I am suggesting this because i was in ramiel last night and the littlebird cannot keep up with the blackhawk to cover it from technicals.

The blackhawk cruises around 600

LB averages around 400


Increase LB speed to 550/600 and this will make it more effective in covering friendly air vehicles.

As well as making it a more effective scout chopper on the map kashan desert.

Also the technicals will not be able to outgun the LB so easy on insurgent maps. Because right now shooting a LB with a tech is like shooting a blimp or a slow moving weather balloon.

As far as I can tell, the little bird is actually slower than the UH-60 in real life.

UH-60L - UH-60L Black Hawk - Cruise speed @ 4000' 152 knots
UH-60 Black Hawk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Cruise speed 150 knots

OH-6 - OH-6A Cayuse / AH-6J Little Bird - Cruise speed 221 km/h (138 knots)
OH-6 Cayuse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Cruise speed 135 knots

perhaps, heck, i even think they are too weak after picking them off countless times

Locking. Re-suggestion, and LBs are actually slower than BHs in real life.
