Hi mates!

In those days a renewed choper fewer came among our community!

We got a new H-34/Wessex!

Now we're waiting for some updates of the existing one!

BUT

A great little chopper that we miss for spotting targets is the Bell OH-58 Kiowa:

It was first used in Vietnam among the Cayuse and after was the dedicated spotter partner of the great Apache!

In the course of development it can be also enabled to act as a FAC and spot target for AI attack choppers!!

A bell jet ranger can easily be messed about with to sub for that. ^_^
