I'm sure they knew they had a job to do and were 100% confident they could get it done. But at some point me personally I would say "This is crazy we are sitting on top of rockets". I was saying it would be scary sitting on the pylon directly underneath the rotor there is not much room in between the two.

Especially if you're 6' or more.

Ed Macys Apache and Damien Lewis' Apache Dawn are both good books, just picked up Hellfire by Macy and I want Dressed to Kill by Charlotte Madison (who is mentioned in Apache).
Yes I have an Apache 'thing', I blame you Microprose Gunship

Lol. I see your point.

But neither you, nor your buddy, have seen real combat, been captured, (like the men involved in this rescue mission) and experienced the feeling of being rescued.

Like I said. It would be the best time of my life.


Sorry to get this topic so off track.

Back to the game. So the co-op is local only? How great would co-op online 4 player with 2 Apaches. I really cannot wait for this game. Anton and the crew did us proud with BOP so theres every chance this will replace Gunship as the best Heli game ever. I agree with other comments though we need some other gunships in there. Heres what I want:
Havok
Hind
Little Bird
Lynx
Cobra

Throw in a Black Hawk for CTA missions. I really think CTA should have Black Hawks deploying troops to capture, even if its just a visual cue.
