 The NH40 Pegasus utility helicopter is the flying workhorse of the European Continental Army, as well as many of its member nation's armed forces. It is reliable, all-weather capable and can be used in a variety of roles. Some NH40 are outfitted with external munitions dispersal pods in order to create minefields by simply flying over an area while others have been designated as medical search and rescue helicopters that are called upon by combat physicians to extract incapacitated comrades from the field of battle on short notice.  As of the upcoming version 1.85, the Pegasus will replace the current Vulcan bomber for the Minefield General Power while the Medivac version will be used to visualise the Evacuate Wounded ability of the ECA Medic, so it is mostly a cosmetical addition. And as always I would like to remind all of you out there that there will be another livestream on this Sunday (May 4th):  (please note as stated in the image that we will be starting an hour later this time)     --------------------  |

For some reason this heli look just like papercraft to me
 BTW, I was hoping for a transport chopper for ECA, but when I finished reading I was kinda disappointed

Very nice cosmetical addition. Is there anyway for shadows to not just appear out of the air?

A fun fact is that we allready wanted to implement this in 1.8 but due to time restrictions we didn't

I like the Pegasus a lot. IPS did a good job on that.
Also is that the Anvil Bot I see in the live stream image  ?

In the video it looks really awesome. And there´s also a radius increase!
And it seems as if the soldiers lay around longer, or is that not true? Nice jobs guys, that will make the medic so much more awesome!

Out of curiosity, how do the pilot(s) get out of the chopper? There aren't any visible doors... |

Love it. Love it. Love it. Definitely, new cosmetic changes and new units are definitely on the spot. More appealing than ever, and there is certainly more around. Keep it up guys!
P.S. Also watching streams,which are great look on builds, new mechanics, unlike early YT showcase videos, which were fine. But on YT, 'cause I lack the time in RL and patience to wait on Twitch.

QUOTE (SirLaserPaladin @ 3 May 2014, 22:04) Also, what is that unit featured in the annoucement? Looks somewhat like a prism tank. Anvil Bot, as said above. It's unlocked from the Manticore Protocol (or will be in 1.85) and it makes the units around it untargetable (the Anvil itself is targetable) -------------------- Your feeling of helplessness is your best friend, savage.
