad based' system that PR is trying to accomplish, it wouldn't make sense to load up gunships.

If you have a gunship, you have a hog who will take that by himself to rack up kills.

If you have a transport, then the people dedicated to flying it, will be people dedicated to helping their team in terms of transportation. It also continues to focus the gameplay on squads and teamwork.

I don't really agree with the weapons on the helicopters.

The MH-6 should not have weapons, but the Blackhawk and its foreign counterparts should (miniguns and other powerful weapons with high ROFs, not rockets/missiles/etc)

Leave the Little Bird to its current state.

If you want an attack chopper there is alwase the attack choppers, i dont see the point in haveing an attack version of the Little Bird.

A quick drop craft is more fun anyway.

Well anyways I was only thinking of something light to cover the littlebirds on their approach to the LZ. Also to provide light fire support, the AH-6 has light weapons so it wouldn't be much of a threat.

I do enjoy the current littlebird, but it can't protect itself.

for my map version a attack version of the littlebird would be nice. The cobra would be just way to powerful but a littlebird with mini guns would be gd but then ppl would hog it :neutral:

I think he means mappers can only control what goes on in their maps to a certain degree. The rest of it is down to the player, so if someone wants to be a jerk and just hog the LB and straif run everything without actually backing up his team then sadly there's no way to stop it... unless you have a Strela or something, but then you'd get a TK.
