:hmm: I have a question, do you think Helicopters should have Body class of it's own? or use the Bodies of current tanks (like viper,cobra,python,etc.)?

yes i agree with Roux on the original armor design. viper would look really nice, retribution would look sick nasty nasty. :D

Anyone here want to try balancing helicopters?

I find them a great idea, but I don't know how to balance them, and that hurdle should really be jumped through before we do anything else.

how about a little lower speed then VTOL like maybe 80% of vtols at max speed? slower acceleration, maybe 20% more hp and can turn ALOT faster? cost around the same, maybe lower tier and built slower/faster? not sure here...

Good idea Roux!
I hope that somebody could implement some type of ai for apachi.
Maybe with options to evade AA & Rocket Launchers fire but with calculation of percentage of succes or something similar.
Also it would be cool if the Advanced Machinegun Turret could shoot ground and air units!
