With a huge effort last week from SelectThis we have managed to get this puppy ready. Release date is most likely tomorrow (I'm going through last minute testing tonight).
A word on the release. ST, myself and ofpeditor have tested this extensively. We think we have caught everything. But there will be a few bugs and other things we may improve upon and refine which means there will be a version 2 release.
In particular we have created one helo that might be technically known as a MELB. But it lacks a 6 bladed rotor and 4 bladed tail rotor. However we will continue to refine these over time.
Another discussion point may be the mounted Mp5 we incorporated. We discussed this and during playtesting we found the MH6 a little vulnerable. So we added a Mp5 mounted variant to simulate the copilot being able to fire out the window.
This is not strictly realistic or standard procedure (my highly credible sources tell me this was a unique situation that occured during Somalia and not standard practice) but for gameplay purposes this may work?@due to the helo being so vulnerable. We are looking for peoples opinions on it after they playtest it for themselves.
However, this is a great foundation for us to build upon and we want to share our efforts with the community. This will be our first release ever....so we really wanted to get it right. I think the wait will be worth it and this will be the Littlebird that sets the standard in the community. It's the little things that count.
