Title: USMC units
Post by: SEAL84 on 18 Jan 2004, 23:18:28

We really need some USMC units!

Some units we need made:

UH-1-4BN - the last upgrade to the Huey added a four-bladed rotor and some electronic upgrades.  The new upgrade package added countermeasures and a glass cockpit.  There should be a slick version and a gunship with rockets and miniguns.

AH-1-4BW - this Cobra upgrade package adds the same engine and four-bladed rotor to the Cobra as was added to the Huey.  The instrumentation is upgraded and countermeasures have been added.  Instead of TOWs, this bird would carry improved Hellfires.

Wasp:  This ship is mostly flight deck but would be able to offload AAV7s and LCACs.  It should probably be a static unit so the deck and dock could be used, like the USS Ashland was done.

LCAC:  It might be worth playing around with the APC class to see if you could make a real hovercraft, though I'm not sure if you could raise the water speed - we all know how slow the BMP is in the drink.  It would probably only be able to carry infantry, but that's okay with me.

AAV7:  I know of only one and I think it was Frandsen.  He did a good job but it never worked right with the Ashland - I couldn't get it up the ramp inside the ship.  Might be worth making a new one.

It would rule if all these units were made by the same person or people to keep a standard feel to them - it would make a sweet pack.

If not, getting them one by one would still rule :)

Whaddya think?

Yeah, the AH-1W is in the works and there's a UH-1N out there somewhere, but the ones I mentioned are upgrades.  I think the official designation on the new Cobra is the AH-1Z, dunno about the Huey.  

The assault ship that's out there isn't exactly what I'm looking for - the Wasp class ships can carry far more units than the Ashland addon.
