is there a reason that the Cobra only has 14 hydras, while the Havok has 40 and the WZ-10 has like 60?

yeah i dont know i knoticed that

hydras? You mean the 2.75 in, rockets or the hellfires? if the rockets, I think it's cause a cobra has two 7 shot rocket pods. Umm don't know about the other ones, just the bird I worked on!

yes, that's true. one of the things of realism is that some vehicles carry more ammo than others. the devs have assigned the ammount of rockets to each helicopter that is seen on the model. (so dice modelled 2 7-shot pods onto the cobra, and the other models would fit 40 or so rockets) it may seem unfair, but that's the other side of realism and tbh i think it's not that much of a problem. you'll never need 40-60 rockets anyway.

same has been done to planes btw as far as i know.

Imo FFARs and similars are to strong. You can't take out a MBT with rockets meant for soft targets. Can this be changed?? PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE

that's true there, not even with a High Explosive warhead you couldn't take out a tank. Mabe an APC, but not a tank.

I sure hope the Devs remove the pilot's ability to take out armor with a few salvos of non-shaped-charge rockets, its really lame! Its been a complaint of mine since BF2 first came out!

Yep, what you need a gunner for anyway when you have your FFARs??

Definatly somethin that needs to be changed.

The "dumbfire" FFAR missles on Helos are FAR too powerful to even be concieved of as an FFAR. Those missles are strictly for bunkers, buildings, infantry, very lightly armored vehicles and boats. These NEED to be changed.

As far as ammunition of the PODs goes, well, alls fair in love and war. The bigger the helo, the more pylons it can consist of. The more pylons it has, the more pods it can have OR, BIGGER pods can be applied on the pylons.

What confuses me is why EA Games gave the USMC only the AH-1Z as opposed to the AH-64D. Now the Marines dont generally use Apaches but why not? Personally they didnt give the Cobra enough power if you ask me.

Oh yea, what ever happend to RADAR...All these modern vehicles, yet no RADAR or even FLIR....What a damn shame..

make them whatever they are IRL.

i kinna agree. it would suck but its true. tanks are meant to rule the battlefield. they have like a million miles of armour with a huge cannon slapped ontop of it plus an MG next to that. thats like a moving, metal piece of death! and fishwork to what you said about being set if we lower the damage, nag we wont be set till i get my 2 gig of ram and my uber graphics card so i can run the graphical settings on a good quality without a tonne of PC lag.

A few FFAR's would nuke an Abrams. They're very poorly armoured up top with only 15mm of steel. That's why they're pretty much banned from urban combat in reality because a bad guy could be lurking on a roof top with an RPG or something.
