Why Dnt Black Hawks Have The Big Guns!

Rofl.

The one with the rockets is actually the SeaHawk, The MEC and PLA choppers also had these rockets but I guess they felt the need to take them out. Thank god they did or blackhawk whoring would have been crazy.

No the SH-60 is the Seahawk, as seen in "Tears of the Sun". the Seahawk is always painted battelship grey(it also has the rear landing gear farther towards the crew cabin, the Army Blackhawks all have a tail mounted landing gear.), the UH-60 pictured above is part of the Pavehawk system. You can mount anything you want on the wings: 20mm Cannon pods, FFAR rockets (not missles, missles are guided, the FF in FFAR stands for "Free Flight"), Hellfires, Drop tanks, ECM Gear, Mine Dispensers, and I don't know who would do it but you can mount 1000Lb GBU Laser Guided Bombs on them.

Here is the Seahawk:

Here is the Blackhawk:

Notice the difference?

I think you should have the option to fly solo as without a crew, I wont bother as it will be a short flight.

Right, that is the whole idea, its a transport, not an attack helicopter, you are not suppost to fly alone, same goes for the attack heli btw

Its all about velocity. It's why a 7mm round from a rifle can put a hole in an old steel water heater and a 1911 .45 caliber can't.

Your point is ridiculous.
Comparing the .50 (or Russian 12.7mm) to a .45 is just plain dumb. It is all about velocity, but you are missing the other half of the equation, is is Velocity x Mass. The .50 has alot more mass than a 7.62, the .50 was originally designed as an Anti-tank gun, WW1 tanks were thin skinned, but still a German 8mm Mauser (7.92mm actually) would bounce off the hull, where as a .50, the shell and gun mostly unchanged since WW1, punched holes thru the tanks.
The reason the Minigun kills more effectly in BF2 is based on sheer volume and speed at which it delivers the projectiles, it covers a wide cone of fire whereas the .50 (or 12.7mm) delivers a more focused stream of fire at a much slower rate. So essentially the minigun is has a "shotgun" effect, whereas the .50 delivers move of a "rifle" effect, you must hit within a close vicinity of your target.
So endith the lesson.

I can't beleave some people they want the BH to be able to self repair have ubar miniguns and missles . WoW I bet your one of them people that only plays as the usmc thats just realy sad, i do actualy consider everything in this game to be pretty balanced only thing that is unbalanced. Are the transport helis the way things are in this game at the moement if you gave the BH missles the flying buses would get a giant spud gun and it would be as effect as there normal main gun is when you compare it to the BH miniguns.
