OH-58 Kiowa Helicopter

Post by Tikigod »

Can this unit be added?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OH-58_Kiowa

Gameplay Ideas:

-Recon-only Forward Air Controller airctraft. (no weapons)

-Pilot can fire smoke rockets to mark enemy troop locations. (hard to see snipers, etc) This will allow Friendly A-10's, Apaches, Armor, and Infantry see targets better.

-Pilot can fire smoke rockets to conceal troop and armor movement. i.e. between area units are moving to and enemy. Friendly units might be retreating or entering a building and would call in for smoke concealment between them and enemy.

-Pilot can fire tear-gas smoke rockets (that causes temporary blurred-blinded vision effect)

-Co-pilot passenger- controls commander turret (mast-mounted sight) with 2-3x zoom for identifying targets. This would be the equivilent functionality of what the m1a1 tank has in the commander turret view position but, would be oriented from the MSS (ball on top of rotors)
Both pilot and co-pilot would work as a team to position the MSS so the helicopter is concealed behind mountain/building/tree and copilot can see above it. Then copilot would tell pilot where to fire smoke once they pop-up and attack.

Gameplay-wise I think the MMS should have 3x zoom instead of 2x zoom and have a wide-view rather than the narrow view that you see in the gun turret in the attack choppers. This would make the Kiowa the "sniper rifle scope" of helicopters for feeding others information.

The key to modernising any weapon is covering them in glue and tossing them in a barrel of M1913 rails until they look "Modern" enough.
