How many people will it hold? Coz the chinhook is a big *** chopper but still holds small amounts of ppl? im not a game expert but is this because you canrt put more men in the sky? just asking chopper looks great tho!

Any vehicle can only transport 8 people. ;)
You can't add more, it's hardcoded.

Those sir, are definately rocket pods. Question is, are they going to have the real life equivalent in rockets? 128 of those monsters is a lot.

Good. I want to see Russia vs USMC maps now. Attack Huey vs Attack Mi8. Relive the days of Vietnam.

Well, the Mi-8 carries 57mm rockets, not 70mm ones like the Huey.

That said, 128 is a whole lot more than 14. Perhaps the Huey needs some 19-round pods? Dunno how often those are used.

Beautiful helicopters.

Be the Sh%t if we could have a chopper that can carry 192 of those rockets and then unleash them all at once.

, we need one of these for kashan!!!!! just for the lol :firing:


You would not even need to get closes you could sit a KM out from the target, and then let the spread handle the rest, doing that you could blanket 500m radius, and with 192 rockets your bound to hit some thing.


And on kashan 64, be nice to have some thing that could emulate the fire power of the A-10's, even if it a bit slow and vulnerable.

lol, I can definitley see this being nurfed. Damn russians get everything good.

First of all, all of their vehicles are amphibious, there tanks are submarines. (YouTube - Tanks T - 90 and T - 80 across water obstacle.)

Whats next, Russian flying boat?
YouTube - Beriev A-40 Albatros/Be-42 NATO Code: Mermaid

:O

Diabolos.

zomgwtfBBQ T-90/T-80's can go underwater??? >.>

The A-40 would need half the map to take off let alone land


The Mi-8 could provide long range fire support. Just take off, hover above the base, and fire towards the target. You're bound to hit SOMETHING. Maybe just not accuretly... :P
