I've never had Cobra or Apache in my NATO decks, I'm fonder of small helos like the Gazelle, Kiowa or Bo-105.

The US Hog/Heavy Hog/Gunship serie should not be regarded as "helos" like the others: for me, they are flying MLRS. Hogs and alikes are perfect to fire at the unseen. When I know a wood is cramed with troops, I send a couple of Hvy Hog and order a "Fire at position". Then I send the fast infantry transport (Légion in VAB, Jäger in Fuchs or British Paratroopers in Spartan) to seize the position from the stunned defender.

IRL, the "gunship" Huey were refered as A.R.A., which stands for "Aerial Rocket Artillery". So don't see them as chopper, but as direct fire MLRS. ;)


but the 1st cobra got more missile pods and cost the same....

and gunship only got 14 rockets..

gunship got same stats (slower but more range) minus the 2nd missile pod and yet it cost same as cobra..

You forget the grenade launcher, which can constantly dish out damage and stuns. Better weapon on the Heavy Hog and one in which I would not get the upgraded gatling gun over the launcher.

That would be the point of the whole thread, that version is strictly worse than everything.

Never heard of it, what does the acronym stand for?

Yeah, that can't be right... The best 'upgrade' variant of the Hog is by far the most useless. I agree with MadMat about the Hog/Heavy Hog being used as aerial artillery, I really enjoy using them, but the final UH-1M Gunship can't be right with the crappy small rockets; just seems useless.

It won't definitely become a transport helo much like the Hind considering the amount of ammunition is carried on that thing.

So I like to hear from Madmat too, I love the variety of units but as far as I can tell, there are some I think might need abit of update and balancing. If it was say 5 points cheaper, I think the Gunship has abit of role in it. But it'll be again redundant to the Cobra?

5 point cheaper and you get better one with more rockets with higher ROF and grenade launcher..
