It's been a while since anyone's mentioned an Osprey for the USMC faction in BFE. Are we still going to get such a model or are there no plans for any airborne transport for marines?
V-22 Osprey in BFEVO, will we still get one for USMC?
- Thread starter Armchair_Marine
- Start date
interesting.
i have a modle ready for construction, but as of yet no rules for it so i havnt posted pics for it.
im sure were get official or unofficial rules at some point.
would love MGP to produce cards for units they never intend to produce to allow some modling fun and games.

Well either way we need an air transport for marines of some sort. If not the Osprey then give us either Blackhawks or the new Huey variant http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UH-1Y_Venom that the USMC is currently using.

I'd buy a marine army just to use an Osprey if they did a model.
Twice over if they release the marines in that kickass woodland camo

but in real life the v22 osprey is only just over 2 metres longer than a super lynx so the model wouldn't be that much bigger, would it?

I'd assume the Wingspan would be the big problem.

but would the wingspan be more than that of the planes that they are planning to do? they are going to do minis for planes arent they?

A quick look on Wiki reveals the osprey's wingspan is 14m, compared to the F-35's 10.65. The Typhoon only had a wing area listed.
Couldn't they make fighters with detachable wings, there are loads of different ways you could make them click into place that would make them nice and robust, it would also make them much easier to box and transport. I believe they are doing something similar with helicopters top rotars.
Sorry i did not get back to you, busy with my office work, i have found the file..!!
I thought i lost it, and was going to be in big trouble...

Sounds nasty, the ability to drop 24 infantry / specail forces / support units anywhere on the table is rather frightening... I just wonder what the point is of giving it 7D10 for close combat is thou.... Whats it going to do? try and ram other air units out of the air? Or headbutt tanks? Surely any air unit that tries to close combat anyother unit is going to render itself usless by trying to do so. Planes and helicopters are meant to take bird strikes without problems, charging down a unit of infantry with metal weapons and maybe armour is going to do them serious damage....

Isn't the close combat score is for when it crashes? Anything under it takes 7D10?
