Right due to the fact that I have been stuck on Crete for the past 5 weeks I need all the relevant world news for that time, also newbie spam is welcome as long as its funny

Many apologies I just had to get that last post before cut off but as I wa..................................................................

Ta very much, whats new in vehicles

What you really need is a Dc-10 with 3 side miniguns for infantry support, there is a picture some where on 1 of the vietnam pic sites..........crud.....can't find it any way 1 of them

All mainstream mods should be getting help from BI as they were the first to get the SDK kits as far as I can remember, so its just a matter of time, but hopefully a few will be out by the end of the year, if not Battlefield 1944 looks pretty good as well

There she blows, what a chopper. Although it looks like a Bulldog licking piss off a thorn, it is an answer to the chinook, as well as the Hook, but this thing has a 90 + troop capacity, and 1 version was rumoured to be able to carry an amphibious version of the T-55, although it sounds far fetched.

Nice, Got any pix of the Mi-11 The Double rotor transport helocopter.

On a quiet winters night all was still, nothing moved except the Devil to deafen all with his booming laugh....................... and then all was still...........

As said before a few more varients to the Mi-17 and Hind would suffice in balancing the sides chopper wise : Other than that the abolishment of the East M2 MG for a proper static 20mm cannon on the hand portable revolving base 360 degrees, or at least a proper Russian MG, as it just looks crap. Also a couple more Light Tanks/APC/Armoured Cars for both East and West The Resistance should not be given too much as then they would be another competant armed force, which considering they have just stopped farming and picked up a few AK's. They should not be able to compete with East / West, they should be able to annoy the crap out of them. If they can be arsed maybe 1 Russian Attack Chopper, but I'm not holding my breath.

However by 1985 it was old tech so the Resistance idea is a good point as they are a bit limited in hardware (As it should be), I think they sould have something else apart from the cessna in the air.

If BI are going to add any more choppers at least add something which is usefull : Bell Model 47 (The Medic Chopper Off MASH - 2 stretchers) Boeing (Mc Douglas) MD-500 Defender (The Small Choppers Off Apocalypse Now) - Weaps inc TOW/Stinger/Gun Pods/Rocket Pods Kamov Ka-50 Hokum - 1982 First Flight Mi-11 a huge side-by-side 2 rotor transport chopper, at least 90 troops and cargo. Mil Mi-28 Havoc - 1982 First Flight/successor to the Hind Kamov Ka-25 Hormone - island hopping chopper /2 pilots/12 passengers (1961 onwards), weaps inc torpedoes/depth charges/door MG If anything at least 1 Russian chopper to balance the numbers a little, or a couple a varients each for the Mi-17 and Hind Mi-17 Diff weaps inc Swatter/Spiral/Gun pods/12.7mm MG instead of the Thimble Radar on the nose. Hind - Mi-24P has 2 door mounted 23mm cannons/Mi-35 has a twin 23mm gun turret on the nose. Also artillery recce and internal security versions have been built (Edited by Bilko at 6:31 pm on Dec. 6, 2001)

Don,t forget the Frog version the Hotchkiss Jeep, which turned out to be more reliable to run than the Willys if I remember right.
