Substitute LB for Lynx

[gclark03]

Until we get a working Lynx model, instead of sacrificing maps where a British recon helicopter would fit perfectly, why don't we just use the Little Bird?

Think about it this way: the MEC/PLA use British sniper rifle placeholders, most other factions don't have a SLAM equivalent that I know of, and I'm sure that the Brits aren't using Norinco shotguns, so why aren't placeholders allowed on a larger scale?

1. Little Birds are only used in the special forces support role in the US Armed forces, and I very much doubt they'd be assigned to support other forces (in the same manner the the Linebackers appear on Quinling or the Apaches on Kashan)

2. The Norinco 982 is a Chinese copy of the Remmington M870, which is used by the British Armed forces in the "brush clearing" role. Perhaps it could do with a reskin and a new "select weapon" tab, but other than that its perfectly realistic. Source. Here you can clearly see an RAF gunner holding a folding stock M870

3. The Lynx and the LB are very different helicopters. The LB isn't even on the same scale as the Gazelle, let alone the Lynx.

4. SLAMs - its the future. They could be reverse engineered, black market purchased, indigenous designs, or simply small, manageable satchel charges used by forgein forces.
