Will the commanche be getting added back in to new maps as an alternate apache or something?
Also, I'd like to see transport helicopters get a new armour type that can withstand a lot more sniper hits. It's a pretty useless unit considering how easily it can be shot down, it's APC-fast speed, slow maneuverability, lack of any defence, costing $700 and being neither a better unit than an APC or a unit that negates its weaknesses with it's ability to fly into the enemy base.

Yes, transport chopper should get 1-2 passenger-side miniguns and be able to survive a high-altitude flight through a field. It's weak point should be descending or ascending where it loses so much forward movement, not getting canned by snipers as soon as it appears. Also, it would be cool if miniguns did very low damage per shot but fired 500-1000 bullets a minute to simulate that greased lightning thing miniguns do.Or can barrels not spin around?

Given what can be done with the engine as it stands now, what I think should be done:
1.make the transport helicoptor have better armour (or better yet, make the snipers do less damage)
and 2.give it a machine gun (mabie the hummvee gun).
Remember, only one person inside a vechicle can fire.
If there is one person inside, they are both driver and gunner.
If there are multiples, the second person to get in is the gunner and the others are passengers.

Agreed. These pigs need some protection, and this sounds like the perfect solution.

If you negate the snipers, then what defense would you have against the flying vechs? With a good driver (pilot) it's already hard enough to defend against the apaches/orcas. Giving the trans heli more armor and an offensive weapon sounds good to me.

I still think they should remain non combat vehicles, but maybe make it so they can take a beating

Snipers should do no damage to vechicles.
For attacking air units, one should use rockets that can track their targets.

The idea is that rockets would be homing or tracking or something and would therefore be more accurate and harder to dodge.
I would suggest that the regular sniper does no damage to vechicles at all and that the ramjet (the more powerfull one) does a small amount of damage, or mabie nothing at all either.
Then, for attacking vehicles you need to use rockets (such as the MRLS, Recon Bike, Rocket Soldier Officer, Dead 6 guy with rocket launcher etc, rocket launcher picked up from a spawner etc)

As long as the actual armour or health on the apache/orca isn't changed and automatic rifles do the same damage, I'm cool with it. In city flying exp, auto rifles did less and this is what made apaches own the skies when you had lost your HON/bar.
But yea, transport helicopters... I think everyone is in agreement that they need to be changed somewhat.
