Project Reality Forums

What do you think? I think that would be a lot better. Or even just one little bird would be enough. Not sure what kind of realism it would bring, do the brits use the little bird in real life? whats their light transport chopper?

i think its a brilliant idea, i brought it up earlier, but no response yet. The merlin is a nice chopper for the other maps its used in, but in this map... the merlin has a glitch problem and its just not cutting edge for that sort of fight... one littlebird would do plenty wonders.

It might, but the British do not use it. Also, I haven't had much trouble using it. It's nimble enough to make drops/pickups on roofs, including the Hotel one, so it's not that bad.

It's an awesome chopper, but in this edition the lag from being the pilot in it is INSANE so I cannot use it :<

I think GB will get the Westland Lynx as a small recon helicopter sometime in the future.

Why's everyone obsessed with the littelbird? British do not use it, their recon bird should be a gazelle, though i would love to see the lynx in as a transport chopper, plus maybe gunship with TOW missiles.

As for the little bird, I don't think it’s even in main stream service in the US forces at the moment, only the 160th SOAR use it.

Sorry but I think there's only TWO maps with the Merlin in, and as a Transport Chopper Pilot player, and British IRL, you can imagine how much I long to fly that thing?

Leave it in.

Its tiny engine can barely lift a full load so I doubt the main services want it. Its a pile off poop.

The Lynx is a light utility helicopter mainly, it is the fastest and most agile helicopter that we will see in PR so in this case we should just wait for the Lynx.

Merlin is far too beautiful + teamwork effective bird leave the baby in

As said countless times before, PR is not a US kit love-in for all factions. We try to be as realistic as possible when looking at equipment and loadouts. UK Forces do not use the AH-6 or MH-6 at all. Even conventional US forces do not use them. As much as I'd like to see the gazelle or the Lynx ingame, we do not have any plans set in stone for this.

The Merlin is in extensive use in Iraq as a general duties helicopter, ranging from casevac to troop transport. It stays for now.

Lynx ftw

Guess the OP serves his name right *cough*

(ok that one was bad )

remove the merlin becuase its un-flyable. or just copy the blackhawk code and paste it on the merlin

If you can't fly it, don't fly it - But I have a pretty bloody good time flying it.

Uh, the Littlebird its vulnerable, whit a good shooter, or 30 rounds of AK47 on the chopper, you can kill the pilot =/

well this idea sucked.

Chinook or Merlin, choose.

Since the Chinook can't be implied realistically:

M-E-R-L-I-N

Based on your extensive experience as a helicopter pilot or maintenance professional, eh?

Not happening. Thread locked.
