Helicopters getting stuck in the ground

[saXoni]

Hey guys. As I flew the Kiowa today, I experienced a very annoying thing. My chopper got stuck in the ground, due to a bit to hard landing, and that my throttle was still on minus as I was on the ground.
I'm not sure if this has been suggested before, or if it's being worked on, but is it possible to make the choppers stop getting stuck in the ground?

I do know that it only happens when the throttle is under 0%, and that its kind of newbish to do it, but sometimes it happens, even with a lot of experience.

I would guess the problem appears mostly with Hueys, Cobras and Kiowas, since they dont have any wheels.

Thanks,
saXoni.

It happens. It's just another one of those bugs.

Or, you could just set your throttle not all the way at zero...

Tap your "decrase trotle" button when landing, should do the job.
Once my huey got stuck in carrier and I turned around, it came off(sadly it fell off the deck after thath )

its not your fault. but you cant blame every bug in the game for a mishap either. this is one bug that cant/wont be fixed.

I would like to suggest that PR be ridden of all bugs. Kthx.

Please post this in the bugs forum, and not the suggestions forum.

[saXoni]

Dev, that was not what I asked about.

And BTW, I'm not reporting it as a bug, I'm suggesting they fix it.
Please read my post before replying.

A bug report carries with it an inherent suggestion to fix the bug as reported, and dev was trying to help you in the right direction.

[Dev1200]

In order for bugs to be fixed, you post it in the bugs section.

If you want to add/change/remove something from the game, you suggest it. You do not suggest that bugs be removed, you report them in the bugs section.

Heli's colliding with the ground enough to get stuck, mostly on carriers, is a bug.

Moved to proper forum. Please supply us with some more details if you can, the more details you provide the more likely the bug can be looked into and fixed

[saXoni]

Okay. My intention was not to report it as a bug, but just to make you avare of that this is a problem, and if there is a way to fix this, I suggest you do. I guess I have to do it the long way. I will see if I can gather a bit more information about this "bug".

Dev, sorry for being a bit rude. It was early in the morning, and totaly wrong of me.

Thank you for moving this post to the right place.

Lets start off with some easy facts that you might already know, but can be important.

I can assure you that this problem does not only appear on the carriers. When this problem happend to me (one of many times) it was right outside the helipad on the airbase on Ramiel.
The problem may appear more often on carriers, I dont know.

This problem does not appear because of hard landings. Hard landings will make your chopper explode, not get stuck in the ground. The reason why it gets stuck is because you have the throttle below 0% (After you have landed it, ofcourse).

This problem does not appear for choppers with wheels (as far as I know). Having the throttle below 0% for these type of choppers will make it move forward or backwards, not quite sure, to be honest.
What I'm trying to say is that choppers with iron bars as wheels. Sorry, I have no other idea how to explain it.

The Kiowa might be a bit more exposed than any other chopper. Why do I think so? Because as you turn the Kiowa while being on ground, you can hear a grinding noise. I think this sound comes because the Kiowa is actually a bit stuck all the time, just not enough to get stuck for sure, and unable to take off.

That was round 1. I guess I'll come with an update as soon as I gather some more information.
