Default Re: Usmc oob

1. Given the way artillery is modeled in the game there was no practical way to implement the M777A2/EXCALIBUR, so like LANTERN pods it's kinda just ignored.

2. While it's 100% true that USN Hellfires (for that matter almost all USN helos) would almost never support USMC operations, there's no reason they couldn't/wouldn't be used to support SEAL or pilot recovery ops. While many players of course don't know/care about the difference between USMC and USN aircraft/helos/units the purists (and hopefully most scenario designers) will.

3. The pictures are wrong, but the best I could find in the current default photo set. The unit classification is based on the mission they're outfitted to perform NOT the actual official classification of the helo.
Light Helicopter (UC 204) = Observation
Light Attack Helo (UC 221) = Gunship
COIN Armed (UC 222) = Troop Transport
In both Observation and Gunship configurations they would not be carrying troops; and in when carrying troops they wouldn't be heavily armed as the need the lift capacity for those troops. And yes in reality they Vision/EW/structural system should be the same for each BUT who wants to spend 260 points for a transport helo? Even 157 is a bit much. Judgement call on my part.
