I like the Vehicles for Task force Talon! Especially the CH-53, " Sea Dragon" What is the first unit, or the Gardain do? is that a special tank, or is that to capture prisioners?

And where is the "GUOZ" for?
And the "Globalhawk" (I think scout)?

Well, in reality, the Globalhawk is a recon drone that can stay aloft for about 2 days. It's equipped with electro-optical, infrared and radar senors. I had heard that some in the Air Force had wanted to arm them with weapons, since they have such a huge payload, but others decided against it. Reason being they wanted it to replace the U2 and not have problems with countries accepting the drone at their bases.

The game developers apparently want to arm the Global Hawk , so see attached jpeg, it's armed with air-to-ground missiles.

The GUOZ I think is based on a project that DARPA is working on together with the Army. It comes in three different sizes. The attachment has a picture of the largest one. It's a drone that can hover and more importantly, "perch and stare." This means it can land on a roof like a bird and then stare at an area looking for insurgents, snipers, you name it. RAND, a military think tank has made suggestions, they should be able to do this, but they've gone so far and said they should look like bricks, so they wouldn't be noticed at all.

The units for TFT are so cool. The US Army gets the Apache which will be the equivalent to the Comanche for TFT which means the Army units ought to be really cool as well. Plus the Army gets the Paladin atrillery tank and the M1 Abrams. I dont know which faction I want to learn first lol.

Too bad those Missiles look like AT-2 Swatters instead of Hellfires.:lightbulb

I suggest you could search on the net the word "GUOS". Maybe you could find some "intel" ( :D ) about it ?

I dig the CH-53 too, but I hope they keep this one unit that's in this screenshot. The V44 troop transport. I'm pretty sure it's goes to Task Force Talon.

I highly doubt those were all the Talon vehicles, we will most likely see more soon.

:) what i want to see most is like getting into 1 of those transport planes and rappelling off it or sumthing like in Generals. As this allows for 2 things.
1. Ur troops don't have to walk.
2. U mite be able to find a route that lets u drop behind enemy lines safely.

I think each army gets a transport helicopter (or the equivilant) of some kind.

ya....as we know that the Consortium will have a mi-8 hip(I hope that it will be armed with rockets)so the hip will be probbly the main transporter for the enemy
