Re: Apache and Hind were ridiculous choices for new vehicles in SF...

I've seen it in a couple mods already.
Project Reality has one... and it's fun ta fly.

Must be - but I guess EA put the Apache in to match the capabilities of the Hind-D. I think adding the Little-Bird would create a gross mismatch between U.S. and other forces.

Re: Apache and Hind were ridiculous choices for new vehicles in SF...

The 2 chopper choices don't really bother me(though many of your points are valid), what I hate is the 10Ft Missle Spread on the Hind. Even if you try to take out a tank length ways it is very difficult to hit with both missles, for me atleast. I don't remember the name of the map(Leviathon or something), but flying the Chopper in the dark is real sweet, just remember to put your NV on before you get in the Chopper, it seems to make it brighter in the Cockpit.

I don't like em too much, the Hind is way too unmanuverable (it is in RL too) and the Apache's gun is WAY underpowered, c'mon. It does the damage of a 20mm cannon from the cobra, and the rate of fire of a 30mm cannon from the Mi-28. It's horrible imo. They need to up the APache's gun, and the Hind's manuverability a bit.

WHY in gods name does there have to be bloody helo's in it anyway??

i was at a flag the other night on the mass destruction map, me and three squad members were defending a flag, HIND comes along with just a pilot in it and he lets of a volley of rockets at the flag we are at, we die, we all go anti tank and manage to get two rockets in him, he sods off to heal comes back and lets off another volley, we die, we get another two rockets in him, he sods off and heals again, and again and again, meanwhile some retard is using the linebacker as an anti infantry weapon because lets face it it's all it's good for

SO CRAP! now if the helos could die from one eryx it would be great but these things take a bloody army to bring down (and they handle like crap anyway) BAH i allmost hate them as much as arty

/end rant

ha ha, sorry dude. i am one of those peeps that wastes people with the choppers. i can be just as effective on the ground but if there is a chopper and no1 else wants it i am taking it. in all honesty it should go down easier. in real life a direct hit with a shoulder-mounted rocket would light it up like a candle. and personally, although i spend a lot of time in the chopper, the chopper should only have the tubes of missiles you have when you take off for reality's sake. you should have to rearm every time you empty them. that way people would be a lot more careful how they use them and dogfights would be more interesting. imo

They should of added a hang-glider with a m60 or RPG on it!:guns: or a bungie cord for those c4 guys

Re: Apache and Hind were ridiculous choices for new vehicles in SF...

Man, it's a Hind. The fact that it's a Russian product is more than enough motivation for me. Check my avatar and my sig for cryin' out loud!

Isn't all the MEC equipment (and some of the Chinese equipment) Russian?

Re: Apache and Hind were ridiculous choices for new vehicles in SF...

the norweigan mod for bf42 had a commanche in it and i loved it. hope the new mod has one.

how about the kiowa. it is actually being used in iraq right now.

http://www.army.mil/fact_files_site/kiowa/

The Kiowa Warrior is equipped with two universal quick-change weapons pylons. Each pylon can be armed with two HELLFIRE missiles, seven HYDRA 70 rockets, two air-to-air Stinger missiles, or one .50 caliber fixed forward machine gun. The armament systems combine to provide anti-armor, anti-personnel, and anti-aircraft capabilities at standoff ranges.
