Okay this question is for the people who create the USI mod. Recently in an update you showed a render of a Cobra helicopter, i think. Now, only the marines use the Cobra now and in your first release you only had the US army. Does this render mean you will be including the US marines in to USI now?:confused:(Like adding marine vehicles and ships as well as maps with large bodies of water?)

I think both the Army and Marines used Cobras. But I think the Marines arent going to make their debut just yet.

That is correct. The Army uses the AH-1F and the USMC uses the AH-1W Super Cobra.

Nope, during Desert Storm they were used alongside the Apache. But I think Marines use them more since they are all over Iraq.

Any Cobra's that are in Iraq now are USMC birds. The Army retired the Cobra in 99.
