My friend, what is it that you ask? Perhaps, you can find for what you seek with the USMC (oob13), as there is a similar weapon. Do you wish for more info, or is your quest on a different path? I know that the 53 is a mighty workhorse. It was there when the Marines saved Scott O'Brady. As was the mighty Whiskey (AH-1W). http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif


Here is a bit to aid you on your magnificent quest:

"US Air Force upgrade of Special Operations Forces combat rescue and recovery fleet; 31 HH-53Bs, HH-53Cs and CH-53Cs converted at NAS Pensacola, Florida, beginning 1986, to MH-53J Pave Low III Enhanced; similar to 11 HH-53H Pave Low III produced earlier, eight survivors of which also converted to MH-53Js; programme completed in 1990. MH-53Js upgraded to MH-53M standard. MH-53J remains in service for training purposes." Janes Info Group

Isn't the diff. between the PaveLow and the other xH-53xs just the electronics loadout? Perhaps you could simulate the PaveLow by using the MH-53E Sea Dragons from the USMC OOB, and then manually editing the EW rating for the particular unit, and then renaming it.
You may also want to bump up the experience/morale to better model the Night Stalker pilot you assuredly will want flying that thing ...

Here's the standard MH/CH-53x:

Also, it looks like they're up to a PaveLow IV -- MH-53M. The main difference seems to be the electronics loadout.

I don't know if they changed it in v2.0, or if I just overlooked it, but the MH-53 PaveLow is now in the USMC OOB.

Dosn't the scenario "Amphibious raid on North Korea" have Pave Lows?
