I think only one of the landing pads repairs / re-arms, not entirely sure. I just know that it can be done.

Alright, thank you. I tried hovering above all of them, but I guess that I missed it or something. Sorry if I sounded offensive, but I took some offense at your comment.

to rearm and repair the AH on qwai hover near the support humvee spawning at the base, any built up CO asset that does the same or supply drops.
it does not only harras APCs and tanks, hellfire missiles kill them.
1 sec full mg burst kills the PLA variant ( theoreticlly the MEC aswell).
its flying abilities are sick.
dont use it for transportation.
my general assault, furthemore timed and situational territorial engagement procedures I wont reveal though.

Well, if you've got the little bird as part of your squad, you can take one rifleman and one heavy AT up with the pilot of fly off to mine; 1 AT round takes out an APC.

Well its just odd that the one actual MARINE chopper is the only one not on the map, while both army choppers are.

Expendable Grunt · 07-23-2007, 05:50 PM

What does the USMC use for choppers anyways?

Spaz · 07-27-2007, 09:53 AM

I think they use them to land small groups in places where bigger choppers can't land.

Ontop of buildnings etc

Thats what i think don't know if its correct ^^

Well, The USMC chopper is obviousl called the LB.
The MEC one is called the Gazell
Im not sure what the PLA one is called, but i call it the Wasp(cuz it looks like one).

Only the USMC attack littlebird has Rocket pods, but only the scout model(minguns only) is used in PR, atm.

On Qwai, i cant think why the USMC would deploy 3(2?) transport choppers(lets not get into USMC doesnt use LB IRL), aswell as an APC and a few Hummers. For a battleground that is as small as quwai.

Also, it seems like a bit of a waste of resources for the PLA to deploy 2 scout choppers, to scout for a very small armoured unit(2x MBT, 2xAPC).

It would seem to make more sense for the USMC to deploy 1x transport LB, 1xAttack LB(w/rocket pods) to support its troops(as the USMC only gets TWO Hummers to combat the PLA armour)

And sensible for the chinese to deploy 1x scout chopper(just guns), to support its armoured unit.

...mongol...

That would make sense which is maybe why thats what they get

(thats how its set on the TG server anyhow)

The map is delibrately unbalanced afaik or balanced in different ways. The usa attack heli can destroy an apc easily and severely damage a tank. It takes about 22 hydras to destroy a tank, it has about 13

The usa team is more air mobile (3 helis vs 1), the chinese more ground dominant (tanks). Obviously that doesnt mean the chinese side wont go and run over their own mines and the usa team flip all their helis while taking off but in theory thats why this map is like this.
A cobra would totally stomp all over such a great idea of air vs ground advantage.

Possibly this is my fav map now with the 0.6 changes

THB, I rarely win against the PLA on most maps, including this one. A chinese team that has less teamwork and coordination can still beat a USMC that all have voip, a good commander and intelligent responsive squad leaders. Call it realism or call it balance, but both should end up causing the US to get better equipment. Just a little frustrated I guess.

Well at least they have an attack Little Bird to at least take out APCs.
