lol

The crashes in the helicopters I'm talking about will be caused by ramping the peddles down through the warm up. If you try to take off while the engine is warming up it will just cause you to tip forward and do a forward flip to death face-plant stunt.

It's as if you were trying to do a front flip off a diving board into a brick wall.

see enough of that as it is with the 1337 little bird pilots, this might make me spawn at the airport on bashrah now, just to see them all smacking into the ground in a row blaming server lag.

what does the green text on the top mean? Types and teams and the 100% thingy (for lack of a better word). Im sure they have some significance to the game.

....or that once they figure that part out then get in the tank.. they cant drive it or turn the turret because they don't know that they need a crewman kit.

Repeat same scene, replace tank with helicopters and crewman with pilot.

Well thats final then, when SL i will never let my men fly, !!!!,

I have seen to many good men go to their deaths in the present hop in a fly helis, therefore to ensure i loose no men from my squad, i will be kicking any from the squad who gets in a un-certified helicopter!!!!!!

p.s great changes *thumbs up*

'[R-DEV wrote:eggman']aside from the mobile spawn point .. another cool touch is that APCs (and Tanks) are entered and exited at the hatch locations. So you get into the LAV from the back, the Type 99 from the top of the turret and the BTR-90 from the doors on the side

I love all of these ideas, and you have just made me extremely impacient for the next release! But my main question is, how do you get on top of the Type 99 to get next to the turret?

for 0.5 will the way kits are requested be changed
it seems in my eyes to be somewhat of an exploit to be able to request a kit to instantly deal with a threat at any control point as opposed to kitting out in the home base/headquarters. It makes sense and is realistic to be able to take them from APCs but is it acceptable to simply pretend that a weapons cache is dumped at a cp every time a flag is captured? I'd prefer that for tactical and teamplay reasons that all requestable kits only be available from one base flag point not every single one of them

Agreed skeletor, kits shouldn't be requestable at the "contested" flag. Awesome idea.

EDIT: I wasn't being sarastic. Damn internets.

Agreed, but the next step in the changes there are not coming until v0.6.

If we can make it do what we want.. and yer a realism and teamplay nut (who can live with a bit of metaphor) you'll like what we're planning. But as noted, it's gonna be v0.6 before we are "there".

QUICK NOTE:
is different speeds (aka shift+w/w) for vehicles coming in 0.5?

Post by **dbzao** » 2007-01-13 19:28

Not yet.

*sighs twise*, it aint to bad really. Done some of the old infantry hide behind the tank thing and it is not too difficult to keep the tank traveling at the right speed.

There are more important things, but still a nice little feature.

I thought there was already a vehicle boost button in vanilla
