o Laser Guided:
To manually aim the rockets, the LASER must be ON and you need to
LOCK ON to it.
Gatling 20 mm GUN (Renamed XM301)
o Can be zeroed between 100 and 3000 meters.
o Can be automatically zeroed if LASER ON and the gun has LOCK ON to it.
ASRAAM Missiles (renamed AIM-92 Stinger):
o IR Guided.
o Can LOCK ON air targets.

Countermeasure Release Programs:

You can cycle through them as you normally do with countermeasure mode switch
key.
Present in all Helos.
Modes:
o A- single pair release
o B- 8 flares in 0.5 seconds
o C- 8 flares in 1 s
o D- 8 flares in 2 s
o E- 8 flares in 4 s
o F- 16 flares in 1 s
o G- 16 flares in 2 s
o H- 16 flares in 4 s
o I- 16 flares in 8 s

Infra-Red Jammer (IR Jammer):

IR Jammer saturates enemy Anti-Air Missiles with IR energy to confuse and spoof the
missile.
Works for 30 seconds, after that it needs a cooling period of ONE minute before it can
be used again.
How to use it:
o Cycle through the countermeasure release settings until you get IR
Jammer.
o Press countermeasure release key.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

MH-6 and AH-6 have flares.


All Copilots can shoot flares.
All copilots (except for AH-6) now have an HMD and is the same as the pilots.
There is no more fuel status indication or airframe damage indicators (you can notice
damage just by using your mk-1 eyeballs and mk-2 ears. You can notice the handicaps
easily, so for immersion purposes they were removed).
Every time you switch weapons or dispense flares, the vanilla weapon status box will
appear, so dont despair if you dont see it.
The Turrets for both WY-55 and AH-99 have 6 zoom levels:
i. No zoom, Not ground stabilized, this is the setting you need to have to
aim the turret with your mouse when looking out of the canopy, in other
words, when you are heads up
ii. No zoom, Ground Stabilized, the latter means the turret will keep poiting
towards the same point on the ground when you stop moving your mouse
around. Note that while HEADS UP, you wont be able to turn the turret.
iii. Zoomed, Ground Stabilized.
iv. Zoomed, Ground Stabilized.
v. Zoomed, Ground Stabilized.
vi. Zoomed, Ground Stabilized.
