Another firebase suggestion *sigh*

Post by Elektro »

Some of you might agree with me, and most of you wont agree with me :p but i have allways thought it would be nice to build a Helipad, or a small repair station in my firebase...

Of corse the repair station wouldnt be like the one at main, becouse then you could take 100s of AT rockets, and your tank would still be as good as new. The same goes to the helipad. But when you need a pickup or another supply drop, its so hard for most pilots to land on rocky terrain. Thats why it would be usefull to put up a helipad some places.

Do it so that you can place 1 per FOB or less if you want.

Nice idea,this rocks for heli pilots.
I know how hard it is,to just land with Huey,and even harder on rocky mountains!
I agree with you.

You do not have to land the huey on rocky surfaces, sometimes choosing an offset LZ or simply hovering can allow your desired passenger to get onboard. However, taking note of how experienced pilots land can also give you an idea of how to land a huey...

Back to topic, unless your building a fort of something, a helipad is basically useless in a Forward Outpost, unless of course like you said it can repair or rearm the helicopter.But looking at it, how far can the main be, is it worth landing in a firebase and thus exposing it? Remember that unlike IRL, you can reach the main in a minute or so, providing that there are no irritating AAs locking into you. I'm not sure how a helipad is going to be up in the mountains but if it can be done why not?

*hint for pilots* Do not try to land on rocky/uneven terrain, hover above so troops can jump and enter the vehicle in mid air.

*hint for Troops* Before you call air transport choose the proper landing zone



It wouldn't hurt but IMO it's not needed.... just follow couple simple rules and there will be no need for things like this.

Landing on a place without walls or base rape rule and stay there for some time is good for the RPG or 0.50 guy hidden out there, not for the helo.

Plus a rearming helipad constructed at 500 from enemy base will assist a rocket spamming.

Also its a resuggestion
