    theres so many of the things that everyone probably has a different one, so lets here em.

    mines the Blackhawk, i know some people might tink its boring, carrying troops around all day but i loves it!
    its so manouverable and really fast and with its rockets its just as effective as any of the attack choppers, (albeit, for a shorter time though)

    I like the AH-1 Cobra myself, fragile but fast and with a lot of firepower- also has a much better cockpit field of view than the apache does - bloody cockpit blocks half the view. Great fun trying to fly the Cobra at 5-10 meters off the ground at 200+ an hour:)

    cool i thought i was the only one who could do that.
    but how the **** do you fly the chopper from the cockpit view?
    i only find it good for shooting rockets.

    Has to be the T80.. badass Red symbols and russian all over it. And you can shoot down choppers with the main gun (if they are really slow and you have a lot o patience)...

    The Hind can carry men AND function as an attack chopper, wouldnt you perfer to be in that BiTchiN?

    It looks quite evil too.. :p

    T80 - yum yum :D

    I've had loads of fun on special-op missions stealing a T80 and going on a rampage :)

    Jeep of course! There ain't nothing like driving away from 5 enemy tanks, dirt flying over you from the shell explosions :D

    the m113. best moment was the escort mission. when you reach the town with the t72 waiting to ambush you i had a ball of a time. i got the 2 law soldiers in my squad to get out and hide at the junction in the town the proceded to absolutly belt it down the hill into the town and then straight up to the t72s starting position taking out the infantry with the .50cal on top of the m113. then went flying back down the hill into the town with t72 in chase. then my 2 law lauchers went to work. one toasted t72

    Any of the attack choppers really, its just so much fun taking out tanks on the ground with your rockets :D

    Its not that bad, its a bit weird cos its easier flying it with an external view as you can see how close you are to trees, buildings etc etc - I just like doing it in that fashion cos its a little more realistic - and Im a glutton for punishment :) I also find it easier to track and "tag" targets for my gunner in that view. Only problem is trying to land the chopper on a H , very hard to do it just right w/o going external cos you cant actually see the H. More feasible with the OH-58 which is my second favourite vehicle- just aint found a use for its laser designator yet - I assume its just used in missons to activate triggers or something:|

    nothing looks as cool as the blackhawk

    oh and Sand, if you want a way of making an extreme percision land switch to the command veiw, it works a treat although damn slow to do

    Yeah, she's a fast little biatch :)

    The laser designator came in around 1.20/1.30
    You can get men that have a handheld one too.
    As for it's uses, that depends on what add-ons you ahve and if you ahvea mission that uses them.
    There is an A-10 Bomber that has LGBs whioch will home into where ever the laser is pointed.
    I think the Apache's (not Longbow version) Hellfires will treack it aswell (they being laser guided - Longbow's being radar).
    It's cool.

    My favourite vehicle would have to be either the T-80 or the BMP. Savage little things when you'e got a good crew of people.

    you actually need another upgrade for the a-10's bombs to work right, its fine for when youre spotting the target, but try dropping the fuppin things 150m off the ground, going 30+kph without being able to look down!!!
    no thank you

    if i was to pick a second vehicle i'd pick the m2a2, not only to get one up on SyxPac, but also cuz irs got the lot, looks cool guns and it can carry troops. i wuves it:p

    cant remember the name of it but if you remember the missing it might help.. its a chopper, not the cobra though.. its in the mission where you have to infiltrate and blow up a load of tanks in one of the bases.. its a covert op.. at night.. you need to escape then to another point and among the tanks is a chopper.. well i laid the bombs but i also got into the chopper, took off and milled the place with rockets.. then flew for my life towards the pick up and ejected.. parachuted down to the pick up point and level completed.. i thought it was a damn cool way to finish that mission!! Anyway the chopper had some cool weapons.. bit bulky but i liked it!

    Fave mission :D

    Did something similar but grabbed a T80 instead of the chopper. Completely reduced the base to rubble before I left. There wasn't a thing left standing :D

    hey Saruman
    i though i was the only one who got into that fat russian chopper :) it was cool mission, the sneeking around followed by the wiping out groups of russians wth your machine gun, blowing up their tanks and then making a dash for their troop chopper with all the rockets, damm that was fun. Only thing was that i didnt know that you could eject from that chopper and i just died when it ran out of fuel
