Hm WZ-9 looks like its hard to get in. Will there be seating for more than 2?

Will this model actually be put in at any point? The PLA already have their LB equivelant, but this would, imo, be a rather good bird for them as they could also have a pure little "gunship" (I would imagine that those missiles are AA or AT weapons) as well as a pure little transport like the LB with side boards in addition to the gunship/transport hybrid they use at the moment, with the different birds being in depending on the situation.

Um................ The WZ-9/Z-9 is a troop transport/assault chopper. It's not a little bird. Take a look here if you don't beleve me:

Please research before you ask about things you don't know next time...............

My point is that it would be a good base for a PLA equivelant to the LB, as far as armament goes. It may not be didiest of birds, but its no full gunship either. The closest it would probubly be to any US bird that might be in the Mod is the Huey or lynx. But they're not in yet and the closest in game examples are the LB "gunships" with miniguns or miniguns/rockets. And it would also be more flexible than the LB gunships, as as far as I can tell the cabin can still be used while the helo is armed.

And in comparison with the cow, everything is a little bird

	The key to modernising any weapon is covering them in glue and tossing them in a barrel of M1913 rails until they look "Modern" enough. Many thanks to [R-DEV]Adriaan for the sig!
