Bring back Helicopters to Al basrah

[Rudd]

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.

I don't think about this is good idea!!!
Also if the replase C2 to WAH64 - they is great,becouse on karbala am destroy choppers by RPG =)
Tank not destroy by RPG =(

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.

Take it easy man, there is no reason to be a complete jerk about something you disagree with.

That's hardly being a jerk.

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.....

Chill out guys

[rushn]

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.

Qwai River has had it's view distance increased and choppers returned, so maybe Al Basrah will receive similar treatment sometime.

According the the map overveiws it looks like Bashra has its chopper again so think this thread is about done.

As above, so it isn't done.

but no tank

[bloodthirsty_viking]

but no tank

but a attach helo

Edit.. thats also co-op. how do we know it will be like that online?

[dtacs]

Read closely: its co-op. Not standard regular vanilla bread PR.

This is the run of the mill Basrah, exactly the same.

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).

No British forces use the little bird.

i wish the luink would have been in longer, its in what, one map now?

it looked fun.. i got to fly it 2 times scince its realise, and i wish it could be used more....

plus i still here sound bugs on alot of maps, with or without helos or armor... i think its fine to bring it back to basara XD

[Truism]

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.

[Snazz]

its in what, one map now?

Currently the Lynx is only on Qinling, in 0.9 it will be on Lashkar Valley and Iron Ridge as well.

Edit.. thats also co-op. how do we know it will be like that online?

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.

I miss the helis so much is realy cool with the merlin had some pretty good evacs with it. I dont realy care for the sound bug it didnt always happen and when it did it only stayed for 5 mins and it was over.
