New Unit: Ah64D Longbow Apache

[Pawel]

Why not try a multi-role helicopter like the Lynx? In general, I also think it is nicer to have units that are actually in service and have seen some action (e.g. in the Falklands) rather than just prototypes. And there are so many of them out there.

By the way, after playing around with this very nice unit, I came to the conclusion that I preferred the F-15, rather than the fighter sound. It kind of fits the animation better - I think. Besides, you don't get to hear it as often. For you curious, yet lazy, people who don't want to edit the .ini file yourselves, I attach mine.

I ´ll make a lynx for my Falkland scn, but I´m going for the navy version in blue camo with seaskua missiles. If an army Lynx is needed I could probably release it in two different versions

Sorry to bumb and old thread, but is there civpedia text for this unit anywhere? Who used it? Only the US?

Also an idea for using helicopter, may be someone has mentioned it before: good attack, miserable defense, many moves and blitz, so that you can attack and then go back to a city since it doesn't defend well. Also: treat all terrain as road, zone of control and perhaps bombardment?

Sorry again, guess I should have taken the time too look around first: http://www.cdgroup.org/forums/tbs/civ3/viewtopic.php?p=24097#24097 here is a pediatext for Apache...

I didn´t made a pediatext for it, but I think if you´re browsing the web you´ll find lots of info about it.

For example here´s somehting that should help: http://www.army-technology.com/projects/apache/

It has also countries that use the heli

Nice unit!
But how can it work in ? - I mean: what type?
How can it make fueled??

 

[Risbinroch]

Make it a land unit, with a high attack but very low defense, high movement and blitz... That's what I do anyway.

No but then ask privately, if everyone brings back old topics, then this forums goes down

While understanding that answer is desirable - answer would also have been found by reading through a few old unit forum threads, and in main creation.

Bumping old threads is frowned upon, whereas a little patience would have yielded an answer
