Chopper spawn time

Post by dominator200 »

Right dnt no if this able to be implemented but its worth a try, because the spawn time are so long for the choppers if u get shot down the chopper remians or atleast the destroyed remanece anyway, If the pilot or a squad near the location activly seeks and destroys the chopper with a foss it destroys the reckage and cuts the spawn time down by like 5 mins.
This idea would give pilots something to do wen they get shot down.

Nah, Go help the team cap a flag or find a cache while you wait. You already wasted tickets by getting the chopper destroyed, now go help the team instead of wandering around looking for a pile of lost tickets.

If I lose my chopper ingame, I just go "damn, lost my chopper, I'll go join the infantry, gg lads"

On the carrier, the chopper will respawn, then whoever is avaliable to pilot can get a pilot kit, join the pilot squad and the cycle can begin anew.

THe remaining wreck does not affect the spawn time, and I'm 99,99% sure of that.

With the current spawn times being high, or in some cases, choppers not respawning it really discourages people from risking losing them, and makes them battle to keep them alive, not risking stupid drops etc.
Adding this would just detract from the mentality of "Oh Sh*t i better not lose my chopper." , because i know that if i lose it then i can just burn it , get a chopper ride back to the carrier and then mine will have returned.

If you lose your chopper your best bet is to pick up a rifle and go and support infantry, or grab a truck and build a firebase. You should be thinking about how you can help your team now your shot down, and not about when you can get back to flying again.

I have personally witnessed someone crash 6 helo's on Muttrah, so personally, I think the spawn timer certainly doesnt need to be any shorter.

Yes but the responses like if u crash u shouldnt fly and disscourages ppl form wasting them isnt tru becasue i believe thats wat aa is for and in relation to the army dnt bring back choppers for repairs im pritty sure they send a team out to blow it up for intelligence purposes.
In terms of karbala the lb is so weak that a tech can u shoot u down with little effort and u have to wait 20mins for the respawn, u no it amazes me wen ppl say that u shouldnt crash and blah blah blah well wat about lag spikes. the occational mistakes and aa cant be helped this would give the pilot a chance to cut the spawn time down by like 5 mins.

Getting shot own isn't always your fault...sometimes your just unlucky . Don't be so harsh on pilots.
