BF2S Forums ---Little Bird Helicopters---

Sounds great but they won't add it.

go onto total bf2 and look for the new armoured fury vehicles, i think there is something to your description

I 100% agree. The AH-6 needs to be in BF2 but I don't see it happening. If anything the AH-6 needs to be added to Special Forces.
/me thinks of Black Hawk Down scenes

I can see it now.. little birds will be the new jihad jeeps, but with wings!

The loach was basically the same airframe (the MD500) as the AH6.  Also I believe AH6s have 7.62 miniguns not 30mm...

...but wasn't seen on the majority of flying maps. A pity, really. It was fun.

I have been thinking of ways to improve this game for quite some time now and I have come up with some minor things including adding the "Little Bird" helicopter. If introduced, the "Little Bird" should be used for troop transport mainly, but for some maps, excluding Karkand,  I believe they would work great as a small attack helicopter with mounted 30mm cannons or 2.75" rockets. There are so many different variables when it comes to using the "Little Bird" which makes me believe the introduction of one in BF2 would be a great idea. This would be a quick and easy way to transport a pilot, co-pilot, and 2 guys sitting on each outter bench. When armed, only a pilot and perhaps a co-pilot will be able to enter the vehicle as the outside benches will be removed. Just a thought.... lets hear some of your thoughts.

first of all it would be ok on infantry only maps to have the transport version. the transport version holds six people though not four. pilot, co-pilot, two people on each bench. scrap the rockets on armed version for four fixed 7.62 X 51mm mini-guns. in battlefield desert combat the rockets sucked and were only useful for lightly armored vehicles. the mini-guns however could also kill those vehicles plus mowed troops. they could double the ammo in the guns if the rockets were left out. i think the little bird/ah-6 would add a much needed close combat anti infantry air role to the game. the health should be lowered though to only take one missile hit or be downed with much less machine gun fire, since ah-6's are not combat enhanced like the cobra or apache. these could also make mobile sniper platforms if the pilots didn't suck. if they made them easily shot down people in tanks or apc's could prevent helo whoring. the pilot would have to watch out for enemies much more with the lack of anti-tank capability.

Make it so it gets killed with one AA/AT shot?
