i will get you the brochure later, suffice to say they give you about 20% more chopper in your helo.
bigger engines(faster higher bigger loads), more armour, range, fire power (2xmini's + 1x tail mounted .50 in the primary model. the Aus ** version gets a couple of extra's)
lower IR sig and all digi cockpit. and some very cool electronics on board (i will show you those later.. i don't think i can spill those beans in public)

ok cool... Would it be easier to modify a current Chinook into it or not really worth it?

I suggest making it so that the sights that are 1.5x aren't doing the whole black screen thing the acog does.
It's only 1.5x, you can do it like this.

Just a thought.

As its standard to carry 2 M18A1 Claymores at section level would it be within reason to suggest replacing the 2 M49 Trip flares issued to the Specialist and instead give him one M18A1 with a command Detonator?

In this way the M18A1 wouldn't be the drop and forget killing machine we all remember and loath from BF2, it would instead work more like a Grenade trap that needs to be manually detonated.

claymores we cant really add atm main reason being that its not currently in PR's main build. Unless they bring them back i cant see it happening
