  10. CAPTJACKAUBREY69 says:

    @Gryphon950 No seriously it is part of the system that attaches itself to the ship during pitching deck scenarios. I believe it is called RAST-recovery, assist, securing and traversing (RAST)

  11. CAPTJACKAUBREY69 says:

    @Gryphon950 Its a dikfor.

    @majormajor42 i think its called a tallon well thats what its called on cosastguard helicopter. its basicly a large metal shaft with clamps on the end that lock onto the deck of a ship to prevent the chopper from rolling off the back of the ship

  16. gtafan2006 says:

    @jasonbadler my guess is if it has weapons it could be used for close air support of ground troops which would reduce helicopter pilots KIA due to the fact that they cost less to produce and dont need someone in the cockpit to fly them. and that means less pilots would die in wartime situations. plus a drone dosent get tired like a pilot does

    that uav was arround way before bc2 came out

  18. gtafan2006 says:

    lol where do you think they got the idea for the uav from

  19. Flyglobespan93 says:

    The UAV from Battlefield bad Company 2 LOL

  20. majormajor42 says:

    what is that probe thing that lowers into the deck at 1:23?

  21. BrotherBloat says:

    isn’t it the machine that just contributed by accident to stopping a 60kg coke smuggle?

  22. iSNiPEjust says:
