Winch System on Chinook and Merlin

[dunem666]

Seems to be an issue with people dumping trucks and other assets in the middle of a game and eventually losing tickets because of it. These could be put into good use and give the logi pilots another job.

This video is taken from the BF2 Mod "Georgian Conflict"

YouTube - Georgian Conflict .211 Tutorial- How To Airlift

I think this feature would complete the Realism for chinooks especially. Being able to recycle or even RTB light vehicles for repair.

Whilst on this note, if a "Life Strap" was created as a vehicle spawner object with means of deployment, that player(s) could sit in the "Life Strap" and then get winched by heli as extraction.

Not quite fast ropes, but fast rope "get me the hell outta here".

Feedback peeps?

airlifting vehicles? Been suggested already, that's for sure. Idk about it tho. I'm sure the devs would have put it in by now if it worked properly or something

[Imchicken1]

It does work properly as shown in the video he posted. But im sure this is a resuggestion

+1 for the whole idea tho. I spent a whole round with another guy saving abandond vehicles. Our job was never done tho...

yeah I like the idea too but there has to be a reason why it's not in game already. Perhaps they're working on it . Idk

Re-suggestion, and be careful putting up a Georgian Conflict video because then they'll come in here and accuse us of stealing their ideas.

Well you can go ahead and do it, but don't expect any help from us. The devs will have their reasons for not doing it, they don't have to do every good idea.

Run a search for Georgian Conflict and you'll see that in just about every thread where anything from there is vaguely mentioned in any way, you hop in and grumble about them.

[yep we will] (sarcasm) cause let's see if your fans would ask you to add this to PR and you do it, that gives me rights to add something that PR has.

eye for an eye, guys

Plus you guys have almost everything that bf2 can offer, why do you need our stuff? If you really want it go head and play GC instead of whining to PR dev that you want it in PR.

[Rudd]

here we go again....

Vepr, no1 from PR will steal any work from your mod that is just a fact

however if a PR dev coded a airlift system for PR from scratch, there is nothing to prevent that, you don't hold a patent on the idea.

it would be like pr saying your not allowed to change the air physics of the aircraft because PR did it. If you copied and pasted the air phyics from PR, then yeah...thats bad, but if you did it yourself...then theres nothing wrong.

[Vepr]

yep, im gonna let it go this time lol, this is pathetic

[Imchicken1]

lol, trolling ttm

If a winch system was put in game, then it would have to be made that it cant be exploited by players who would attatch onto random manned vehicles and dump them in the water or where ever.

[Vepr]

well we can choose what vehicles that the chopper can lift and how much weight it puts on the chopper to lift.. the heavier the object the harder it is to lift it.

[myles]

i think its used like the bomb system caRRIES and drops

thats quite interesting, i wonder how "you" do it

[PLODDITHANLEY]

Such a shame that people with the same passions and goals can't get together or help each other out.

Nice to have, but look at all the problems we have just with flipping LB's on the carrier!

Plus imagine the ticket loss, chopper, pilot, squad on board plus underslung vehicle....

[Dunehunter]

Locking as this is a re-suggestion. Trust me, the devs know about the other mod.
