I do like the rockets, although nails are back in the inventory I haven't had the chance to use them yet, I like singles and multiple trigger pulls until I'm happy 
. The 30MM chain gun is nice too, missiles are just so anti-climatic when shot.
I just unretired from the guard this spring and started flying helicopters again after about 5 years out. Freshly completed the "D" model course a couple of months ago, nice upgrade to the crew/aircraft interface but added enough weight to make a good flying aircraft a fat pig. Go figure.

The Muddle East
IIRC....Saladin re-took the area from European knights, who grabbed it from another group of Muslims, who booted out the Byzantines, who replaced the Romans, who conquered the Israelites, who displaced the Canaanites, but were captured by the Babylonians, until the Persians knocked them out....
So far, the Eskimos have not weighed in with a historical grievance.

I do remember.
I also have no idea how a yemeni bomb conversation made it into our Cav thread.
I'm suprised we haven't been moved to the Mil section yet.
