Helicopters in game

★★ Guide

Hello everyone!

 

I want to start with telling that I very like the game but think it could be much better after fixing some issues.

 

Helicopters are very important in the game but their current implementation lacks some important things for me.

 

1) Bad throttle control/huge damage on obstacle contact

 

It is very hard or almost impossible to carefully and precisely pilot the heli: in small speed mode it is very hard to be on one height without any side or foward movement, you cannot just freeze, you always have to move- that is not good beacause many helicopters can hold hight without any problems with speed in real life.  (Yes fim-33 can be the problem but thats up to pilot to decide move or freeze) now it is not convenient no way to freeze without movement.

 

On small throttle and movement It feels like huge speed impulse that pilot need to compensate with trottle control and the  heli feels like it has no weight like not an Apache but like small Robinson. Vehicle response to the buttons by default very huge. This can be compensated with custom settings btw.

Speed: 

It feels like the lack of speed even in falling mode with full throttle but it feels too fast with small throttle maneuvers that settings should be corrected as for me on all heli including osprey.

Add more max speed and create small throtle when you can play careful pilot with huge maneurability.

 

 

Damage:

This is ok that heli can blow if on high speed it faces an obstacle but

but this is ridiculous that with the smallest throttle there is no way to safe land the heli without hitting the ground causing heli damage.

The only way to safe load the heli  --- just not use trottle so hely would literally fall with no throttle (not touching throttle after minimum rotation and throttle) impulse without any damage.

 

Moreover if the heli hit any obstacle like container it can simply fall sideway  or even worse.

Thats not right. Impact with obstacle on 5 km/h won't cause huge heli to fall sideway.

 

Angeled takeoff

Imagine you parked your heli not fully "horisontaly" to the ground level, like on hill.

Taking off even with full throttle wont just take your heli up like even in BF4 o no.

You most way will move not the direction of the main propeller like pilot may think but to the random sideway or just roll over and blow, and all this happen even with full throttle.

Like it is a car with propeller not the heli at all.

 

Weapon system

-No TV guided missles

-Incorrect damage radius with rockets on helis.

(to shoot troop you must hit it direcly with rocket, and if you miss there will be no damage, no effect. Blast effect not kill)

-huge blast radius with 20/30mm airgun for secon pilot.

This is ridiculous you cannot kill troop with rocket but can miss with the 20mm gun and still kill troops with blast radius.

 

 

Best wishes!
