M240 goes out the window on the port side, we cannot have a port GAU-17 if we're carrying AGM-114. GAU-17 would go starboard side. This is an actual load out and while the extended pylon does limit your forward field of fire, you should still be able to shoot at 9 oclock with no issues. ---------- Post added at 17:33 ---------- Previous post was at 17:28 ---------- No problem at all with the ALQ-144 for the current model. The "discoball" installed behind the main rotor head is accurate-like an HH-60G or MH-60S. The HH-60H had it installed about 15 years ago in 4 different points around the helo and that version has been completely replaced. Also the long wire UHF is gone off of the HH-60H. These are all minor details and I have no problem with the mod the way they currently are implanted, just wanted a bit more realism. Ignore my comments about the aux tank yours are perfect. ---------- Post added at 17:35 ---------- Previous post was at 17:33 ---------- Gatordev is on the money. If their is a 2nd or 3 gen MANPAD threat, the HH-60H units would still deploy with the discoball(ALQ-144). Because of maintenance and corrosion, they are not fixed and used unless there is a requirement.

YuraPetrov your mod is amazing. I have a personal request for the HH-60H. 1) Can you remove the pilot/copilot doors? HH-60Hs have special permission to do this and fly the majority of their missions with doors off. However, if AGM-114 is carried (though 4 can be carried, max of two on the upper rails is more realistic) the doors will be on for safety. 2) Can you remove the older IR Jammer and mount the ALQ-144 on top? 3) Can you make an all-out gunship version? This would be 2 AGM-114 with a port M-240 and a starboard GAU-17. 400 rounds for the M-240 and 2000 rounds for the GAU-17. The HH-60H always operates with a port aux tank as the fast rope is only possible out of the port side(only cabin door). The starboard aux tank is rarely used, only for range on a ferry flight or to carry a spare. Here's hoping you can get the FLIR display working. Thanks for making the best helo mod for this game. This helo is a must for any missions made with SOCOM forces being delivered/recovered from enemy lines.

Hmmm, playing online I've died after running into a building, going up to the 2nd floor and lying prone. After I'd been in the building for about 15-20 seconds, a grenade went off and I died. Must have been an officer-I heard they're supposed to be smarter than the AI G.I.

This 10 year USN sailor heartily agrees. I would love to see mixed infantry moving in with a Challenger side by side with Bradley support in game.

Good point. Scuba would be great. I'm sure any vehicle we want to see will eventually be modded in, and then a big vehicle mod pack will install them. I think it was deltaforce land warrior that had the underwater guns you could use, they would be a great addition. On that note, how about launching from a submarine? You could hen get to an objective and if you didnt have anymore heavy ordnance, lase a target for GPS coordinates and the sub would launch a SLAM or TLAM against the target. eh prolly a pipedream but hey we can dream right?

I love how all Brits attack us americans, calling us Yanks and how we are overly proud and blah, blah, but do exactly what they get on us about. Anyways, as previously stated. EACH country thinks its military should be in the game. The germans want theirs, the Swedish want theirs, the Australians, and so forth. Plus if you would have READ this entire thing, you would have seen that I was actually against adding the USMC and FOR adding the UK or brits. You must not have actually read all of this. And as to the A-10C. Yes we still upgrade and keep them around, but we have also reduced the amount we have by over 70% of what we had in the 80s during Desert Storm. And the additions we gave to them are very insignificant, Gave them the wind correction and Jdams and a few other upgrades. Upgrades that all F-16s these days already had. And they are still reducing the amount of the A-10s they have. They aren't upgrading every A-10 in the world. I live in Gowen Field in Boise Idaho, where they have A-10s stationed, but even they are going to Phase alot of their own A-10s out for other aircraft. The A-10 is not the primary support Aircraft now. And I am a huge fan of the A-10, its what I wanted to fly most when i was younger, but at the same time its not the primary role. Over in Iraq I can tell you now, I saw hell of a lot more F-16s providing support than I saw A-10s. Also the F-16 isn't an air superiority Aircraft anymore really. The F-16 has been designated a ground support aircraft, and its primary function during early war operation is wild weasel missions. And the F-16 has better precision with "Dumb Bombs" and is computer calculated automatic release. Well, the A-10C may be up to par with it, but as we have seen the F-16 is already damn good in precision like we saw when they used a dumb bomb to take out a single building that killed al-Zarqawi. The one thing I see as the A-10 current having the advantage over is its ability to take more hits, operate at lower speeds, and its big ass GAU-8 Avenger. It wasn't a dumb bomb on zarqawi, it was two GBU-38s-the 500lb MK-82 JDAM. It has very small fins on the nose. Don't know if its OK to link to other stories here, just do a google search for AL zarqawi F-16. I understand your F-16 case and think it should be in game, althought the radar modes won't work, and as a Falcon4 AF junkie, I wouldn't be happy with it. I think an AMX would be a great addition though.

F-16s have been "replacing" A-10s for over 15 years now. Â Yet the US just dumped a ton of money into buying new wing sets and the A-10C upgrade. Â In reality, the A-10 will be around for a long while still-at least 2025. Â I think an F-16 would a nice addition, as would a SU-25/39. Â However, big fast aircraft that air used for air superiority have no place in the game as their battle is fought out of sight of the scope of armed assault. Â A more feature-rich Harrier( GR9 anyone?), F-16, Su-25/39, or jaguar would be great-for the most part their weapons would be viable in game (AGM-65, dumb bombs, small smart bombs, and CBUs) Also an OH-58D would be nice. As far as the F-14-yeah it is sad its gone and shouldnt be ingame-however, one good point is that it was one of the first aircraft equppied with ROVER (albeit for its final cruise) which allowed the aircraft to send the LANTIRN image to a troops Laptop on the ground. This way the troops could talk the aircraft on to the exact position of the target (ie two windows to the left, down three floors, or three cars up in a line of traffic) The two man crew in a big fast jet that shouldnt operate below 15k feet doesnt make its incorporation realistic. If the game had realistic SA-2, SA-6, and SA-11. I would so go for it. Right now it would just be cool overkill for our side.

OT response. Â I must say that occupying taken ground poses its own set of challenges that are often taken for granted. Â This is why the army missed their recruiting goal-only 93% instead of the Marines 110%. Â However hasn't history shown that both services, despite their differences and specific strengths, have been used for each others role as many times as not? For instance, in Vietnam, weren't some marines dropped deep in country and some army units swept in from the coast? and yes-the CH/MH-47 and CH/MH-53 with a usable heavy assault role are at the top of my list.

Unbeknownst to most people, this game had a website-armedassault.com- in 2000 or 2001 IIRC, at that point it looked like a pure USMC assault type game, included was an MH-53J/CH-53E cross on the deck of an LHA. I would just like an MH-53J or M , fitted with GAU-17 and the proper .50 cal -with the option to load a vehicle in the cabin (assault vehicle or RHIB craft) or load up 37+(55 max load with middle tropp seats installed) and carry a vehicle underneath on the cargo point, such as a TOW Hummer or Stryker. The Heavy lift would be an awesome way to recover damaged/broken down vehicles and bring them back to base in Evolution.- Perhaps even deviver an AI based repair/rearm team to an area to fix the vehicles on site. It would be much quicker than driving the duece and a halfs , hoping you don't get blown to bits on the way.(BTW the repair/rearm/and refuel vehicles are an awesome part of this game) Devs-please give this idea some serious thought.

The Huey is still in use with the USMC, so that would be a good addon. I think it should be a .50 on one side, and a minigun on the other. And rocket pods ofcourse I would like to see some HMMWVs with gunnershields and stuff! and cougars! ( http://www.mod.uk/NR....6x6.jpg ) The Army National Guard still use the single engine version here in California. Perhaps you could make one for the Sahrini's(sp?) military? Would make perfect sense to include a UH-1Y since the AH-1Z is already in.

I would love to see a loadout mod for at least the harrier that gives you some loadout variety. Â Say, two AIM-9s, two AGM-65, an litening pod, and a Single GBU-12. Or a 2 rocket pods, 2 AGM-65 loadout. Is this possible-or are vehicle weapons kind a code-limited hassle? Â I'm wondering why the game shipped with the weird loadouts for the harrier(6 AIM-9s). edit-great first post-Moderator can you move this to the mods discusion thread plz?
