RedRogue 0 Posted May 16, 2002 And it would be an air unit at that.... Something that I find is beginning to be excessive, but hey what can you do. What I've been waiting to see is a Mi-2 Hoplite for the East. These where in production until 1985 and just as commonly used as the Mi-8 and Mi-17. The main reason is the stripped loadout for a Mi-2 is simply a gun on the side door much like the UH-60MG in OFP right now. Also it would help alliviate the UH-60 being put in CTF missions for the East because there is no light armed helo, that isn't a sitting duck in the air to hit for the east. Not only does the Blackhawks being put available for East kinda ruin the continuity of the game, its as confusing as hell trying to figure out what chopper is friendly and what chopper isn't when you've got a big game going. And it would be a real plus for Russian specialop insertions and light deployments. Instead of using the Big Bertha of a Mi-17. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FetishFool 0 Posted May 16, 2002 Agreed. BIS won't release another helicopter. But I'm sure amateur mod makers will make all sorts of lightly armed, low cargo helicopters. A heavy-lifting Russian helicopter is on it's way. And it will most likely be lightly armed, but probably large in size. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peeps 0 Posted May 16, 2002 a good request, it certainly would prove useful for evening out the air units. But will anyone want to make it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paratrooper 0 Posted May 16, 2002 Yeah, more east equipment ingereral needed. I think that UCE's Russian Federation Troops really revived the East, so I'd like to have some modern Russian aircraft and armour too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darkhawk 0 Posted May 17, 2002 I think what the east realy needs is a true attack chopper instead of the half transport half attack chopper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
