overall i am EXTREMELY pleased with it. The only drawback that I have found is while it is faster than the default 206b by only a couple of knots, this being a MILITARY heli, couldn't they squeeze about 30 extra knots out of it by replacing the engine and 'rotor transmission'????

~100 KIAS is good, but for the lazy bones in me, at least 130 would be nice of a small attack helo of this kind.  These should be able to sneak up on its target nice and slow, pop up, attack, then get the hell out of dodge, and for me 100 KIAS just isnt quite fast enough.   (then again, it probably could if it did not have the bullets/missles/rockets - launching platforms for all of it).

looks like i might have to delve into the aircraft.cfg to tweak it up a little.



on a side note, i did add the "as352-Hover.gau" to it so that it can now "AUTO HOVER"   now to go hide behind some trees.

I was in the Army as a structure mechanic. Majority of the time the '58s as we called them only went out with a 2 man crew.
Anymore then that would weigh the aircraft down making it harder to take off lol. Flying lawnmower was another term and your right you would think they would put a more powerful engine in a military aircraft.
