I think the most we can hope for is Blackhawk/Hind/Ka 50 either patched in or as DLC.

Haha yes you're probably right. Although Its fun to voice ones hopes even if they not very likley to happen. No ones saying that they will be dissapointed if their hopes don't come true.

Huh? why? Its still russian, its just a more advanced version of the Mi-24D.

Thats like me saying I'm not comfortable flying the P-51D in BoP just because its not in RAF colours and isn't called the Mustang Mk.IV

there is a whole lot of news in russia about this but nothing so far in the west.. hey kors can you translate some of those for us?

from a german release today.."Somewhat disappointing, however, that only a single helicopter model may be flown, but at least in various modifications."

Thats proof of how ridiculous reviewers are!! Fancy writing something so stupid when its clearly obvious the game is evolved around the apache helicopter!! Idiocy.

Its silly things like that which makes me never listen to ANY review what so ever unless it comes from someone i know who has spent more than 30 mins playing a game :)

I for one will be getting this game no matter what, its one of my most anticipated title releases this year :D

Anything exported from the U.S.S.R won't have everything in it like the original.
Well, only one helicopter.. Let me know if I can paint a Russian flag on it.

Its being published by Activision. Big let down.

Well strickly speaking the Apache air Assault name is the series name just like Il-2 sturmovik and how many planes does that have? If they did fill AAA full of different aircraft it probably would probably still be called the same thing.

Its still possible that the A10 is flyable only in multiplayer and free flight after being unlocked. No reviewer is going to do enough to unlock aircraft. Remember how obscure the BoP unlocks are, we didn't have a clue before the unlock list came about. Gaijin could be keeping a good few aircraft a secret for now.

that is what i am thinking or hoping for. in BoP missions you dont get to pick the a/c but in mp you do. i am going to enjoy playing it no matter what...having additional a/c like the a10 would like icing...with sprinkles.

Export versions are often more advanced than the "Home" version. It may not have the original systems but they will have been replaced by better ones.
Mil and a few other Corperations have been upgrading alot of countries Mi-35s with Mi-28 systems (uprated engines, FLIR , NVG cockpits, modern rocket and missile systems). Meaning a very good Mi-35 is a far more capable aircraft than a lot of the old Hind D's that the russians have and more than a match for an Apache Longbow.

Just in case anyone isn't aware of this excellent new series Frontlines: Battle Machines, episode 5 will have some Apache content. Hopefully as much as the Chinook in the last one.

Hell, we need to know if the listed aircraft are flyable or not, can someone send a tweet perhaps? I don't use Twitter..

I believe they will answer on the yuplay forum. One thing I am wondering about is the ability to fire weapons in multiplayer. Judging by the screens I wonder in order to use your gun, rockets, or missles are you going to have to change to the gunner seat. The pictures on the site doesn't show any way to target enemies.
The game looks great though and I can't wait to see some more video. I wouldn't expect to fly the A-10 though, numerous people have talked about just flying variations of the Apache, but I hope Gaijin surprises us.:-P
