Luke-

Tell us about the AH64 armament package.

 

Cool stuff!

Luke why do you say Chinook is no fun to fly? It's no Apache but that shot of it against the cliff with troops behind... Cool and I bet fun to fly.

 

30mm chain gun...1200 rounds...targeted through monocle in the helmet.

Hellfire missles...fire and forget. Can even be pinpointed by another source so the Apache may not even see the target or the target see the Apache.

Hydra 70mm rockets....19 rockets per missle tube...unguided...used for soft targets such as troops or light armor.

The Apache has 4 pylons on the wings so it can carry a mix of 4 hellfires per pylon or one missle tube per pylon. The pylons can also be used for fuel tanks to extend it's range.

It's got a range of about 600 miles without extra fuel tanks and a top speed of 232 Mph.

FOCK!

 

You're looking to join Delta Force?

 

I'd like to fly for them eventually...once I get bored of Apaches and get all my required flight times in like night flying. Loaches rock...aka little birds. They are actually so light on the controls that they don't even use hydraulics. I'd be doing things like flying them into Black OP areas or flying support. You got a good example of what they do on Blackhawk Down.

 

You do realize that w/ Delta you're just as likely to end up flying Black Hawks, don't you...?

BTW...found a new office for ya, Luke...

 

Possibly Brant. I'll have to see how things work out. By then I might be read to be a ferry. I mean...that's a long ways down the road.

Here is a pic of a loach...you can see the minigun on the side if you look close.

 

That's a big bird!
