As promised here's the revised card with the corrections to passenger capacity. It's larger than I thought. Also gave it a new pic with outboard rockets. Hopefully PSC will release this in 1/100 plastic. Fingers crossed.

I like it! I've been using Hips as surrogates for Hinds with micro armor since the beginning. On a similar vein: the Apache. Why not give it multiple Hellfire shots? It carried various load-outs. One variation had 16 Hellfire missiles and it could target and fire all 16 at once or in ripple fire attacks. Why not give it 2 Hellfire shots a turn. Or more? Or maybe that's why they haven't included it in their cards? cheers |

maybe that's why they haven't included it in their cards? No AT missile in this game has a ROF > 1, ground or air launched, Halted or Moving. I'm leery of unbalancing the game by giving the Apache's Hellfires a ROF of 2 or more. I did catch a couple of mistakes though. When I did the card for the Apache I used the profile of the wire-guided Improved TOW missile and only increased the AT value of the Hellfire to 22, but Hellfire being laser-guided should be able to be fired both Halted and Moving. The chaingun also should not have a Halted ROF of 6 since it's not a gatling gun like the Cobra's. Corrected here: TMP link |
