Vehicle: OH-58 Kiowa Warrior (ASS?)

[Wags]

While playing Project Reality today, I noticed a formation of OH-58D's flying outside. So I figure Project Reality should have OH-58D's featured in it. The OH-58D Kiowa Warrior is a widely used two-seat armed scout helicopter. The Kiowa is considered a great asset to ground commanders due to its scouting abilities.

I figured that in PR a Kiowa could be modelled with special detail placed on the special mast mounted sight that gives it its great success as a scouting aircraft.

Has this been suggested already?

Yep, it will be in once USI gets the model done and in their game, at which point the models and sounds are converted to PR.

Resuggestion, but it'd be nice to give it a 50 cal controlled by the copilot and 14 rockets. Also, give FLIR to the copilot. Make it take 5.56 in stride, and that's good enough.

We are well aware of the existence of the Kiowa and many other modern weapons/vehicles/aircraft that are not in PR believe it or not.

and yes, it has been suggested many times before.

Oh, by the way, in before lock.

I'd love to see a Kiowa with some rockets, a 50 cal, and a mast mounted sight.

I don't think your completely oblivious. I've just never heard of a Kiowa even being wanted. I mean, all day I hear, "I want fastropes!" I've never heard anybody specifically want an OH-58D.

And to Hunt3r: Rockets and an armament would be cool. I know that Kiowas use .50 Cals, 70mm Rockets, and Hellfires. They also have the ability to carry Stinger air-to-air missiles.

You never heard of people saying "We need a Stormer AAV for the brits" before we made it, or "We need a new truck for the British" or anything like that, but we made them because they needed to be made. I could give many more examples of Chinese stuff we are currently making but I wont .

I dont think we have ever made a new vehicle based off a public suggestion tbh as our MAs know excatly what is out there and then we shift though all of that info to decide excatly what we need to make.

The Kiowa is pretty low priority since its a scout chopper that would simply replace the littlebird on a few maps, but that doesn't mean it wont ever be in PR however.

Actually, I have heard one guy complain about the British trucks on a Qinling server once. I bet he crapped his pants when he saw yall are making a new truck.

I would say a new truck and such would be more high-priority than the Kiowa. The Kiowa isn't needed, but it would be cool.
