User blog comment:Zephalian/REPORT: Armored Kill Heading for September/@comment-70.249.146.140-20120604050120

I think that for Armored Kill, DICE could a new class of transport helicopters, especially for "the biggest map ever in Battlefield history". This new class would be called heavy transport helicopters, meaning that it would be bigger than the UH-1Y Venom and KA-60 Kasatka, in terms of size, and a little stronger, taking more damage than the Venom and Kasatka. To balance this, these heavy transport helicopters would have slower speed and less maneuverability than regular transport helicopters. But the big differences between these two transport helicopter classes are that the heavy transports would carry more passengers and one more gunner than regular transports does. One pilot, two door gunners firing miniguns, one ramp gunner firing a .50 cal machine gun mounted on the open ramp, and four to six passengers. Also, the pilot can have the ability to airlift certain vehicles (i.e. mainly light transport ground vehicles) just like in Battlefield: Vietnam. A cool thing that can be done is when a passenger wants to get off the heavy transport helicopter, it goes into a very short quick-time event of the character moving from his seat walking towards the open ramp via B button, and then while standing at the ramp waiting to jump out at the right moment, press the B button to jump out when you feel like it. For the .50 cal machine gun on the ramp, the damage would have to be the same as the .50 cal turrets on other vehicles, or the same as the minigun turrets. With this description written out to support my suggestion, DICE could add in the CH-53E Super Stallion (or the K model of the Super Stallion) for the Marines and whatever the Russian equivalent is to the Super Stallion. But, this can only happen if they replaced the regular transport helicopters for humungous-sized upcoming maps, and only for those humungous-sized upcoming maps such as "the biggest map ever in Battlefield history". Of course, they would have to be a little bit more balanced than what is written out in terms of speed, maneuverability, and health compared to regular transport helicopters. For the most part, I wish I could pilot a Pave Low in Battlefield 3 even though they were used in the Air Force for special operations purposes and are now retired (and yet they are in MW2 and MW3, which are set in the future, but we won't go there). And now, I would like to read what kind of feedback anybody has for this idea.
