I would love to see the warm-up time on the BH mini-guns removed....

I would like to see the ability for the MG gunner in a tank (third position) to use their binocs while still in the tank. I hate it when I have to get out of the tank every time I want to search for targets for the tank.

Really? That would be a very bad idea. Think of this:

It is the beginning of the round. 15 get on the Chinook, and it takes off. An enemy MANPAD gets a lock, and the Chinook, being huge and slow, gets shot down. Half the team dies. The enemy grinds up the rubble, puts it in a bottle, and sells it on the Internet as "Failsauce."

Not only did the US get owned, but the enemy made a profit.

Edit:Oh crap, sorry for the double post. I didn't realize that I had the most recent post in this thread. Somehow.

This photo was taken by a soldier in Afghanistan of a helo rescue mission. The pilot is a PA Guard guy who flies EMS choppers in civilian life. Now how many people on the planet you reckon could set the back end of a chopper down on the roof top of a shack on a steep mountain cliff and hold it there while soldiers load wounded men in the rear??? If this does not impress you ... nothing ever will. Gives me the chills and a serious case of the vertigo ... I can't even imagine having the nerve ... much less the talent and ability . God Bless our military!!!!!

Hehe, no...

He is talking about the open beta months ago. Me and like 4 other guys played it, it was a ton of fun.

**Corporal_Cody** · 06-19-2008, 07:56 AM

Gah, sorry for doublepost, but just one more thing.

and the Chinook, being huge and slow, gets shot down.

I remember reading in the developer journal that the Chinook is supposedly quite fast, faster even than the Apache. (could be absolutely incorrect, but it came from a dev, so I have think that its going to be implemented like that.)

**Dick Blonov** · 06-19-2008, 08:08 AM

New maps.

And maybe a revised AAS logic...

I've seen it sugested a few times on the PR forums, but never seen a definative answer from a dev about it. Saying that, if you check the PR forums there are a lot of people out there who dont consider the .50 gunner on the tank to be part of the crew :\ if I spend over an hour crawling round on my belly in the middle of some god forsaken desert wrenching tank tracks, I think I'm kind of entitled to be considered part of the crew. But yeah, as its one of the most dangerous, boring and important jobs all at the same time, the .50/Engi needs some new toys in 0.8

Khara is an independent map made by Coderedfox.

Because of it's quality, it is now going to be a main feature of .8

EDIT: The .50 cal gunner position is, trust me, something that pisses us all off. Until we have a new tank model that would allow this, I don't think we'll see that in the near future, unfortunately.

**Sabre_Tooth_Tigger** · 06-19-2008, 11:23 AM

Thats the one with a tunnel through the mountain top, looked impressive.

I hope it still contains some of the more radical parts like good terrain cover on mountain sides (ie. they aint simple smooth slopes) and also the additional vehicle spawn if you capture the enemy base
