I don't know about anyone else, but I wouldn't mind seeing a helicopter gunship in the GLA. Considering their skill in acquiring ex-Soviet equipment, I would suggest either the Mi-24 Hind (my personal favourite; chaingun, rocket pods, antitank missiles. Plus passenger capacity for 8 troops and enough armour to stop most stuff smaller than a RPG or SA-13) or possibly a Ka-72 (not as heavily armoured, no troop carrying; armed with a chaingun and rocket pods). The rockets would be the buggy rockets (after buggy ammo upgrade), antitank missiles would be much like those on the comanche (though both that and the Hind really need more range; Hellfires (Comanche) and AT-4 Saggers/AT-6 Spirals (Mi-24) both have a slight edge in range on stingers as used in stinger sites. The chaingun for all choppers would be the same one that's on the Comanche now (with anti-air capability if possible). On the Hind, the antitank missiles and rockets would toggle like anthrax and explosive warheads on the scud do. A palace (or possibly a black market) would be required to produce them, most likely. May need a helipad too if the arms dealer doesn't work (probably a converted USA supply dropzone).

Unfortunately, I'm completely inept at arty stuff, even with computers; I can barely get a straight line right. Is anyone working on something like this, or preparing to? Please let us know here if you are.
