Helicopters for PLA/MEC

Cpt.Kawakowitsch · 2008-08-25, 10:22

I was just wondering about the fact, that there is only one transport heli and one attack heli of for PLA/MEC, while US/UK have a bunch of choppers and they will even get more.

US/UK:

Merlin
Transport LB
Attack LB (Minigun)
Attack LB (Rockets)
Transport Huey
Attack Huey (Rockets)
Transport BH
Chinook
Cobra
Apache
kind of a chopper - V-22 Osprey
and someone is modelling the CH-53 I read a few days ago

PLA/MEC:

Havoc
WZ-10
Z-8
MEC transport chopper (don't know the name. It looks like a Mi-17(1))
China Chopper on Qwai (looks like kind of a SA 360, but it can't be because the SA 360 is a 2+8/10 seater and I couldn't find a version IRL with machineguns - and ingame this chopper flys kind of crap)
MEC Chopper on Kashan (don't know what this is, maybe a BO-xxx something)

As i stated in another thread PLA/MEC is a bit behind on the equipment side even if these factions are getting a few new rifles. IMO they need some fast transport choppers. For PLA I would suggest the SA 360:

DAUPHIN 2 (AEROSPATIALE)

This chopper can be used as transport or kind of attack chopper like the huey.

For MEC I can't really imagine a transport chopper, as this faction consists out of a lot of countries. Maybe the Ka-60.

Ka-60 "Kasatka" / Ka-62

MEC should have a lot of money, so they could easily effort any transport helicopter.

Maybe this can be considered by the devs in a future release.

It's a very good point. They may not see those exact helicopters that you mentioned above, but giving them more assets is definitely on the list.

you should keep a better eye on the dev modelling forums falkun

Falkun · 2008-08-25, 10:39

Well, now that you mention it, they do have an uncanny resemblance :P

They're so cuuuuute

Bob_Marley · 2008-08-25, 11:37

That'll be the Chinese Dauphin rip off then, as theres no confirmed navalized version of the Ka-60.

Oh, and WTB lynx.

I think the MI 35 should be MEC transport/assaulat,like the LB. There is one already modeled from bf2 Special Forces

	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!
