Not scary at all.

Have you ever been directly underneath a helicopters wash several hundred feet in the air? My buddy fly's a shitter for the Marine corp and I have been near it as it was taking off and I can tell you rotor wash from one of those is mind boggling. I'm sure they knew they had a job to do and were 100% confident they could get it done. But at some point me personally I would say "This is crazy we are sitting on top of rockets". I was saying it would be scary sitting on the pylon directly underneath the rotor there is not much room in between the two.

Especially if you're 6' or more.

Ed Macys Apache and Damien Lewis' Apache Dawn are both good books, just picked up Hellfire by Macy and I want Dressed to Kill by Charlotte Madison (who is mentioned in Apache).
Yes I have an Apache 'thing', I blame you Microprose Gunship

Lol. I see your point.

But neither you, nor your buddy, have seen real combat, been captured, (like the men involved in this rescue mission) and experienced the feeling of being rescued.

Like I said. It would be the best time of my life.


Sorry to get this topic so off track.

Back to the game. So the co-op is local only? How great would co-op online 4 player with 2 Apaches. I really cannot wait for this game. Anton and the crew did us proud with BOP so theres every chance this will replace Gunship as the best Heli game ever. I agree with other comments though we need some other gunships in there. Heres what I want:
Havok
Hind
Little Bird
Lynx
Cobra

Throw in a Black Hawk for CTA missions. I really think CTA should have Black Hawks deploying troops to capture, even if its just a visual cue.

[Robotic Pope]

I'd like all of these please, and the Lynx, WAH-64, and Merlin for CTA like wookie said.

KA-52 or bust


Excited to see another flight game in and a sim too. Hopefully there is no delay and we see a demo soon.

Only bad thing I can think of so far is, it is supposed to come out this fall and we just found out about this game. Maybe they realize that it is such a niche market that advertising is not worth spending the money on. We knew about BOP well before release.

I was thinking that this is a budget type game, big releases usually have a 5 month promotion leading to release, this has only 8-9 weeks, add to that the fact that Activision have already released a game with the same name previously and I come to the conclusion that this is a stop-gap release using some of the technology of the innevitable sequal TM maybe to test the waters with activision? I'm just guessing btw.

I was thinking the same thing. Hopefully Activision has let Gaijin do what they want with this game and it will be a smash hit. And then hopefully Acitivsion will see their talent and fund a sequal to BOP, make right where 505 went wrong.
