Re: Bring back Helicopters to Al basrah
air vehicles cannot return to the map until the view distance is increased as sound bugs happen aplenty
alternative is decreasing the sound radius on the trans choppers which is a step backwards really.
I enjoyed trans choppers being a feature on basrah, however lets be honest...as soon as your in the city the trans chopper is just a big target.
a CAS chopper would be very nice on a 32 layer minus the tank and a few other vehicles, and put it on delayed spawn. but again...view distance.

Re: Bring back Helicopters to Al basrah
I'm in favor for adding a lynx on Basrah, it would be fun to kill with techies and RPG's. The insurgent main is perfectly placed. If u know how to play, u can get a fair fight even if the brits are waiting at your gate. As for the tank, keep it, it keeps realism and its fun to kill with mines, and more rarely, with an organized AT squad, with RPG's.

That's hardly being a jerk.Tofurkeymeister wrote:Take it easy man, there is no reason to be a complete jerk about something you disagree with.
English is his first language yet he can't spell scimitar, also an Apache would upset the beautifully balanced map.
Also if you read my post I don't disagree.....

lynx is a very fast chopper and having a tank with that will make the UP ins more UP

That's just the CO-OP variant, same as PRSP 0.87.stealth420 wrote:ive seen the new map overviews and it looks like the choppers are being brought back to albasrah from what ive looked at.
Qwai River has had it's view distance increased and choppers returned, so maybe Al Basrah will receive similar treatment sometime.

Read closely: its co-op. Not standard regular vanilla bread PR.
This is the run of the mill Basrah, exactly the same.

Re: Bring back Helicopters to Al basrah
I second the motion for Helos back on Basrah, its a classic map for tight helo insertion!
Lynx would be outstanding, like it used to be! Or LBs! (LB would be better, easy to kill, to keep the precious balance).

Re: Bring back Helicopters to Al basrah
I want to see the overwhelming material superiority remain in Insurgency, hell, bring back the A10. Give them two.
Four Cobras? Sure, throw an Apache in there too in case a .50 gets to be a problem.
Leave the tanks in as well, no harm at all in having assets that for all intents and purposes are unkillable if used properly.
Just bring back hardcore civvie punishments so Insurgency is what it is in real life - a constant struggle to deploy minimum possible force to meet the objective, despite access to high intensity warfighting equipment designed for WWIII.

Currently the Lynx is only on Qinling, in 0.9 it will be on Lashkar Valley and Iron Ridge as well.bloodthirsty_viking wrote:its in what, one map now?
There should hopefully be co-op servers, but for normal insurgency mode there won't be helicopters on Basrah. Refer to the map overview dtacs posted.bloodthirsty_viking wrote:Edit.. thats also co-op. how do we know it will be like that online?
