Add IDF Apache To Gaza Beach

Well as it is , IDF Loses on this map about 8 times out of 10.
Im suggesting an apache to give the IDF a little more balance.
Now most of you will say 1 KM maps are to small for choppers, but i disagree, Choppers can fly on any size map because they can HOVER unlike jets that go out of bounds on small maps.
If there were a chopper on gaza beach , it could be very useful, Hovering over the ocean providing fire support into the city.
It could even Team up with the tank and they could work together as a team and cover eachother from technicals and bomb cars.
This would be epic for gaza beach and make the map more balanced and give the IDF a fighting chance to actually win for once.
Asset Layout
1 Merkava Tank
1 IDF apache
2 - 50 Caliber APCs
1 - Logistic APC
2 - IDF un armored Hummvees
1 - Logi truck

Its too small for an Apache to work...
It would just get raped on takeoff.

Thats why there is a tank to support the apache on take off.
Also the ocean on Gaza beach is very large and you can fly out there and not be seen by technicals.
SKILLED pilots will know how to put this chopper to use on Gaza, If you are not skilled you will be raped and raped again by technicals.

I say give them a bunch of F-16s, or maybe a tactical nuclear missile?

Gaza is definitely too small for an Apache helicopter.
The map already has very high firepower for its size; there are tanks, apcs and TOW/HMG support from the FOBs.

definitely small map for Apache. But may be a LB would give some support. I agree that INS win ratio is higher in Gaza but I'm not complaining as an INS side lover

There is really no point putting any chopper on Gaza, its just too small.

+1 to original post - I mean, Come on! 2 Tanks ISN'T ENOUGH! IF we get an Apache then we need a Transport helicopter too, because I hate walking.

Maybe IDF can get those 2 ships from Rhino's signature? I think they could win then....

Well IRL if IDF had to assault there they would start with at least 10 tanks, IFV's typically IDF overkill but this is PR....

They wouldn't be very useful since they are mainly anti-air destroyers, all you could do with them is use there 155mm gun to put rapid fire on the city

Pretty, epically since one canon has a rate of fire of 24 rounds per min and the rounds are high explosive

Players need to learn to support armor in city maps. If armor takes the lead in a city map the way it does on a map like Kashan its going to get ambushed. However if armor sticks with the infantry or even lags behind the infantry so they can shoot gunners in tow or gun emplacements or the like the IDF should be pretty much unstoppable on Gaza beach.

Yeah, any helicopters taking off from the IDF's main would get instantly ravanged. I've played Gaza several times where the tanks dont even make it 10m out of the main before they're destroyed (might add that someone on the IDF thought it would be fun to grab a HAT kit so that helped...)
