'[MPN wrote:Slouch2;1023449']If anything Australian radio chatter tends to be a little under-emphasized. If a company was surrounded, taking heavy effective fire, and running out of ammo if you asked the company commander how things were going all he would say is "We're in a spot of trouble, yes."
But his platoon commanders would probably all be shitting bricks.

Oh I would have to disagree- the following video is after the initial start of a fairly heavy contact. The lad talking at the start of the video is the platoon commander.

Seen that before, we probably all have, but he's not surrounded, taking effective fire at all (let alone heavy) and seems to have plenty of ammo.

just as another random thought/suggestion. and i would like constructive comment here.
is it impossible to replace the wrench and wrench functions on a combat engineer, with say a oxy torch(the small handheld one), and if possible how much can you tweek the functions of a wrench/oxy torch to perform more tasks?

i am really only thinking of a aesthetics change, to change the look of the wrench more than any thing, i didn't really think we could make it do other stuff, (just a wild fanciful wish). and i guess you'd be right. probably be very unbalanced.
(and to kill the comment that i know will come, i did use search, and no those threads are not the same)

Am I right in saying that the Blackhawk is being replaced by the NH-90? (Or some other variant, NRH-90 or something). I probably isn't necassary for the first release but what are the thoughts on it?

yeah maybe in the long run but for now or as a first release it will be just the BHs as as to my knowledge we currently dont have any NRH-90s in service tho i do know they are on contract
