[BlackHawk]

I concur, though I used the name in Tribes way before the movie came out. :cool:

[Lexington_Steele]

I think there might have been a type of helicopter that had that name before the movie. ;)

The movie may not've been great, but the true story behind it was.

[FearTheAtlas]

The story behind it was sad, they killed the soldiers and dragged their boddies in the street cheering and yelling.

[Strygun]

If I remember it correctly, not all the soldiers died. They were rescued eventually...

[NightWalker XI]

Yeah some were rescued I think...

[FireWolf22]

Just to let you all know(from an ex-military prospective). The Story behind the movie was very sad. We did loose quite a few good men in that little extracation of the Somalian people. They were being wronged by their dictator, Who was controlling all the food and arms in the area. He was rulling by starvation. A starving people can't overthrough you if they are all dead and forced to love you to get food. If you weren't on the dictators side you starved or were killed by his militia. The militia even went as far as to use kids and women as shields and armed them so we would have to kill them or die. If we shoot a women or child, then we look bad. So that was the reason for the "do not fire, unless fired upon". So we would have to hold fire until it was made obvious, by someone being shot, that we were under fire. They took down 2 of our BlackHawk choppers, so "noone gets left behind" kicked in. So we had to move in troops to get to the crash sites and get the down personnel out. So many of our Soldiers died that day due to the fact that the militia had the sworms of women and children in the rioting crowds. Most of the wonded were evact out and the pow's rescued after the fact, but we did lose a few during the mission.

Also on a side note there is a military chopper called the BlackHawk. It is a fast attack troop transport. It has replaced the huie chopper of Vietnam. It has duel turbine engines, fast repel ropes, and duel mounted 30 mm(i believe) belt fed chainguns. The guns can also be replaced with other machine guns, i.e m-60 belt fed 7.62mm machinegun.

And finally there is also a Native American Tribe that was named BlackHawks. I don't know much about them. Just know that there was and may still be.:)

[eXoSloth]

Wasn't there a BlackHawk copter in the first Matrix?

[Strygun]

I think that was a B212 Bomber

[Airlift]

A half squad blackhawkish transport is the vehicle I most want to see in Planetside. Something akin to a flying deliverer that handles exactly like a Reaver. Mmmm, door gunners.

[FireWolf22]

In the First Matrix, there was no BlackHawk chopper. That one they flew when they rescued Morphius? That was a black(painted) heui. With a door Mounted Chaingun. I don't remimber any other Choppers in the first Matrix movie. The only Added movie effect was that the Chaingun was mounted in the front of the door. Most Door guns on huies were mounted in the back section of the crew area but still inside the door area. The gunner would then kind of hang there strapped into a seat. The reason for the mounts being so far back was due to the need for quick mounting and departing of the rotary aircraft. If the gunner has to keep getting in and out it takes more time. The chopper then has to sit on the ground longer and is under fire for a longer period of time(bad juju).

Recent U.S. military helicopters, for the most part, are nicknamed after Native American tribes:

UH-1 "Iriquois" (but better known as "Hueys")
UH-60 "Blackhawk"
AH-64 "Apache"
RAH-66 "Comanche"
CH-47 "Chinook"
AH-56 "Cheyenne"
OH-6 "Cayuse"

"H" is the standard designation for helicopter. This is modified with: "U" for utility; "A" for attack; "R" for reconnaisance; "C" for cargo; "O" for observation; "S" for shipborne; "M" for special operations and "H" for rescue.

The main exceptions to this naming convention you would see are the AH-1 "Cobra" and HH/CH/MH-53 "Jolly Green Giant/Sea Stallion/Pave Low".

[Hamma]

The commanche isnt even out yet is it? :eek:

Perhaps I am thinkinga bout a different aircraft.

Anyway, the blackhawk is cool, I can see why lots of poeple use that nick :p

[Peacemaker]

Commanche isnt due till 2006 hamma

That is a recon heli probly most close to a sketeer but more of a punch. Most people think its going to replace the Apache or the Longbow (same chopper diffrent sensor suite) but its not, this thing will hunt out the tanks and then the Apaches will blow them apart. Personaly I think the US is still focused on huge battles in Europe more than anything. We need more localized forces that can strike quick and hard with more fear than anything.

P.S. the UH- 60 Blackhawk is normaly armed in two fashions, either 2 19 rocket FFAR (Folding Fin Airial Rockets) mounted on stubs under the cargo compartment with optional long range 1000 lbs fuel bladders or a jelly mounted 7.62mm (.30 cal) M-60 Light Machinegun. For added firepower you can have a 7.62 6 barrel minigun mounted in the gunner station just like the M-60

[ObnoxiousFrog]

The Commanche is designed to be a fast-strike scout/attack chopper capable of carrying large amounts of mounted ordnace thnks to its internally held racks. It thus can quickly switch from dumbfire Hydra air-to-ground rockets to heavy Hellfire missles. It also has a rotary 3-barreled 20mm chaingun mounted in a turret in the nose. It is also capable of reaching speeds in escess of 200 kph. Strong titamium/ceramic alloy armor protects the pilot and the chopper from ground fire, as well as hazmat sealing to keep radiation and other hazardous elements out of the craft.
