Helicopter Focused Troop Transport Hot Drop Missions

[TFS]

Are there any persistent style missions that can be played cooperatively that is helicopter focused consisting of shorter distance, (4-10nm) infantry focused transport missions. No air threats, just troop hot insertion and extraction vs various enemy infantry locations. I tried blades of glory, and this is where I got the idea from. Does anyone know if something like this exists?

Or something like ECW style picking up troops, bringing them to an enemy location till they are destroyed and then extract and move to the next location. With Afghanistan partly here, and CH47 around the corner these style missions would be a blast, quick action, especially if escorted by an AH or few transport helos together. I've been toying with trying to make something myself, but the learning curve has been rather aggressive for me.  Thanks.

Have you tried "CESAR in Caucasus"? It focuses on CSAR, not transport, but may tide you over until someone gets around to write a helicopter-centric COIN & Support miz

100% gonna give this a try. This sounds like possibly my dream csar setup if the rescues forever separated lol, however the download link is 404 not found for me with several attempts.  

 

I tried the "Through the Inferno" files this morning after this post. They do a great job of what I was thinking for the helicopter troop insert and csar, but so much else going on. They were even scaled down to much closer sites, on Marianas it was 2.5nm and 7nm, perfect. If there was a dedicated version of just that it would be great. I wonder if that script could just be isolated with all the helo focused stuff. COIN, CTLD, CSAR with the ch47, UH1, even UH60 focused style like those scripts would be lots of fun.

Hope it's ok sharing it,

I strongly recommend that you only share missions that you have the author's permission to do so. Although obviously well-intended, the version that you have posted here is an older version that does no longer correctly run with current DCS, and it may reflect badly on the author. Just share a link to ED's user files where the mission has its home, and people can always find the most up-to-date version, and perhaps similar missions.
