Um the USMC needs this

The USMC in BF2 should have this chopper... please note the picture showing soldiers parachuting out of the helicopter....who needs fast ropes :)

The Huey was the predominate troop transport helo in Vietnam. There is nothing different between the Huey and the Seahawk that would prevent Marines from parachuting out of a Seahawk.

Well thats an interesting comment. The blackhawk was actually designed specifically to replace the HUEY. The USMC does NOT use the blackhawk in real life. They still use HUEYs...a little. A huey could be the ultimate cheese though. Rockets just like the cobra, but with a minigunner on each side like the bhawk....pwnt!

P.S. The Huey and Cobra share something like 80% of their parts...just throwing that out there.

Re: Um the USMC needs this

Yes....but I like the choppers :)

And I loved how the Hueys flew in BFV.... plus this is the modern version of the UH

Re: Um the USMC needs this

well, being that the Marines dont really use Blackhawks, to be more accurate they should have some CH-46's of CH-53's. Possibly an Osprey since this game has the F35 or whatever the heck they call that thing.

Correct, the Marines don't use the Blackhawk. Good thing it's not in the game.

Hence the first name of the cobra was the Hueycobra, but then it was replaced with King Cobra and now Super Cobra.

Re: Um the USMC needs this

I thought they might have put the Chinook in as that was cool in BF:V when you could transport loads of people.

Um, i'm sorry to say that the Commanche helicopter program is frozen right now, in other words suspended. NOT YET abandoned though, but they might abandon it. But yeah, if the program kept going i think the commanche should be there too, but of course minus the stealth or else it's REALLY UNFAIR.

Ya ya ya, they dont use the seahawk either. Navy uses that.

Exactly. :)

darn was a nice looking heli would have been a lot of fun imo...

knowing the us military i doubt they would halt its development for long... if they are gonna spend god knows how much on f22 raptors (best part of $200mill???) then they would prbably work on updating their helis altho like the f15 and f22 the apache and cobra can do the job...

doubt it could really have stealth as there isnt any radar in this game on the planes...doub they would make it immune to aa either

True it would cost too much to produce a fighting force so it is frozen, also there is no need to make a new chopper because the ones in active duty are the ****, same for fighters who needs new planes when the ones we have not do the job damn well, also we are not going up agenst anyone too powerful in military might so its all a waste of money.
