let's not forget about helis!!

[snipurs]

ok well i see the most common aspect of all the bf,dc and stuff is that the heli is no longer a stealth application, and no longer a recon applications its like driving a tank with propellers.just to say that i want to have "some" range while i am flying my helis and not have to get 100 feet from my target just to see him.

i have a qeation how are you gonna handle the far away targets?
are you gonna put the heli in auto-hover while we target somthing thats father then what we can see or drop a bomb thats needs to be guided to its target?

[snipurs]

i didnt mean bombs for helis ^^ i didnt explain my self my qeation was dirrected to planes and helis or any other laser guided bomb ^^

[snipurs]

in the mod are we also gonna have fire and forget type of missles? it would be really important if we do but i think only on certain maps cause i really like the idea of sending the ammuniction to the target by hand ^^

[snipurs]

i mean fire and forget for ground targets, they use gps to guid them selves to the target to the ground

[DrZero]

the helicopters FLIR (i think thats what its called, im not a military advisor) will be one of the first things that we adapt when we get the code, we have a couple of Helicopter fanatics on the dev team (read:greenie and blackberet) and thats the only way to appease them

[snipurs]

will do ^^

Yeah making helos as realistic as possible would be the best thing ever. I really enjoy having the ability to shoot down from above!

[starwarsfan11]

go helis how about for out of site targets a ground trooper could designate it and it would come up on helis screen so gunner could guide the missile

[CHIKEN]

Hopefully the helis code isnt hardcoded in. You could really get some nice missiles going if its not.

I would really like an accurate hellfire missile...you know after firing it launches about 100 feet into the air flips and goes straight through the roof of your enemy below. Ugh, i hope BF delivers to all of our expectations!

miles in some cases

[CHIKEN]

Yeah like I said, if you have your target, the Hellfires can hit that exact target way out of sight in real life.

Yeah although that is real. That may be a bit of over kill. Since in a game you would probably be able to sit in teh hanger and fire hellfire missiles out onto the battlefield without moving an inch. Which although using real charechteristicks is totally fake. As you can never make a game "real" just as real as possible. Using real physics equations and measurements is the closest you can get in a game no way you can make an identical dopler radar system or something

Not to mention most of the time you have to do fake things to make it seem more real...

yea i saw that how they can take out balastic nukes with the focus of heat to take out its gas tank it was pretty cool

They have lower intensity lasers that can blind the seeker heads of IR missles. If everything goes right it makes the missle lose track and go off target. Then there's blinding lasers. AFAIK the US abandoned such projects, but the Russians are suspected of producing them, while the Chinese have openly put such weapons on the market. It was suspected that such weapons were used off the coast of Washington from a Russian freighter against a UH-60 crew, Korea near the DMZ against Apache crews, and in Kosovo.
