Creative idea #1:
Huey gunships out front with eagle eye gunners set to fire at will. Ka-50's trail slightly, firing one illum rocket at a time to light a path. Huey miniguns will basically make a laser pointer to any enemy units (they'll outrange a shilka....) and then the Ka-50s can strike any discovered targets with vikhrs.
Hooray for abusing AI!
Chuck, a possible alternative teamspeak setup is to have the normal group channels, then a global channel. People would join their group channel in one teamspeak tab, then join the global channel in another tab. The crosstalk plugin can be used to set one channel to only play from the left speaker and the other channel to only play from the right speaker. Science says it's easier to decipher different people talking when the audio comes from different directions. This is what I do when playing on the 104th. The downside is that it requires more time to set up. I'm not sure if it's a good idea because of the added complexity but figured I'd throw it out there.
Also feel free to move me to an Mi-8 gunship if clebi still wants the Huey slot.
EDIT: or Mi-8 slick. I just realized there are a fair number of those slots left.
