As mentioned on the other thread I think the 32 player needs a gunship i.e. a blackhawk or something to even the balance because as soon at the MEC take control of the Docks there isnt much that can be done to take it back.

If the Littlebird it too much, the next best thing is a Kiowa, with its rocket only weaponry.

with bulliet proof glass, its not just a matter of pointing your gun at the pilot and shooting any more as the only way you can do that is IF the pilots exsoces 1 of his sides open long enouth for a bulliet to go wizzing into his chest.
AA can NOT lock onto it, bulliets will only do so much damage aginst it, AT is rather hard to hit a GOOD pilot who will not fly in stait lines and really high and will use the buildings for cover. The LB is VERY mernovabal and can easily change its flight path in a m/s which will mean that if he predicts a AT missie incoming he only has to have a split second to think and change course to muck up the AT shot. Its also VERY small where as the black hawk is very big so its a much smaller target for the AT round to hit.
Then you need to think about its fire power, 2 mini guns, AND rockets, with fast speeds and sharp turning circles a good pilot can just rake the roof tops and streets and blast out all the people there before they can turn round and shoot there ATs at him.
As you can see, it could be only slightly over powered.

if you have even seen Rhino's flying on Muttra City with the LB then you'll see that adding rockets onto those on that map would be crazy
of only everyone flew like him on that map

the AT can take the blackhawk down instanly as long as it hits. Thou the littlebird if the AT hits it sometimes it only makes it smoke depending on where u hit it
a RPG aint as powerful as a AT nor can it curve.... so umm ye, its not going to help much

What makes an RPG-7 any better than an Eryx against Blackhawks?

It doesn't, I'm just saying untrained somalian militia can take down blackhawks with inferior equipment better than highly trained US, MEC, and Chinese soldiers. Just kidding with ya!

Leave the BH on Muttrah, it's fine, and adds some firepower to the slightly disadvantaged US team.
I have never had a problem with the BH, it's an easy, big, slow target.

The velocity for anti-tank weapons definitely needs to be increased, at least if the MEC wants to be able to take down enemy helicopters with RPG-7s.

Keep the BH. In fact, I say it needs to be added to the 32p version because the USMC are highly disadvantaged.

Yea but if the Miniguns on the AH-6 are overpowering then you should try it, just a suggestion for the map.
