OpenRA

That's the idea. Why fight to change the RA mod and in the process completely disrupt the devs and community when you can just mod it yourself.

You're a little late to the party Rexxy , everything has been resolved nicely.

Sounds like motive to make an mod instead of focusing on trying to change the RA mod itself. That way, there is no resistance towards ideas you feel are logical, no defence against ones you find illogical and no stupidity and miscommunication by everyone lol.

I have to say the new unit does look nice. This would close this discussion once and for all. The name Iroquois doesn't tell me anything though, I'd stick to Huey, or Black Hawk or Cobra just for staying on the iconic side of things. This would open the way for a third soviet faction that utilizes ...

The name should be reflective of what it represents. This is also exacerbated by the fact it's an iconic Russian attack helicopter.

For anyone who wants to play around with it, here is the download.

EDIT: Forgot to include the cameo.

You're right Materianer. I got way too competitive with this one, I'm generally pretty relaxed. Because of that I was unable to do any of this in an orderly and reasonable fashion.

Unit download below: In the politest possible way, I am simply curious about your views regarding this unit replacing the Hind. https://s3.postimg.org/759ar5gpv/ingame_twoblade_short_anim.gif Unfortunately though, both pull requests have been denied due to the nature and magnitude of the discussions...

Alright seems we've more or less settled this idiocy on IRC. Looking back it was all totally unnecessary and I apologize for bloating the topic. We have and I'm glad we did. Apology accepted, and If I have offended you in any way I apologize for that. A valiant effort Mortecha. A reimagination of t...

Absolutely, in future there will hopefully not be an adversarial climate for more tact to be able to be utilised. Not mutually exclusive IMO. Else nothing would get done. Well not in the way that all this has come about. There would have to be cooperation and communication for that to be effective....

If you insist. Right. So you've argued consistently that the core of the issue is that the Cobra does not look like a Cobra. That the criteria for a good Hind make-over is for it to closely resemble the unit it is supposed to change into. However you've projected that intention over to me and then ...

Firstly I didn't misrepresent your intention. I am not working for you to further your goals. Also your intention wasn't in the clear to be misrepresented in the first place. ... Oh please stop your "I don't work for you" tirade - you pulled that same crap with others in the community earlier when ...

I don't think there is need to change hinds but if something is done to them, then please replace them with this unit. This Cobra-hind hybrid is a strange thing and should not be added I'm really impressed by the good work Mortecha is doing here. The cameo is looking well, the two bladed rotor fits...

I realised that Huey is the slang name for this helicopter, and the official one is "Iroquois". Using this name conforms to a semi implemented naming convention as Chinook is used. If you rename the Longbow to Apache you'll have all their official and American Indian names:P The Cameo has also been ...

I like the originality of the Huey. Cobra and Hind are hard to distinguish as it is just a quick paint job. Do you have an icon already? The Huey seems like the most logical helicopter the Allies would be using for the role it performs in-game. I'm glad you like it:) As for the cameo I'm working on...

Thank you for the kind words Irnub:)

Could you make it a 2 bladed helicopter maybe?

That's a good point, I'll test out a two bladed rotor animation and see how it looks.
