I never understood why the BH had splash to begin with. The Hippo Has no splash, and piece of crap PKM's on it and you cant hit infantry for **** with it. So why does the blackhawk get an upgrade, and the hippo doesn't ?

Oh I love flying the hippo too, its just plain fun to fly, but in comparison to the blackhawk... well there isnt any. The blackhawk is better in everyway, better guns, and you can shoot out both sides instead of just out the back. It also has a smaller profile.

Anyone have any tips on reverting back to v1.41? Or, know of any good threads about the topic?

Exactly the point of my post. Put the Havok's guns on the MEC transport and then you'll have some action!

This.

Also, is it just me or are there no servers showing up after patching to Beta 3? I'm assuming it's a problem on my end. Any ideas/solutions?

Thanks.

The 30mm rape cannon on the transport? :shakehead:

But there should be something better than the jeep's .50-cal, like explosive rounds with splash damage. Why do the BH guns even get splash damage? Shouldn't the ROF of the miniguns make up for it?

If you didn't back up your Battlefield 2 folder under program files, you'll have to reinstall and repatch to 1.41.

Actually, I was thinking of that gun. I've got a few posts here on TGN where I have suggested it, just turn the damage down like they did when 1.41 came out. They really gimped the attack choppers with less missiles and weaker forward gun. Just use the weaker cannon on the transport. Up the power on the BH, make it about even and call it a day. I think giving it slight more damage would make of up its poor handling and perceived slow speeds in view of the power the BH seems to have.

Army hardware takes too long to spawn on Wake Island - Investigating

The Cobra only spawns ever 60s and it's something like 90 for the F35. It really sucks to be the US on that map.

The simplest solution is to put (modified looking) mini-guns on the Hippo. Then at least the firepower of both choppers would be even or even give it a single rocket pod on it (leave the guns like they are) like they did in POE 2
