Yes ;).

That's a realistic flight speed.

Don't worry though, they won't be invincible ;).

[iTrek]

any word on counter measures against it?

[Garabaldi]

any word on counter measures against it?

AA guns, SA7's, .50's, RPG's to mention a few.

Also, it is to be noted that reality isn't always fair ;).

In v0.4 the Inurgents have massive advantages, which isn't very realistic.

Should even out the playing field on Basrah.

Here's what eggman had to say.

We tried some different stuff but ran into a few problems. I did get top attack laser guided hellfires working .. sorta

Shelved it due to time constraints and will take a look at it again in a future release.

And yeah there's lots that can take out attack helos, but ideally we'll have guys trying to keep them alive for an entire round.

If the vehicular weapon systems prove to be overpowering one of the things we cana nd will do .. rather than nerf them arbitrarily .. is make the supply (respawn) of them more constrained. So losing one (or killing one) will have a fairly significant impact.

hide. and wait for him to run out of ammo.

[[MyIS]Dan]

Wow..

That looks great, good work guys!

[Ph1L]

It looks like some videos of an IRL AH-1Z movie from Iraq. Now every1 wants to fly a chopper :p

[TheEn|gma]

For lack of a 1337er phrase.....OMG

[Sike]

[Garabaldi]

It's from a v0.5 test version.

[imported_Buzzsaw]

Dang. That thing is RAPID.

[TheEn|gma]

I just hope that PR-Devs don't give into the whining "oh the Cobra is too good" etc. Being a realism mod that should be expected.

Don't nerf!

While we do need to make sure the mod is balanced and fun to play, much of the R&D around that has been done by multi billion dollar military budgets over the last 40 years.

My view is that, within the scope of BF2, modeliing things as realistically as possible will tend to balance things out somewhat organically. But it might suck to play hehe :p

Clearly a requirement for weapon systems of this power is large maps, which we're also working on.

And we'll have to pay attention to game dynamics after this release, and see where things are at.

we had to do alot of rework on basrah to cut down on lag, and at the same time improve its look by alot, before its lightmaps and lighting was pretty crappy but now its real nice and lag free ;)

[bigyearn]

Hey that Zulu look real good guys!!
I work on them for the Marines and can say you guys put a warm spot back in to the game that was missing.
I think i read about the laser designation system getting canned till later??
to bad because that would be the shizz!
hopefully you guys added a command for sqaud leaders to call in airstrikes to all flying aircraft and they can see it on there gps unit. that would kick some serious but guys.
I have been playing pr .4 for the past week and all i can say is when I pick a sqaud with good communication I find my self playing 6-9 hours a night! keep
it up guys.

P.S For the mod team I have some videos of the regular AH-1W and if you guys would like them well just say so and I will ship them over to you.
I have been to Iraq twice and damn after playing pr I miss it.
Semper FI

moder ****in wow

Spent a few hours tonight on Al Basrah harrassing these choppers. Work in pairs, with an insurgent using a handheld AA missile system and someone to supply him with ammo, spread out in lonely places in the dunes and the Choppers will panic each time they get "painted" or hear that lock (panics them when you lock-on with an empty weapon too, lol!)

They may be great choppers in the right hands, but when you come up against small teams of insurgents whose main aim that round is to harrass the choppers and send them billowing smok back to their home base, I know who has the most fun :)

[reichertc2007]

almost like thesse poor guys.......lol

[camper.]

Reminds me of the videos above. If I never played BF2, I wouldn't have known until it showed the TV missile.

hehe, we wanted to change the TV missile abit so that it wouldn't have the unrealistic "nose cam" for the missles, but we ran into afew probs and out of time. We will look into it again for anouther version thou :D

"Rather than having a single spawn point and randomly selecting the location to spawn on, players now have the option for multiple spawn points within a flag area. This will place you in the spot you selected."

Why didn't they have this in vanilla?

[iTrek]

im really lookign forward to flying that bad boy,of course the first day everyone will wanna fly the new toys,but a lot of the pr guys dont like to fly which is good for us flyboys,just gotta watcjh those damn aa teams lol.

[proto]

Ok, so you're making my favorite vehicle, and the game's best vehicle, even better than it already is...

God I knew I downloaded PR for a reason.

Kudos to the realistic flight. Looks amazing.
