Your .8 Wish List

[M.Warren]

In reply to both Alex and Mora's comments; yes I am firmly aware that the current Project Reality method of using helicopters is to remain at a moderate altitude within cloud level and above it's targets. These details are currently the most efficient and effective method of approach. This includes the points Alex had went to identify with the dangers of tanks and the requirements to remain as still as possible and remain hovering to offer the gunner a chance to engage targets.

An M1A1(A2) Abrams has a reported maximum range of 3,000 meters or 6 Kilometers. As previously stated a AH-64 Apache has a maximum range of 6,000 meters or 6 Kilometers. Making a Helicopter double the maximum range of a Tank.

Just simply stating that the use of Attack Helicopter's are "just one of those things" about PR that are hard to get to work right. But like I said, it's a cross between realism, gameplay balance and engine limitations. These factors are what limit an Attack Helicopter's true and full potential as it's combat effectiveness is meerly a fraction of what it really should be.

This is as close as we may ever get to having Helicopters function as they should. Simply the nature of the beast and it cannot be avoided in this particular game. Nothing you can do about it other than refine and perfect the other details you can have an influence over. That's about it.

Matter of fact this is partly the reason why I don't bother using them that often as they're more of a headache in my opinion. I'll keep my LGB equipped F-16 and enjoy casual sorties while the Forward Observer laser designates targets for precise surgical removal.

The game itself is pretty good.Minor tweaks are surely needed.#1The use of more humvees on all maps.Ive never seen the British rover on any war footage.#2Add the Little bird to Al Basrah.#3Night maps,turning current maps into night maps or a moon lit night so night vision isnt a factor.#4Mortar systems,maybe like fire base.#5Chey 408 sniper Rifle for US.#6Red Dot sights on any short range weapons(eng,medic,all spec ops,heavy AT).


Thats it for now but be sure i will add my other 4 wants in a bit.

[Fat Man Jim]

new special forces units, like a map where SAS or delta force face off against MEC SF or just insurgents

could make for some really cool classes and weapons

[oxYris]

little birds on albasra would be sweet.

* Real, well working stabilizers for the armor. It's like WWII all over again atm!
* M4 ACOG/M16 ACOG + grenade attachement for US Army and USMC. G3 Optics + grenade attachement for MEC.
* New skins for MEC- vehicles and others that need it.
* Removed H-AT + AA- kit on combined arms map.
* Hind for Milita.
* Urban map with Milita.
* A USMC v.s Militia map.
* ACOG/Optics for the machine guns.

I stand corrected on never seeing any British Rovers in war footage.You still cant get me to get in one of those death traps.A sniper can have a hay-day getting some easy kills in real life or in the PR MOD.I still would like them to be removed and replaced with Humvees.





On another note the little birds would be really effective in Al Basra.

US Army
optics for machineguns
optics for grenade launchers
night maps
more insurgency maps

Why?! The British Army don't use Humvees. Nor do the RAF use the OH-6/AH-6. You won't find either of them in use in-game for this precise reason.
