Vulvokunvrii Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Hello SFO! Its me Reynard, and I'd like to chat if you've got a moment. I've been thinking lately about, well, Helicopters. Helicopters are very cool, and a very essential piece of technology. So tell me, what are your favorites? It can be any number. Posting a picutre and why you like it or them would help a bundle, but that is strictly up to YOU I love my country, but argueably, my favorite helicopter isnt American. My favorite helicopter belongs to a former enemy of the states: Mine is the Mi-24 "Hind" Heavy Gunship from Russia. I LOVE this chopper because it is freaking huge, it looks menacing, it has a chin gun that spews lead death very fast, is able to have wing mounted mahcine guns controled from the cockpit, rockets for destroying things, AT rockets for killing troublesome vehicles, it can actually drop BOMBS, you could use it for a med evac helicopter if you wanted, and you could even drop a 3 to 4 man fire team too! this helicopter is multipurpose, and looks good doing it! What can I say? I Love multipurpose vehicles. What about you ladies and gentlemen? I can't wait to see and read what you have to say! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrypticQuery Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I've always found myself quite partial to the OH-6 Cayuse; excellent for multipurpose work and general greatness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asper Sarnoff Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Tie between the Mil-24 Hind and the Boeing AH-64 Apache. Both big, ugly SOBs with a killer punch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrypticQuery Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Sweet choices! How are they ugly though? Compared to the aesthetics of other choppers, they are pretty ugly, albeit versatile and functional. ___ If I had to go with a second choice, it would definitely be the Sikorsky UH-60, affectionately known as the Black Hawk; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxMcCloud Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Mine would have to be the Blackhawk, Flies low and fast and is the workhorse of the Military. Also I prefer the Medical variant which is meant for quick evacs at the LZ and durability from fire, it does not come with any weaponry, in this case the .50 cal guns on each side.

LoneWolf Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Looks like I'm with the UH-60 crowd here, although I do like some of the newer experimental stuff with the radar reflective coating. I find sharp angles quite good looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vy'drach Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I too have to go with the Mil Mi-24 "Hind" as it is not only a fearsome whirlybird, bit it's fearsome for a reason, as it can take direct hits from RPG-7s and likely larger ones (though not likely an RPG-29 "Vampir" as that can punch through the armour on an M1 Abrams tank and the T-90, despite its reactive armour, like it's wet paper) and keep flying. I also like the Mil Mi-28 "Havoc". Same basic idea as the Hind, except it's smaller and more optimized for combat by removing the passenger cabin, reducing it's transport capability from eight troops to only three, but it gained increased mobility and speed, as well as a smaller hitbox, in the process.

Arashikage Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Damn, I know soo many awesome helicopters, and they're all freakin' sweet, but if I had to choose one, I'd have to go with the AH-1 Super Cobra Also, Reynard, if you like huge helicopters, you might wanna give the MI-26 a look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
