john_mcclane 0 Posted July 30, 2002 Now that quite a few people have Oxygen, I'm surprised that someone hasn't modified the OH-58 to be a proper OH-58D Kiowa Warrior. I realize that Kegety made one, but it still doesn't have a realistic looking .50 heavy machine gun on one of the weapon pylons. Seems like it should be fairly easy to change one of the FFAR pods (the MG should be mounted on the left side) to an authentic looking .50 cal MG. Detailed information and an illustration of the .50 cal MG used on the OH-58D can be found HERE. I haven't been able to find a good, close-up, high quality photo of the .50 cal mounted on an OH-58D yet. If anyone knows where a good photo can be found, please post the URL here.

Only the models that were in the OFP demo can be modified. Stuff like the Kiowa can only be retextured. To make a realistic Kiowa Warrior would require the Kiowa to be made again from scratch. There are probably other helicopters that the addon makers would rather make since there is already a Kiowa in OFP. For some good small gunship action, check out Adammo's Little Bird helicopter addon. They are superb. Chris G. aka-Miles Teg<GD> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
