i think its a no brainer that we NEED flyable helicopters in the game, now the question is, what helicopters will be in the game other then the Huey? i would love to see the Huey Gunship and the Loach, Cobra would be cool too but i would understand if that was only a call in.

Also would like to mention that alot of stuff shown in the trailer is very innacurate for 1965 so i think you guys should go for 1968+

sry for writing

yea a huey gunship with a minigun replacing the right side m60 and a pair of 7x rocket pods would be perfect, the full on australian bushwhacker huey gunship might be too OP in a HLL game.

I would love to see Cobra, but after an wiki search that took me about 1 minute, I doubt we get them. The trailer said specifically 1965 and if the Wiki doesnt lie to me the first cobras got to vietnam in 1967.

My hopes are still there we get them, it would be amazing to have those as a toy. Either Way I hope at least the transport helicopters are armed with mgs.

maybe there will be ligth heli, medium, heavy, transport and recon

#

or so

#

heavy could be cobra

#

others variation of huey or so

yea either that or they are not taking historical accuracy too seriously

#

cuz yea what the trailer shows looks more like 1968 onward

#

oh yea just noticed the m16 m203 mount so more like 70s lol

rancid carbon
#

which is fine tbh bc around 68 is where the war really excallated

#

Line backer 1 & 2

#

battle of hue city

#

and ofcourse the Tet Offensive

Helicopters and 1965 timeframe.

I suspect that the cobra is in because helis having pilot, crewman and gunner sounds odd. Unless they did it specifically so that the gunner couldn't hop into the pilots seat when he's shot, or something...

Huey, Bushranger, Loach and Cobra. Just like RS2, no less, please.

rancid carbon
#

the bushranger is so overrepresented, the gunship hueys were way more common

somber herald
#

Did those former three have a dedicated gunner?

and loach is a completely different helo

#

the bushranger and cobra have a potential to be way to OP

#

the cobra had rocket pods, a 20mm gatling, and a swivel turret with a minigun and a 40mm chain grenade launcher

#

that had like 200 grenades in it

#

imagine a match with a semi competent crew in that thing

#

also it could carry different types of rockets

#

he/frag, flechete and willy pete

#

the huey gunship would be powerfull but since the most common versions only carried 1 minigun as a door gun and like 14 rockets, thats not nearly as crazy as the bushranger or cobra

#

if they make it semi realistic the choppers will be fiering rockets from 1+km away and like 500-1k feet up

#

not nearly as easy at that point

#

a competent heli crew would be able to spawn camp ppl from their own spawn

#

so id prefer if the crazy attack helos like the cobra would be call ins

#

bushranger had doorguns, rocket pods and swiveling forward mounted mini guns

#

look at those rocket pods

#

so 2 swivel mini guns and 2x 19x rocket pods

#

its badass but it would be unbalanced as fuuck

#

they could maybe make it fair if the NVA got some radar guided triple A

#

like the shilka

#

or even SAM's

#

sa2 can shoot down airsupport

high dune

#

very hard shots to make

#

rather then that the NVA get the zsu23 shilka as a vehicle

#

but then that would pretty much be able to melt any helo over the map

#

so i think the best option is to have attack choppers but just not the most capable variants

#

as playable atleast

#

i mean personally id be happy with just a loach with a mini gun and a couple of rockets

#

but i do want to see the huey gunship

#

but yea loach is my baby
