is that an antennae, or a harpon?
@CAPTJACKAUBREY69 whats a dikfor? lol jk
@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)
@Gryphon950 Its a dikfor.
@Gryphon950
maybe fuel line?
at 1:25, wuts that thing that comes out of the bottom?
Now run down to the Navy Recruiter and you can play with the new toys!
Go Navy!
@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
@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
lol where do you think they got the idea for the uav from
The UAV from Battlefield bad Company 2 LOL
what is that probe thing that lowers into the deck at 1:23?
isn’t it the machine that just contributed by accident to stopping a 60kg coke smuggle?
Nice! chopper gunner next, lmao

@jasonbadler Among other things, It can land on a small helipad like the one on this ship
