Autorotation and sth else!

[PatrickLA_CA]

I watched on Discovery channel that heli's can be saved if their engine is down and it will be much more realistic if we could have autorotation when heli's are being shot because in reality not all hits blow the heli in the air well of course if it is possible with BF2 engine because I know it is a bit stubborn. More info about autorotation on wikipedia: Autorotation (helicopter) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Autorotation is the state of flight where the main rotor system of a helicopter is being turned by the action of air moving up through the rotor rather than engine power driving the rotor. The term autorotation can be traced back to a period of early development in helicopters between 1915 and 1920 and refers to the rotors turning without the engine.[1]

In normal, powered flight, air is drawn into the main rotor system from above and exhausted downward, but during autorotation, air moves up into the rotor system from below as the helicopter descends. Autorotation is permitted mechanically because of a freewheeling unit, which allows the main rotor to continue turning even if the engine is not running. It is the means by which a helicopter can be landed safely in the event of an engine failure, consequently all helicopters must demonstrate this capability in order to be certified."

And can you make more squads than 9 because some players make a squad of 2 or 1 and lock and a lot become unassigned if it is possible with BF2 engine it will be great. Thanks!

Autorotation isn't possible with the BF2 engine. The game basically only has on/off for vehicles. So if the engine of a helo is disabled then its just going to sink like a rock. This is why we have the problem of allowing co-pilots to take over if the pilot dies.

Locked.
