Heatseeker 0 Posted December 26, 2003 I apologise if this has been answered but will the pavies come with new navy pilots Hm.. theres some more units out that could use some navy air transport . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pavehawks are Airforce helicopters so for that reason, they won't have Navy pilots... As for whether they will have new Airforce pilots, that is still under team consideration...

blackdog~ 0 Posted December 26, 2003 Wrong thread, but are you planning to include the Volcano mine dispensor(sp) on any ----hawk models you make? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And although America hasnt signed the treaty, the use of landmines would be minimal in a modern war scenario. Edit: Post #1000 w00t! *ahem*... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I tought the u.s. navy used Pavehawks Hehe, confusing isnt it. As a rule of thumb the Navy uses Seahawks, the Airforce uses Pavehawks, and the Army uses Night and Blackhawks Read the info pages on our site (link in sig) for more info. And that the pavies were being made so we could use them with the seals or something, bah im just ignorant in this military stuff... The pavehawks are being made because both Tigershark and Ebud have a fondness for the aircraft, IIRC Ebud worked on them in his time in the Airforce, so its understandable really Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cpt. FrostBite 0 Posted December 26, 2003 The seahawk is made so we can use it with the seals. [edit] sorry; the seahawk is being made I really have to work on my english [/edit] @dm; congrats on your 1000+ post count  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And although America hasnt signed the treaty, the use of landmines would be minimal in a modern war scenario. That depends on what kind of mines we are talking about. Strict Anti-tank mines are still OK and is used by the countries who signed that treaty. AP mines are also OK if they're remote controlled by a soldier as far as i know... Don't know whether it's AP or AT mines these helis drop.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4 IN 1 0 Posted December 27, 2003 well you could use mines, but what you need to do b4 laying mines is a hold bunch of paperworks and after they are placed, you need to mark the position of every single mine.........(you dont want to get friendly "fire" by a mine wouldnt you??)

Tigershark_BAS 0 Posted December 27, 2003 Before we get into some debate about the humanitarian issues of mines in warfare. NO...there are no plans to incorporate mines into our BHs. Although it would make a cool addition to CTI type conflicts and MP games. But at this stage....no immediate plans. Perhaps you may want to talk to Extraction for a helo that does this. He seems to have more time to model requests and such and may be able to accomodate you all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for DM......step into my office........you're fired!! j/k Man....like the Pavie.....there are so many variants and upgrade programs for the Blackhawk family that even the crew chiefs have trouble keeping up with them.......how are us mere mortals meant to do so. Regardless....lets try and keep this focused on the Pavehawk shall we....when our Seahawk progresses we can we have this discussion in another thread.

Very well, and I stand corrected. Upon further investigation, I found that I was wrong in most of the aspects, which is what I get for posting without checking first. They are in fact MH-60S Knighthawks, attached to Helicopter Combat Support Squadrons (HC). Now, a little bit of return fire. I'll state it just like I used to tell my Capt when we would have our "come to Jesus" meetings, "Dont just tell me that I did something wrong then walk out the room, I want to know what I did wrong, how I did it wrong, and you're gonna sit there and watch me make it right!

Cpt. FrostBite 0 Posted December 28, 2003 never heard them speak of it. Anyway, both the blackhawks and the pavehawks can be used as a dustoff chopper. In RL they will be used as such since these are the first choppers on the scene. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
