Scorpio 0 Posted March 14, 2003 Sorry for the delay, we're finalising the scripts a bit. We had a big problem with it and we're fixing that and other stuff. It's still in stages of beta testing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peanuckle_00 0 Posted March 14, 2003 Are you going to release a dark green or black version? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scorpio 0 Posted March 14, 2003 yes, the dark green version is already done. The black version is the MH-53E Seadragon, and thats still under construction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shashman 0 Posted March 15, 2003 Doesn't look like black to me  (lol....even thought the squadron IS called the "BLACK Stallions") Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scorpio 0 Posted March 15, 2003 What about this? Seems blackish to me... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peanuckle_00 0 Posted March 15, 2003 Will there be designation numbers and a squad designation on the fuel tank as in the real pics? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scorpio 0 Posted March 15, 2003 Ehh...the MH-53E doesn't have fuel tanks. It's the gear bay, and yes they will. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peanuckle_00 0 Posted March 15, 2003 The best thing about this chopper is the electronics. It can also deploy zodiac boats from the back for navy seal operations. Would there be any chance that a zodiac boat could fit in back full of passenger and ready to drop for this model? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shashman 0 Posted March 15, 2003 @Too Tall...If you're gonna be a smartass at least make sure your quotes are correct...what I SAID was "operated at sea from a carrier" @Scorpio...Sponsons are those parts into which the gear retract, the big parts that stick out from the side....lol..hard to explain  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
