manzilla 1 Posted September 8, 2009 is it possible to lift humvee or light APC with this big flying thing? :bounce3: Also if Mandoble gets his Mando Hitch script from A1 to A2 we could add the lift option via script. That was a great addition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cionara 10 Posted September 8, 2009 I thought working Mando hitch script is already in use in Coop Evolution Marine Mission in ArmA 2 :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soldier2390 0 Posted September 8, 2009 the think emery uses..is the "attach to command" script! how ever this one and the one for a1 wil have scripts to do this too...all thanks to...my bud emery! and they can carry hummve's and small apc's! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mankyle 410 Posted September 8, 2009 http://blog.800hightech.com/wp-content/uploads/v22-humvee-cargo.jpg You can see here that an Osprey can hitch a HMMMWV. Therefore a MH53, who has more lifting power, can do the same. And I swear I've seen a picture of an MH-53 carrying a LAV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XquZ2 10 Posted September 8, 2009 ive also seen an ch-53 transport an lav (something similar at least)... i think that was in an dokumentation... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wilco 944 Posted September 9, 2009 The MH-53E is a heavy-lift helo and in real life, there's no way it can lift a tank (Abrams, Challenger, Leopard). Since the US Navy are the primary users of this bird, it should reflect that (USN). If you're talking about the MH, yes, they are. On the other hand, we (Marine Corps) have many more CH-53E's in service. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GD Mast 0 Posted September 11, 2009 is it possible to lift humvee or light APC with this big flying thing? It can easily lift a humvee but a light APC, I don't know. According to a website, the MH-53E "Sea Dragon" can lift up to 16 tons. An Abrams weighs almost 70 tons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoOB 0 Posted September 11, 2009 And the LAV-25 weighs about 10-12 tonnes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And an Abrams isn't a light APC. They can lift blackhawk helicopters which way around 22,000 lbs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1in1class 0 Posted September 11, 2009 (edited) Main rotor blade looks off, in ArmA 2 helo main rotor blades kind of left up as you start it up. In this addon here the main blade is just staying flat and in the middle of the rotor it wobles like crazy. Could we see in the next update new main rotor blades? In this pic you will see the main rotor arch up as all the other choppers in ArmA 2 do. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/ec/CH-53_Super_Stallion.jpg Also they have an top cover on the main rotor.

GD Mast 0 Posted September 11, 2009 And an Abrams isn't a light APC. That's right, it's a main battle tank which weighs 69.54 tons (M1A2). An if you read my post (3rd sentence) you would see all I said was, "An Abrams weighs almost 70 tons.":) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good on you "remembering" how much the exact weight of an Abrams is. What exactly is your problem? He already said in his first post that the Abrams is too heavy and now you flame him for what reason? I suggest you take your personal issues to PM where you don't bother the rest of the community with it. And here we continue on-topic which is about that wonderful MH-53 addon.

An if you read my post (3rd sentence) you would see all I said was, "An Abrams weighs almost 70 tons.":) The way you worded your post, it came off like you were suggesting that an Abrams was a light APC. Even I had to do a double take. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know he searched for it, that's what makes it funny. I've got nothing against GD Mast, he has posted information in the thread that is useful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
